Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 15, 2011

B.A.O.!!

P. Oop!

Now THAT was blurting! Go Alice.

Nah, Chikuku. When you love a dog, you have to at least put up with the human, but love for the human is NOT necessary.

Alice you don’t deserve to see that puppy until you chill about Kevin’s big stupid bucket head.

ooops!!

She obviously knows her limitations though.

Let me help you control yourself, Alice. Someone hand me the duct tape.

Alice definitely is easily riled. LOL

Is that blurting, or just being realistic?

I blurt, therefore I am. (Listening to the News)

i love the large word balloon in panel 2!

Sorry, Mom. If she hasn’t learned that sort of self-control by now…

Want the truth? Ask a 4 year old.

BenPanced, “by now?** She’s in pre-school! I think she has lots of time to learn.

I want a blurting Alice with rage action figure!

Panel 2 showed that she has self doubt about it; Alice knows her limits.

She screams and waves her arms and then with bugging eyes and hair aflame She decries the puppy-laden foe of bucket-headed mein:

“I’ll overlook his bucketheadedness if the puppy with drooping tongue I see, unless of course, that bucket head says something stupid to annoy me!”

Then while Mom scrubs at the dish little Alice clamps her mouth and ‘oop’s Mom rolls her eyes and mutters: “It’s just Blurtin’ Alice Otterloop.”

Mere “blurting” does not constitute violence..

Okay… this is a kind-of-rerun, aimed at us readers who have read this from the beginning, aiming to make us smile knowingly.

Heheh. You need to think that, not say it Alice.
