Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 21, 2019

birth flashbacks, Dil?

Is it the kind of crayon box that has a built-in crayon sharpener?

“Extra Waxy” is the very best kind!

And you MUST put them back in the same slot they came out of.

Preschoolers equivilent to Free Keg & Appitizers!

And tomorrow, they’re going to be dingy, cruddy and bloppy, many lost and the remaining ones broken in half. Except for the white one, which nobody uses. It will be pristine.

I remember the box had a built-in crayon sharpener, which served to snap the top off any crayon inserted in it…

Did they see the mythical sharpener, too?

I remember extra waxy knock off crayons. Sold in a box that looked something like Crayolas. You had to lean on them with all of your weight to get them to transfer any color to the paper.

Did anyone else get those giant crayons with one flat side in preschool?

Anyone else having a “new crayon smell” flashback?

Dill ordered lunch. Miss Bliss delivered.

In fifteen seconds, the built-in sharpener will be broken off inside the box, never having sharpened a single crayon.

This is always the best cartoon of the day, other cartoon strips are good, but this ones the best

The Holy Grail of childhood. Until the 128 came along….

Extra waxy crayons always tastes better than the other ones.

That was the Holy Grail of crayons.

We were not of the Wealthy Artsy Class when I was a kid, so the basic eight box was what I had most of the time, until finally one fine day I got the 64-color Crayola box! It was just as the Blisshaven kids describe!
