Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 09, 2019

I’m with Petey on this one.

There was this podcast about books I listened to the other week, where one of the hosts talked like this: “If, like, you really think about it, it’s like, unfair that a, like, good writer will, like, fail without, like, name recognition?” I wanted to scream at her to try to talk well if she’s going to be in a podcast.

Ah, it’s like all the newscasts lately going on about the royal baby. DO I CARE?

Lose the Clueless up-talking with every sentence sounding like a question is what Madelane should tell Alice!

Uff da!

Ah, come on. It’s so good to hear SOME news without having to hear todays new heart-breaking episode about Trump is out destroying ______________ (whatever today’s loss is)

One day his eyes will stick like that…

She sounds like a southerner.

“Up-Speak” which thankfully seems to be less extensive than when this comic was first published.

If she used “Vocal Fry” at the same time, Petey’s head would explode. (Well, mine would)

Free doughnut? Umm… I’ve got [counting] six stray carts that, umm, SOMEHOW wound up in my back yard! Can I get six doughnuts as a “finders” fee?

And, I listened to your story? And it went on and on? You wouldn’t stop talking? Not even to take a bite? I couldn’t stand it?

Sometimes people have to see how they talk in print.

I love ribbing friends and family who give their details in public like it’s a question. “What’s your name?” “My name is Bob?” I like to reply, “You just gave your name as a question. How should that other person know?”

Fun times!

Yea. I’m with Petey. On a lot of things, actually, except socks.

What would happen if you paired an upspeaker with one of those gits that reply to every question with “So…”

Please, Otterloops, never move to California! Alice is already in danger of becoming a Valley Girl? You know? Like, totally uncool, fer sure?
