Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 19, 2019

better watch it, boys, or Alice’ll feed you to Big Shirley

Mockery? Perish the thought! I mock thee not.

Oh, it’s more than mere detection of mockery … you’re awash in wave upon wave of mockery.

Good one Benito!

Mockery, a garden feature made of mud.

Yes. Woman up.

Yes. Yes, you do…

Mocking, no, outright laughing maybe,

I love Dill.Alice is really in a pickle ;)

Heads will roll!!

Big Shirley looks more porcine than canine.

I saw that movie! First time I ever felt sorry for Godzilla!

Big Shirley ravages Osaka!

Go to big brother for Mockery Detection Lessons, Alice. But… prepare to be mocked…

Big Shirley You Jest looks more like a giant hog!

It’s not the dog but the backyard where Alice is forced to play…the one which has never been cleaned…

He spells it Mochrie, Colin Mochrie…

Hey! Big Shirley is getting a Bum Rap! Alice’s irrational fear of granny’s giant doggie is, however, not spreading among her pre-school stalwarts, who sense the truth.

Call it mockery if you will, Alice. But the boys have got it right….

Every time I see Big Shirley the way Richard draws her, I think he was frightened by a pig when he was small…
