Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 20, 2019

reminds me of Disney short “The Little House” (narrated by Sterling Halloway)

McMansions. Ugh.

I remember them, big living room, tiny bedrooms.

There’s always 1 cremungean that won’t accept any offer regardless of the big $’s!

I would think it would be the other way around, replace 300 little houses with 100 big ones.

…and yet, in the second panel there’s not a lawn ornament to be found.

that, and those deviled eggs!

When I was around 5 or 6 my mother and I lived with my grandmother in a big old house. When I was around 60 I visited that town and was amazed at how small that house really was.

About 25 years ago I went to buy some concert tickets from a family in a very affluent area. We got there after sunset and when we were surprised that not one light or appliance was on in a 5000 square foot home. It was so dark we had a difficult time verifying the tickets were real. Conspicuous consumption at its best….

They tore down 100 little houses and built 300 big ones? Interesting concept of zoning and proportion.

Grandma is a national treasure (except when pelting passing cars with boiled eggs). So is Big Shirley, the doggie with the Big Reputation. Not so sure about the lawn ornaments, to tell the truth….

what lawn ornaments…where are they…big Shirley ate them didn’t she.
