Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 07, 2019

the third in a box of helium? won’t that float away instead of stay in the dirt?

With whom does Alice have these arguments about learning to read?

20 years pass: Petey & Ernesto go into the comic store biz! “Comic Geekdom”!

Boy, if some of my vintage MAD magazines had been sealed in an opaque, temperature-controlled chamber with an inert gas atmosphere, they’d have been worth something today. May even have recouped the cost of storage.

Not much energy in Petey or LN (although plenty of fiber)…

I was with him all the way until the blender. I can’t do that to a good book no matter how many copies I have.

Petey’s putting you on, Alice. Learn to read so you can get back at him with forged notes to your mom from his teachers.

Petey is a blast, so funny

He’d be better off using argon. Helium tends to leak out and escape (the atoms are so small).

Other noble gases would also work, but radon is unstable and radioactive, and krypton is reserved for preserving vintage issues of Superman comics.

That’s kind of how I feel about my Naruto DVDs.

I guess I’m a slow learner but I’m starting to realize how “nuts” this Petey guy is!

Petey could just put newsprint in the blender.

Well, there goes his picky eater rating.

Petey, my hero, has it all figured out! Hurrah for Petey, My Hero!

Don’t be such a sceptic, Alice….
