Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 14, 2020

10 years ago, Richard posted a CdS blog entry 

http://richardspooralmanac.blogspot.com/2010/02/valentines-day-or-now-we-are-six.html 

which was a partial repeat of a blog entry from around this time the year before (didn’t post it here)

do Alice’s parents approve of the movie to which Alice was referring?

Love Viola’s stunned look.

That’s going to burn Viola’s brain out. Watch she doesn’t walk out in front of a cement truck.

Viola: “I guess this is always the dilemma of stunning beauty! Two guys hot for me! I wonder if ‘Dear Abbey’ has a back hot line?”

A perfect strip for St. Valentine’s day-featuring Viola D’Amore!

Alice stuck the knife deep into Petey.

Alice has no filter but what 4 yr old does? What surprises me is that she and her preschool friends seem to roam the neighborhood without adult supervision. Shouldn’t they be confined to a back yard where a parent or keeper can keep an eye on them?

Can’t wait for Petey’s reaction when he finds out what Alice has done. He may never come out from under the blanket again.

HVD… Ran this exact same strip Feb 12, 2010, Feb 13, 2015 and now Feb 14, 2020. Don’t hold your breath, but I predict another viewing Feb 15, 2015.

Cute.

I LOVE Viola!

Well, I’m not sure about the stuffed animal but the delivered sentiment really sold it!

Aww… The whole stuffed gila monster arc ends in a Valentine’s day finale!

Viola and the gila monster! Can it be a token of True Love?

“Amazing Alice” (a very fit name for her!) has set in motion certain reactions that may change Petey’s life forever; or Viola’s; or both….

Looks like Viola’s in shock…
