Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 10, 2020

sure is quite the contraption

It went “Zip” when it moved, And “Bop” when it stopped, And “Whirrr” when it stood still. I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will

Dill, let your brothers take a look at it.

No worries, Dill! DillBros. LLC.™ will use it as a prototype for some kind of project!

Don’t worry, son. It’s just toying with you.

If it smells bad perhaps you should wash it. But not while it’s sparking.

Dill’s physical representation of Life.

He is such a sweet kid..

Anyone else get the feeling that that toy’s only purpose is to take over the world and destroy all humans?

A fart box on wheels-lovely!

It’s a reincarnated jazz musician. On wheels.

Take heart. It’ll grow up to become (fill in the blank with profession you hate).

sounds a little like our leader.

Reminds me of the Christmas song: Marvelous Toy (Google it if you don’t know it)

Wow, who knew Dill was so much like Petey?

I think it’s beyond cheering up.

From the symptoms Dil mentions, I think it needs a laxative.

I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

It’s a jack-in-the-box from the Chernobyl Toy Works…

Some might worry about Dill.

Poor thing! It started out, I guess, as A Marvellous Toy That Went “Zip” When It Moved, “Bop” When It Stopped, “Whirrr” When It Stood Still. And now look at it. Dill is so kind to it!

Sounds like me on any given Monday morning.
