Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for July 28, 2020

Or at least a bear-slapping fish!

you don’t wanna know, Megan

I feel highly inclined to agree with Alice.

Right now, I’d be suspicious of anyone coughing…

She looks like Viola’s mom, or maybe her sister

Uh Oh, She’s wearing heavy leather gloves!!

Alice is startin’ to get on my nerves…

Megan could be on TV; she’s got the required big head.

Very enthusiastic smile in panel two….and then she met Alice…

Alice-true to form!

I imagine Megan has the Voice of Zuul, from the first Ghostbusters.

Uh oh, she’s got gloves on and carrying a small cage! Something with claws and teeth is about to be unleashed. :P

lmao

The animal lady is one large gal!

“She’d better cough up a fish-slapping bear!” If that isn’t one of the top ten greatest lines in newspaper comic page history, there’s no hope.

May have to settle for a colicky vole.

Alice is not going down easily.

I was always amazed how long a person with a 2.3 minute attention span can keep a weird idea in his head! (I had boys.)

Alice is my favorite

“Cough up” a fish slapping bear???? Could it be that you meant “conjure up” instead of “cough up”?

Megan is looking pretty darned manic in the 2nd frame. Kind of scary.

Megan O’Grady, the Animal Lady, prepare to meet Alice, the Animal Egotist….

Attention: any fish-slapping bears Out There: please report to Blisshaven Academy, stat!

The fish slapping dance

Megan’s face in the second panel could give me nightmares, Jesus Christ.
