Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 20, 2020

Once again, a little over 10 years ago, Richard posted a blog entry regarding this strip:

shaking one’s hand vigorously until the receiver’s own shoulder almost dislocates doesn’t seem very secretive

Petey, a gracious and generous host.

Andre is precisely what Petey needs.

Petey is in awe of Andre’s gregariousness; however, “He could have gone easier on the Secret Handshake! That’s my Chewing Arm!”

Petey’s all shook up, uh huh huh!

I think that Petey prefers his imaginary friends.

OMG! Petey has survived his playdate with ANDRE “KABOOM” CHANG! And “shaking hands” (and also shaking pretty much everything else) is better than gnawing off one’s arm….

The sat-on diorama is now just a diagram.

Cannot wait to hear Alice’s final press conference.

This is one of my favorite story arcs, Petey making a friend. Heartwarming but not sappy

Petey’s my favorite character

Andre is a much more exuberant robust little boy than our Peter.

That arm. That sore arm. That’s the one you need to chew off.

Ironically, the diorama was a scathing commentary on the big, noisy world… ☺

At least his eyeballs settled back in to place quickly!

So this friend is real, right?

I’ve never sat on a diorama. Are they comfortable?

Looks like Peteyman is going to have yet another out of body experience.
