Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 12, 2020

I’m with André on this one.

Clear reference to Windsor McKay’s “Little Nemo in Slumberland.”

I think Andre is right, “Fearmonger the Menace Merchant” is a bit more compelling and it would probably be a cult classic among those who work in the retail and fast food sectors as well as those employed by the postal service….

This time, a little over 10 years ago, Richard posted a blog entry regarding this and the 2 prior strips:

Petey has found nirvana.

THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS

THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS

This is the way the world ends

[not with a bang]

Petey, you forgot to start or end the comic with an explosion!

The way I read it, there are 3 too many Little Nero’s drawn in.

…until one of them moves… then it’s pure chaos

I can iterate about 3 times before it gets boring. :-)

fractal fairy tales

Ah yes, stasis. Something politicians in congress know about rather well.

How is little neuro not extremely fat?

Just finished reading Team Cul de Sac, in which many cartoonists drew Thompson’s characters in various comics of their own. Proceeds go to fight Parkinson’s. It’s a lovely book.

It’s Little Neuro’s all the way down.

A recursive routine without an exit condition – classic software bug.

Petey! I think you broke Andre! ♾️

So – the opposite of IDIC?

In a sea of brilliant Cul de Sac strips, this is one of the very finest.

But, Petey, My Hero: Little Neuro is asymptotic, approaching Zero Entropy but never quite reaching it. It’s like one of ancient Greek Zeno’s Paradoxes….

At least the Infinitieth Little Neuro is reading Garfield, I hope!
