Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 21, 2020

oh, hello, Soapie

I just love Alice’s Curly Joe-like reaction. Try to hear it in his voice. It’s funny as ….

I think Sofie is there for the same reason Alice is there: an older sibling is going to be performing. A heartwarming reunion.

“NGYAGH”—-Isn’t that a Vietnamese surname ?

This may not turn out well!

And I love the eyes on mother! She’s so excited about Petey’s performance!

[Hoonk! Eeenk! Anhk!]

“Shh, it’s starting!”

I’m not sure I’ve ever learned this. What does the mother do so that the kids have to go to Blisshaven?

Easily, we have 500+ hours of video of the kids’ activities. If they ever become famous (or infamous), it’ll be very useful for all the documentaries.

Or blackmail.

Sophie!

Where did she come from? She wasn’t there when I sat down!

Let the HEEKHONKHEEERK’ing begin!

Ha! While Mom is fixed on staring at the stage as she holds Alice’s coat in her lap, less-focused Alice discovers, next to her, [gasp!] the long-unseen “new best friend,” Sofa! Err, Soapie! Err, Sophie! Err, Sofie?
