Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 22, 2021

no, you don’t, Alice

Who cares about all that; how’d your test pan out.

Nothing wrong with a gentleman’s C Petey, maybe math is not your forte and if Andre got the A+ you might need a hearing aid after he lets out a loud : “Oh yeah, KABOOM” just like in his comics….

“~If you’re going to Peter’s school class… Watch out for girls with rubber in their hair…”

Alice and rubber bands in her hair, a potentially lethal combination.

That’s Loris’ thing, Alice. Chezzface is more your forte!

I seem to remember an SNL skit with John Belushi talking about wanting a wolverine to nibble his fingers.

Loris says that it’s pronounced “slow-throp”.

Petey often gets his nose out of joint.

Loris is stylin’!!

Loris is about to be weaponized.

I played with a wolverine on our playground once. Poor thing still hasn’t recovered.

Whew! I was afraid it was headed in a different direction…

In Oklahoma, we rarely had wolverines on the playground. Plenty of tornadoes though.

Always happy to see Loris! Not nearly enough Gravity’s Rainbow tributes in the funnypages.

I’ve used the wolverine thing before when I ran into door frame.

If you were mauled by a wolverine, you’re going to be in for some painful rabies shots.

Better than being slapped by Rutherford B. Hayes!

I know the smart money is on Viola, but I would love for Petey to crush on Loris. Yes, she’s too fast for him, but, come on! How adorable is she?

I wonder, is Loris Slothrop any relation to Lt. Slothrop, who went missing in mid to late 1945, while searching for der Springer in Cuxhaven, Germany. der Springer had Lt. Slothrop’s discharge papers. Oh! Rainbows and mysteries. Does anyone have an idea?

I know Loris Slothrup, Alice, and you’re no Loris!

Poor Petey; he is undoubtedly right that telling the True Story to the school nurse would be too embarrassing. The boo-boo itself on his nose is bad enough….
