Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 13, 2021

what an adventure

Dill cracks me up.

Yes, you can stay for lunch. No, you cannot have your popsicle sticks back.

Dill: “Can I sit next to Petey?”

Well he did help rescue Alice, in his mind at least….

No, but you’re in luck. We’re having a an all-you-can-eat popsicle buffet.

Ahhhh, I couldn’t disappoint a little waif like Dill. Grilled cheese and chicken with stars soup for everyone.

Those angry eyes in panel 2 ><

how could you say NO to Dill…i know i couldn’t.

Sure, and thanks for asking…

Oscar Mayer bologna, Kraft singles, and Wonder Bread with Cheetos and a glass of grape KoolAid.

Time is a lot different for kids. When I was in kindergarten and we had the two-week Christmas break, I thought school was over. When I went back, I was convinced it was the next school term and that I had to repeat kindergarten. I thought this until I was an adult. I finally asked my mama and she told me what had happened.

Minutes/days. Time is meaningless when a four-year-old is in the midst of a panic. Madeline is the antidote to Alice, though (thank goodness!). And as for Dill, IMO the youngest four-year-old enrolled in Blisshaven pre-school, by all means feed him, Madeline.

Can I keep him, Mommy? He just followed me home!

Lock up your rubber bands.
