Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 19, 2021

who’d kick Alice in the shins?

Once again, a little over 10 years ago, Richard posted a CdS related blog entry:

that was last repeated here about 3½ years ago. Richard chose to run it again as the final strip, which sadly ran September 23, 2012,

Wait! How does Petey know if he is not right now having an out of body experience while on the soccer field?

Great idea on the shin guards, Alice! Perfect for your Manhole Cover dancing gig!

He actually has a different colour shirt for his second body. Wow.

I avoid such where possible, both sport and out of body experiences.

They’re a bit large for Alice’s little legs. But not to worry. She can tie them together and wear them as a flak jacket.

I imagine that all people who suppose themselves to be sports fans have similar dissociative experiences. Cast into a fugue state by the unutterable tedium of what’s actually in front of them, they somehow they associate the enjoyment they get from imagining they’re doing something else with their presence at a sports game, where the chances of anything interesting happening are almost non-existent.

Petey’s eye size changes quite dramatically from panel one to two. He may be calming down ;)

I often have out of body experiences during trial. It’s really cool, but don’t tell my clients.

Not Dill.

That feeling of exhilaration is called “cardio”

Don’tcha have to have some in-body experiences before you get the out-of-body ones?

Att: Everbody. There’s another strip that’s poking fun at Cul de Sac’s play ground. It’s called Zits. One of the character gets stuck in a tunnel. The funny part that its a teenager! It started on Monday.

Good od pragmatic, down-to-earth Little Sister! I guess she’ll never really understand Petey’s Out of Body experiences….

Alice, you know any sports where you don’t cause bodily injures to one self? Soccer is not one of them, I guest.

Alice could tell where Petey was going with this.
