Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 20, 2021

anybody got some children’s sleep pills? Alice needs one

Such a supportive little sister. :P

Alice without malice takes the joy right outta the boy!

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

that like yesterday, had nothing to do with this particular strip. This entry is more about Richard than the prior ones.

Wallace the Brave and Cul de Sac, where art and wit just make a comic!

Hey! Petey is the one who gets to do the Scathing Commentaries…

(ಠ_ಠ)

Poor Petey with the eyes bugging out in that last panel

And then I remembered your allergies to sports…

My parents thought they could correct my pigeon toed ness by making me kick a ball around the yard for an hour each day. Usually my aim was so bad I kicked my ankle AND tripped over the ball. Don’t play soccer Petey! It just sucks!

Alice, go back to bed. Petey has a lot of things in his mind that needs sorted out.

Alice the bad news bear.

Well, you did; the knots in the sheets came loose.

Alice has earned herself a spanking for this gross mischief! Shame on you, Alice, for so thoughtlessly hurting Petey, and after Mom had put you to bed!

Does anyone heckle you like that, Alice? No fair.
