Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 08, 2021

Perfect, now Alice is wanting André’s wanted toy.

Alice, you’re the World’s Greatest Manhole Cover Dancer; a talent that you and you alone excel in! You need to comport yourself accordingly.

There was a song about a toy like that, The Marvelous Toy, by Peter, Paul and Mary.

That’s enough excitement for one day, Petey.

Is Alice reverting to some kind of primal whachacallit?

Peter worries too much.

Maybe the TV ads are using subliminal messaging as it worked with both Andre and Alice though Petey appears to be immune.

Zip when it moves, bop when it stops?

Now thats what you call praising the tube god

It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped and whir when it stood still!

That may explain some of the expressions we see on Alice’s face.

I had one of those!

I’m guessing it ain’t a Slinky.

Well, she won’t be able to enjoy it much when she goes blind from sitting too close to the tv! (according to my wonderful mother and millions of others!!)

Her close vicinity to the TV reminds me that some TVs (CRT type) were shown to emit x-rays and close viewing, like every kid in the world, could cause damage. Most of those were out of adjustment, but….

Now means Now! God she might be a kiddie Trump supporter.

“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid…”

Uh-oh. It may be too late for Alice!

Andre, on the other hand, is so massive that his metabolism can probably withstand a lot of exposure….

Sounds like a Marvelous Toy!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNDRTdEpS10
