Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 14, 2021

Any other excuses, Alice, why a catsup fountain is such a cool Christmas gift idea?

What are the areas of the country that say catsup and those that say ketchup?

Number 5. Alice, when’s the last time you shared anything of yours!

I like the callback to the fountain.

Logic and reason to the rescue again.

If she would have received that catsup fountain, she’d have been Queen at McDonalds!

“A perfectly good big ugly fountain” :)

Beni is the voice of reason.

“Well, in Heinz-sight…”

( ͡ ﹏ʖ ͡  )

I say, “go for the ketchup volcano!”

I can’t remember, is the big ugly fountain in her bedroom? I seem to remember that she wanted it there.

“Sharing Time.” Translation- gloating time…

Hurray for Madeline! She completely crushed the “Catsup Fountain” fantasy in panel 2.

Alice may look, and even be, dejected, but that’s okay. It’s a Life Lesson from Mom….

Some Aussie friends call it “Tomato Sauce.”
