Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 24, 2021

And I sarcastically bet the garland is made from vermicelli.

Andre deserves a spinoff strip of his own. He’ll go to places and situations no middle schooler has ever gone before.

Andre is a wonderful character, and a great friend for Petey.

Noodles falling from the Christmas tree,Alice eating mistletoe. . .

You’re not supposed to cook the pasta before gluing.

The BBC ran a practical joke one April Fool’s Day that convinced people that spaghetti grew on trees: https://youtu.be/tVo_wkxH9dU.

I believe Andre is referring to the famous BBC hoax about the Spaghetti Harvest in Ticino:

Well, I’ve heard of spaghetti trees and bushes but never pasta fir trees!

“T’was the night before Christmas, and all through the house, was the sound of star-noodles, which was stirring that mouse…”

their tree looks really nice after trimming al the branches away to make it level. Alices star is mammoth. i wonder if stepping on one of those pieces of macaroni is as discomforting as stepping on a lego?

An inverted pentagram (the sign of Satan) is the tree top ornament???

Reminds me of this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti-tree_hoax

I do like Andre’s irrepressible optimism, but the pitter-patter of tiny pasta bits drip-drip-dripping might drive me insane, heh heh heh (where did I leave my axe?)!
