Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 23, 2022

Once again I’m happy to tell you that, a little over 10 years ago, Richard posted a strip related blog entry: 

http://richardspooralmanac.blogspot.com/2012/01/todays-cul-de-sac-from-two-days-ago.html 

that I also posted in a comment 5 years ago. Back then, its John link, which pointed to images of 4 Alice in Wonderland wood carvings that website was selling when Richard posted the blog entry, had already disappeared, and I pointed to its archive closest to the blog date. But checking other archives of that webpage shows the featured carvings changed with time. Currently the website is selling 58 such carvings:

perhaps including the 4 that were featured when Richard pointed to that webpage. When I posted the comment 5 years ago, that website had 89 such carvings (why I say perhaps).

You’re a wonder yourself, Alice Otterloop.

Oopsie or Alice; that’s pretty close to being a Hobson’s choice.

The last two generations of children could not handle Alice, I’m afraid

It’s Dill I feel sorry for……..

That’s the second comic today with Alice In Wonderland.

Go ask Alice when she’s ten feet tall…

One of my cousins wore a petticoat under the dress. I had never seen one before and never since.

Nice drawing on this one. Too bad the lack of logic scared off Alice

I recommend ‘The Annotated Alice’

Personally I am impressed with Richard’s art work. The Alice and the Rabbit really look like the originals…that I remember, at least.

We listened to them in the cat, I mostly remember Through the Looking Glass and liked it. But when I was older and tried reading Wonderland I couldn’t get past the babies turned into pigs and eaten part.

What would you suggest you wear, yellow spandex?

“Little Oopsie and the Enchanted Sippy Cup?” How come I didn’t know about that book when I was little?

Hiya Happyx3!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

That was the dress code those days, my dear.

Alice Otterloop has never shared with that other Alice the marvels of Wonderland, and that’s sad…

All of Alice’s questions and remarks are valid. That really was a bizarre (but enjoyable) book!
