Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 21, 2022

Boring.

Not exactly Stan Lee…

Hey, guy sitting in a chair and fidgeting and reading a book — THERE’S A TOAD ZOMBIE RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!

Oh, the ennui is unbearable!

I think the tension is working on Alice.

“I see a man sitting on a chair, and the chair is biting his leg.”

Petey’s a budding Proust.

With apologies to Daniel Stern’s character in “City Slickers” – If tension was people it’d be China!

Does anyone ever make it past the third page?

I see what you did there, Mr. Thompson. RIP

You know there was a guy, his name alludes me, who was assignated by sword(?) while reading. I think it was a long time ago and his wife even tried to warn him. There was a picture in my history textbook but if it was a comic Petey would be the first I’d ask to make it

I wonder what the toad zombies cry out in hunger for? Surely not brains, that’s too colorful and exotic. Probably something beige and bland.

Petey, My Hero, is also my kind of author, right up there with Charles Dickens, though Mr. Dickens wrote short stories if compared to Petey’s unfinished magnum opus….
