Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 27, 2022

good try anyway, Beni

I hope she doesn’t play on the double yellow line!

Can the Banjo Man be close at hand?

Miss Bliss on the tricycle may be the single greatest panel in Cul de Sac history.

They blacktopped the play yard because kids were eating dirt.

Nara messed with his head. Better not to think of Miss Bliss at play.

Alice knows Miss Bliss doesn’t have it easy…

Naptime is when Miss Bliss gets to neck with Timmy Fretwork.

I read these over and over again and I still laugh out loud. Kids do have such wonderful imaginations. So did Richard.

Guess again, Ben. She is standing behind the dumpster with other teachers and blowing smoke…

I was a teacher before I realized that our nap time as kindergartners was Mrs. Brown’s prep period.

And she goes out with a guy who plays the banjo.

I heard she has a therapy session with the tube slide jungle gym.

Next she’ll be insisting they all wear masks!

i bet all the teachers would love to go out onto the pavement and ride a tricycle to alleviate some stress during each school day!

Beni is on the verge of becoming a little rebel, but fortunately Nara’s narrative [I’m sure you noticed what I did], true or false, has saved the day for Miss Bliss!

And now it’s Nap Time!

When Ben gets older he will look forward to naps. I know I do.
