Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 27, 2022

good call, Peter, Sr., looking out for Peter, Jr.’s well-being

“Bless Its Pointed Little Head”, by Jefferson Airplane. One of the all-time great live albums.

Petey, how many times I gotta tell ya, ‘Get a Pair!’.

I love Petey’s little smile in panel 5!

this is honestly one of my favorite all-time Cul-de-Sac strips.

Pointy craniums make for excellent head-butting

I appreciate Pop not getting involved.

♪♫ “Two Legs and a Belt and a P…etey!”

Nothing worse than revenge by Alice.

Petey smiled! Lol

YOU DO NOT WANT ALICE TO COME AFTER YOU

Good one Petey! Every good big brother knows you have to keep little sister on her toes, even if that means setting off the volcano now and then. I hope you have a stash of comics hidden under the sink. I know I did.

The subtle difference in Petey’s expression from panel 4 to panel 5 is positively brilliant.

A! A! A! A! I know that letter, too!

And I also know what Alice in her euphoric moment isn’t getting through her pointy little head.

Peter wisely counsels his firstborn son, Petey, and My Hero heeding the prudent advice seeks shelter from the predicted Raging Storm Alice….

I love Panel 2.

Are we back to Richard’s own drawings today? Were Sunday’s separate from the guest artists’ deal? It seems that the drawing is a tiny bit stiffer than before—Alice looks slightly muppetlike in some frames.
