Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 17, 2022

very well, Alice

Alice dispensing the wisdom of experience.

Petey, listen to your sister, do the purple thing and man up!!

I don’t think anything can help him except counseling. I’m really not a big fan of counseling as a rule unless it’s absolutely necessary. I know this is a comic strip, but I feel for the boy.

Trade places with Alice. She’ll be up that nostril in no time.

High class place if they have purple crayons. Usually you just get red, blue, yellow, and green.

It’s nice that their duct tape matches the color of the booth seat-back…

Now they just need Danders

Alice will fix it as soon as her burger with the tiny sword arrives.

“glowering”. Ha! Only Petey would use that word!

Richard Thompson must have gone to the original Ivar’s restaurant in Seattle. We sat not far from the canoe while enjoying the best chowder I’ve ever had.

Alice sometimes is a wise child!

And since her counting skills are 10, eleventy twelvty supxteelty…

Good advice, Alice. Petey, you need to put your feelings into your artwork.

drip, drip, drip

Ahh, to have the blissful World View of a four-year-old again, ehh, Petey?

(Glower. Glower. Glower….)

Maybe “Dumb-Dumb” should get him some gum-gum.
