Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 18, 2022

how dreadful

If you’re going to go for the jugular, a strong, sharp toothpick beats a dull piece of toy plastic.

The swords made in China were held up in Customs.

Continuing Mr. Danders’ search, a little over 10 years ago, Richard posted a couple CdS related blog entries:

that again for some reason, I didn’t post in a comment 5 years ago.

What the neck is an assorted jellies caddy? And, is Petey having jellies for lunch?

Petey’s eyes are enormous in that last panel, a real food/cleanliness freak out in progress :0

I remember being six, and thinking those party toothpicks were the fanciest thing ever! These kids today…

And I’ll bet the catsup dispense is almost empty…

Why, it’s enough to make one chew one’s arm off! ☺

Silverware Petey.

That is some orange food.

No comments today, too confusing. What is dad’s comforting words of wisdom?

To be fair, Madeline, Petey was already percolating, but you are right to address the more destructive volcano first, as Petey’s “meltdowns” are largely self contained, and an angry four year old with a pointy object is a dangerous situation.

On another note, I haven’t seen a soda/coke glass like Madeline’s in years!

So much orange! I’m getting dizzy…

Ah… yes. Parenting.

They’re your children, Madeline. You should be used to simultaneous meltdowns by now.

Not that that makes meltdowns any more tolerable….

What is dad gonna whine about?
