Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 19, 2022

keep your retorts to yourself, Petey

Poke a Petey; Page a waitress…

The waitress is a superhero.

Shades of my youth…

Touche

Where’s the jelly caddy?

This strip has the power to make me laugh, often.

that is why Alice did not get the sword in the first place….her reputation proceeded her.

I remember those little devils, you better check for blood!

Usually a quip is mightier than the sword, but not today, Petey.

The waitress was so sweet to do that for Alice.

Little girls and swords; I must leave this gem from Sir Pterry here https://imgur.com/gallery/r2fW2o7

She took away the jelly caddy and Petey has a lot of toast left, also Alice has barely started on her kiddieburger.

Alice quickly says “thank you.” she’s a force but she has manners. Not the brat she sometimes plays the part of.

Peter is having a tough time of it, dining with the family at P.J. Piehole’s.

For that matter, so is Petey, My Hero.

Madeline is right to disarm the dangerously unpredictable Alice!

The scene just flows like real time, from the first panel to the last.

Is this Richard’s last daily strip artwork?
