Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 29, 2022

good for you, Alice

I loved little treasures at that age, too

She could’ve had the same amount of fun playin’ with the quarter.

I once spend $4.50 trying to get a little plastic skeleton. I still have him, though – over thirty years later.

Those machines were our first psychological introduction to gambling.

I’m sure the whistles would have to have been confiscated after a few minutes anyway. This should be much quieter…until the METEOR HITS!!!! Oh, no….!

Or, my parent’s favorite (NOT): the fake tattoo decals.

What if it was a whistle shaped like a dinosaur?

Have fun with your price, Alice.

I always liked the super balls. I was easy to please.

Mom always throws in a sly joke, but I’m not sure I get this one.

Mom’s plaintiff plea for sanity and fresh food is lost on the Center of the Universe, who fortunately is satisfied with a dinosaur….
