Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 11, 2022

I have no recollection of involuntarily accompanying my older brother who is a pianst and was a trombonist.

This whole strip is magical, but I could hardly get past YARNK YARNK … Bahahahaha!

Does Alice have a legitimate desire to interact with brother Petey, or is she just yankin’ his chain?

“Windchimes in a sandstorm” – that’s pure Richard!

Mr. Thompson had an extraordinary gift for onomatopoeia.

Can it do “Petey playing an oboe”?

Petey channeling his inner Eric Dolphy.

Needs more COWBELL!

ha hahaha ha.. lol.. cute.. lmao…

No difference in the sounds Petey was making.

Personally, I liked Alice’s better than Petey’s…

Is there actually a toy like that?? There seems to be a sort of radio by that name, powered by a crank (also new to me).

The words that Mister Thompson used for that music look more like an actual foreign language than music sounds.

It’s really embarrassing when your older brother calls for MOM to come get the younger child who just wanted to spend time with older brother.

I want to hear cow gurgles!

MOM! Alice is being a royal pain again! Help!

Wait, I want to hear “Cow Gurgles”
