Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 23, 2022

thank you, Alice, for giving your opinion of the shape of Kevin’s head

And the fact that Alice will be there is another reason.

Alice has been waiting a while for the perfect opportunity to say that.

Come to think of it, Buckethead should be pals with Petey; a mentor who can guide him away from all normal human activities.

Everybody has a memory of a buzzing bee when they were little, because kids can’t stay still and that agitates the bee. Yes, see Petey for advice on avoiding bees and stink bugs.

I don’t like them either. Last time I went to the Baltimore Zoo with some friends, a freaking bee or two buzzed me. They tell me I turned white as a ghost and was really clammy as they shooed it away.

I told them I was terrified of bees!

Great comic. We don’t even have to see Alice, to feel her presence on the scene.

Kevin is doomed forevermore to be known as “Buckethead.”

Will he grow up to become a famous guitar player, with a love for KFC?

He must be Spud’s cousin.

Alice can control bees with her mind.

Alice hates Kevin Buckethead.

Hmmmm… Naw, there CAN’T be any connection.

Blame it on Alice – she “accidentally” pours honey on Kevin at each picnic.

Wow, Alice is in agreement with Buckethead? Somebody check her temperature, stat!

No need to ask who made that comment.

It’s a known fact there’s always at least one who makes a BEEline for the food.

Good grief (if I may quote from another comic strip)! This is no time for Kevin the Buckethead to come to the fore!

Don’t spoil the Blisshaven end-of-year picnic!

How can it be a tradition before you’ve even done it once?
