Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 27, 2022

This is definitely not sarcasm, right?

Alice is a poor judge about what Petey likes.

Ha ha ha

This is not going to end well.

Famous last words from Alice.

Want some salt with that arm, Petey?

Whose worse, Alice or Lucy from Peanuts?

I take it there is another Petey that does shoebox dioramas.

Alice will find out just how much brother enjoys that soon enough.

Petey’s work will be so valuable that Inspector Clouseau will be assigned to guard it. :)

Don’t do it!

Alice, you know Petey so well.

“And he always finishes a visit to his room to mess with his stuff with a performance of chewing his arm off…”

Poor Petey. Why must he suffer such indignities at the sticky hands of four year olds. I suppose it is good practice for when he has to navigate the real world on his own, on the rare occasion he might leave his room. He might even thank her one day. Nah, probably not.

Alice’s nose is semi-transparent in the first panel.

a French guard? hmmm

Alice reverts to deviltry. Intentional or inadvertent, she will bring disaster to OCD Petey’s sanctum sanctorum!

I like the reverential “museum setting.”

Alice really does live in a world of her own imagination.
