Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 30, 2022

oh, those poor Otterloop kids

This reminds me of stopping at the vast Pottery Factory on the way back from Williamsburg, VA. Anyway, Petey is much better equipped than Alice is for this untimely distraction—he sulks most of the time anyway.

Alice looks like she’s headed for the guillotine!

Remind s me of “South of the Boarder”, “Yell a little kids they’ll stop” or my favorite bill board of all time, “You never sausage a place”, absolutely love it.

Is this the home of the Big Ugly Fountain?

Are they traveling through Alaska, Nome to be specific?

Petey can’t go – there are probably yard gnomes

12 acres?????????????? Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!! :)

No, Alice. This is the place where dreams are made. Big, hulking, cement dreams.

Petey deserves a good sulk, mom. He has endured a lot this week.

They must have chosen that mini van with Petey in mind. The interior is completely beige.

Nice day for a sulk…

Alice, My dear, just wait ‘til you learn to read, kiddo! Then, you’ll know!

Petey, I concur.

Who needs 12 acres of lawn ornaments and gross commercial pottery?

In panel 1 I see the abstract spirit of buckethead Kevin in the back of the Otterloop’s vehicle.

Chill, Alice. Such a drama glutton.
