Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 29, 2022

Yes,Alice is the loudest and most persistent talker of the bunch. So much for deference.

Everyone has a stick now, the stick has been rendered meaningless.

Once again, Miss Bliss REALLY dosen’t get her audience… which i’ve come to accept as hilarious instead of raving about as that was dumb. IT’s also a refreshing change from the strict displanarian type that was the default for comic strips for too long. I’m not saying don’t do that, some teachers.. aren’t great, but it’s funner to have a variety pack.

OK Kevin, where’s your stick!? What’s it made out of and describe its function(s)!?

As Teddy Roosevelt so famously advised, “Speak loudly and carry a glittered and beribboned stick.”

I bet Dill’s is the stickiest.

The proletariat have seized the means of communication! It seems like this class understands the purpose of the Talking Stick just fine.

it seems that not all issues are resolved yet… The requested service is temporarily unavailable. It is either overloaded or under maintenance. Please try later.

The Tragedy of the Commons

Miss Bliss has never been on social media. Also, kindergarteners aren’t going to know any of those words…

Add some electronics to that stick and listen to the lesson.

Oh so this is how twitter got started

Oh yes, they get it …

This situation is going to be tough to get unstuck ;)

Sometimes you gotta stick it to the man

Miss Bliss: “Sigh, I never used to be a drinking woman…” ☺

Love these adorable kids!

Alice: “… and a nail which I drove through it with the point sticking out on the other side!”

Speak loudly and carry a big talking stick.

Isn’t this how that movie 2001 started?

Alice looks like a little conductor, there. Her next number will be her conducting herself in the worlds loudest one woman band.

They’ll all be talking and nobody will be listening.

I wonder what the talking sticks have to say about that.

Back when I was in kindergarten I wouldn’t have understood a word she said. We weren’t as advanced in the 50s like kids are now.

Don’t know for sure about her Talking Stick, but Alice is without a doubt the loudest of the Blisshaven preschoolers!

And it seems they all still don’t get it, Miss Bliss!
