Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 21, 2022

Such a little shrub yet so much history…Nixon?

Time Capsule shrub

I am not a crook!

Ah Richard – Thank you!!

It means they used paper that wasn’t recyclable back then.

That stuff works better than miracle-gro for shrubs; look how green!

If that bush could sigh a sigh of relief, it would…..

Nixon was kind of an embryonic Donald Trump, Petey.

Life is a maintenance headache, for sure.

It’s a time capsule bush.

How many kids would recognize a catchers mitt these days?

It meant that he, in his dishonesty and lack of character, still was more of an adult than a certain soul-blind orange thief and tax evader who was voted out of office after one term.

A cartoon without Alice?

WHAT! Nixon resigned!! Why didn’t someone tell me?

Charlie Brown: “Did you maybe find a kite in there?”

Little Bo-Peep: “Any sheep?”

“We are poor little lambs who have lost our way… Seen anybody around here named Peep?”

I have a copy of the Denver Rocky Mountain News with the Nixon Resigns headline

It’s in pretty good condition, I do have to wonder what it’s worth

Who would have thought that Nixon’s legacy would be so intertwined with Bush?

Next thing he finds will be the dead shrub scrolls.

Wow. That bush is hiding more stuff than the back seat of a soccer moms mini-van! Don’t tell Dill or he may use it as a source of mail slot stuffing.

I’d like to see them continue pulling stuff out of the shrub until at last the shrub itself disappears.

Busted, Dad! Mr. Peter Otterloop has not been cleaning out that lonely bush annually, and for many years at that!

Petey won’t rat him out to Mom, though. It’s a father and son bonding thing….

Don’t let the HMO hear about this.

Was at an evening solstice party outside a house that was draped with colored lights, as was all the shrubbery for what looked like 1000 yards. Several small trees also adorned with jewel-like colors while stars shone above, all extra bright on the dark backdrop.
