Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 19, 2023

Cooties

Hope mom washed the dress first.

The family sitting in front of the Otterloops is considering relocating even as we watch.

More like a light-year stare.

Petey has taken himself to another place ‘where the grass is green and the water is flowing’…

if this is petey’s recital why is he sitting in the audience?

Not like Alice to be starchy about things………

Trust me….Chiggers ain’t no fun. She’ll be scratching for a week!

Is that Stewie sitting in front of them?

That’s Petey, showing a sign of PTSD before the event even happens.

Petey is either at the height of zen or on the brink of an obe. How many Petey’s will join him on stage, and will they give him a standing ovation, or gnaw his arm off?

With any luck, Alice’s antics will deflect attention away from Petey. Petey, I’d suggest imagining everyone in the audience in their underwear, but with Grandma there I wouldn’t recommend it.

Now it has that new clothes starch.

Dress coming off in 3…2…

Disaster looms! It was clearly a big mistake to bring Alice to Petey’s recital; the four-year-old should have been left to the tender mercies of a babysitter!
