Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 11, 2023

Don’t be so Katy

“Every” girl wants a pony. Unicorn’s been done.

Don’t give Alice a pet. She’s kill it in a week.

How about a pet rock, instead?

alice, honey, let’s see if you clean up pellets first before you start on mountains.

She can tie it to the big concrete fountain.

ZEBRA! Awwww. ❤️

Like mom says, when you’re older! ☺️☺️

Her legs always grow a foot when she sits like that.

If you have big breasts, you can get a Z bra.

Cue the Christmas song (melody only): I want a Zebra for Christmas…..

Get a honey badger, he can chew Petie’s arm off.

We couldn’t find any zebras without a striped past, so here’s a pangolin instead

How many years does that kid go to pre-school?

Yeah, a zebra would be cool, Alice. You could ride it to school, and let everyone pet it. Well, everyone except ole Buckethead.

You can just feel mom’s pain and anxiety, in panel three. I’m surprised she doesn’t have more gray hairs already.

Start with a pet rock. If she doesn’t kill that, advance to a pet stick.

Dial it back about ten notches, Alice. Your Sympathy Act only works to point, and that point is reached long, long before “zebra”!
