Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 01, 2023

It’s nice to take a break from P. J. Pieholes.

Boysenberry makes me think of Knott’s Berry farm and IHOP which does have a boysenberry syrup along with the more standard types. Anyhow, if Mom is not driving perhaps she can knock back a couple of those margaritas as she is on holiday!

I was lunching with some dear friends just a couple days ago and the whole table of us had the restaurant’s late-summer special cocktail — the Boysenberry Margarita! Agreed, Mom. They are slurkalicious.

Flapjacks and margaritas. Yum.

Dad took us to the International House of Pancakes for my seventh birthday. My sister and I were both wearing boysenberry syrup by the time we were done. I love this strip.

How to wear syrup makeup.

All in all, a good time was had by all! Now dig in!

It looks like Alice is wearing the syrup. Sticky, sticky, sticky…

It was only one favorite and one other thing she liked.

I like how Alice is wearing so much syrup. :D

“Sticky Alice” is just another reason she and Dill were made for each other… ☺

I’m also gonna go with “all this syrup!”

A sneaky Rip Haywire crossover. He is in the next booth behind Mom in panel one.

“All this syrup” all over her face in two seconds cracked me up

Yeah, Mom; no two-fers! But Alice has done a fair job of painting her face (and more) with that syrup; is it also boysenberry, like Madeline’s margarita (which may be responsible for her volubility)?

Daddy Peter and Petey have more modest likes, Petey’s driven by his attraction to the weird or offbeat….

Ooo! Where can I get a boysenberry margarita?!?!?!
