Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 08, 2023

Petey was one of those ancient Blisshaven dwellers.

I love these kids.

Gnah is a very old fashioned greeting it’s very informal

That goes a long way to explaining the adult dialogue in Peanuts specials.

Ah, yes, the pre-Alicians…

Urban archeologists.

I can hear that petrified recording!

That’s ok, Alice. To Charlie Brown and his friends, the adults sound like a muted trumpet.

Sounds like Petey gnawing off his arm.

like the toys in a dentist office.

Those were your grandparents’ new toys.

They should have a fundraiser to buy new toys

A virtual treasure trove for archaeologists. I wonder what they would make of the Jack-in-the-Box clown in the ceiling, and isn’t there a spider stain or something in the bathroom sink; remnants of an ancient cuneiform language, perhaps.

To a child that age, anything before the year they were born is an Ancient Civilization.

Beni shows signs of a possible aptitude for archaeology! He provides plausible contextualization for Alice’s complaints….
