Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 23, 2024

Wisconsin and Minnesota are getting a refill.

It’s a wonder of the world.

Glad not a shade of yellow.

It’s so easy to imagine those two grown up, long time married, and revisiting the tube slide, reminiscing…

Great for the shoes, too.

And fills the reservoirs of their imaginations.

David Attenborough would be proud.

And they’re standing in it!

Me thinks the homeless folk found shelter and the yellow snow melteth.

If you watch carefully, you may spot a few carrots from the snowmen who just went down the chutes! ☺️

The tops of Alice’s shoes are visible in the first panel but covered by the the third. Nice detail from Richard.

And now, it’s a Water Slide! ☺

Reminds me of Witchita Falls, Texas. They used to have an actual falls in the Wichita River, but a flood destroyed it.

A hundred years later the city built an artifical falls beside the river. The water that ‘falls’ over the falls is pumped back up to the top and ‘falls’ again, over and over.

I know this because I’ve been there to do the ‘Hotter than Hell Hundred’ bicycle ride. Over 10,000 bicyclists in (I think) 2017 when I last did it.

This is the first time I have noticed that Petey and Dill both share a love of waxing poetic and the wonders and mundanes of their world. Two kind after my own heart <3

Would’ve loved to have that monstrous of a play structure when I was a kid!

Time to take off your shoes and socks and enjoy it, kids!
