Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 28, 2024

Amazing. Just amazing.

Alice seems to be the one who thought up her own costume and/or didn’t repeat herself.

Kevin LOL

Poor Dill at the mercy of his brothers again. One day he’ll be in therapy.

I bet Thompson went nuts waiting for Hallowe’en so he could use that “no-brainer” line.

Just how old ARE Dill’s brothers? And how many does he have?

Yours is the best, Dill. Nothing generic halloween about it.

“La commedia e finita!”

“Pagliacci”, Ruggiero Leoncavallo

Dill made me laugh, and Alice is definitely “different”!

So what’s the big dill? They’ve collared him.

Second guy from the right could try singing, instead of “La Donna e Mobile…”, “Tuvok, I understand, you are a Vulcan man! You’ve been far too long without, it’s been seven years about! Hormones are raging, synapses blazing, it’s all so very… illogical!” Then he could be the Doctor from “Voyager” instead of Rigoletto.

I like “Knowitallia”. Think I’ll change my name.

Glad no one was a proctologist!

For Dill, the cone is appropriate. But is the witch going to eat the cereal, or the kid ?

Poor Nara. If “every single Halloween of my life” includes infancy, then Princess Fairyqueen must be her mother’s favorite rather than her own. She’s as much a prisoner of a parent’s expectations as Marcus and Kevin.

One more reason to love Madeline; she’ll go the extra mile to indulge Alice’s exuberant imagination.

Stove-pipe hat on a bucket-head kid.

Love Miss Bliss with her hair down…

“Who is that in a lump over there in the corner?”

“Oh, that’s The Banjo Man, we tied him down…”

Yikes — Miss Bliss has long hair!

Ah yes, Lincoln’s first chapeau, the little known “smokestack hat.” Lincoln quickly switched to a stovepipe hat for practicality, and because he was constantly being forced downwind.

Ain’t that just like a parent to not let their kids make their own choices?

Good thing no one came as a cactus. They’d have to leave early.

Kevin Buckethead has the right head shape to securely wear a top hat like that.

Well you have to go with what you know…

I thought Dill’s brother invented the cat-a-pult.

It would be awesome if the Opera kid sang Nessun dorma like Luciano Pavarotti. I’ve been seeing a lot of memes with Pavarotti belting out the last part after a video of some guy who whacked his privates like the dude whose son did a baseball bee line for his… Nessun dorma lol

Ah hahahaha! So good, Richard!

I hope thry don’t put any candy ir beverage down Dill’s cone. He could suffocate to death!!

Awesome candy funnel, Dill! You’re gonna win Halloween!

Beni gets the pun! At four years old! And Dill takes the cake! LMAO

Dude, I laughed my freakin’ head off at Dill….HAA!!

Oh, Richard! Hiding the best dad joke in the middle!
