Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 18, 2024

Alice’s mom seems really sad about this. Hope she gets a gila monster soon.

I think that’s for the traditional 15th anniversary gift.

Stop making trouble for your dad, Alice.

She probably would prefer the burger.

I’ll bet dad will hear about this. Knowing him he’ll whip out his yanger and say, “hear that gila monster?”

Does mom REAllY want one?

So cute! ☺️❤️

He ate a burger.???

Huh. I guess I underestimated Petey. I didn’t think he would put that much thought into his gifts.

When dad comes home tonight and Alice is jumping up and down and telling him that he owes his wife a Gila Monster, he’s going to be very confused.

Mom looks even more worried about Petey than usual.

Wait a minute… Stuffed Gila Monster? That conjures up interesting images… ㋛

Mom was deeply disappointed with the Beaded Lizard that dad had given her instead.

Christmas is coming, drop a few hints for Peter Sr

The girls always shrieked when I tried to give them lizards. I hope this works out better for Petey.

That sounds like a fun Christmas present for someone who enjoys things like that.
