Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 03, 2025

Thank goodness for Cul de Sac, an island of sanity in an uncertain world. I love Petey.

2010 was the year we supposedly made contact….

That is exactly the right sound!

2010! Let’s do it again! Maybe not?

Hmmm… 2010. A 15 year lag?

2010! Wow, just think of it…Alice would be around 20 now.

2010?? I know these are reruns but that’s ridiculous

2020 was.

The end to the holiday season can hit some harder than others.

So great!!! " Festive Airborne Parasites" !!!! Ha ha ha aha ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Alice has a very selective memory. But this event should stick with her.

Petey’s remark: “Is 2010 the year of Festive Airborne parasites?”, is one of the rare instances when the actual time frame of the comic strip is revealed. Otherwise, there are no major changes in the story line that would indicate the passage of time. The artist died nine years ago so the year that Petey referred to is the actual year in which the strip’s scenario took place.
