Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 12, 2025

That’s nice, they made TV more fun.

Did that TV remove the fake tan, and undo the comb-over? I want one!

This is a cute one. Made me chuckle.

you don’t often get to see petey laughing

Moms are always the sense of reason

Hey whatever works…..LOL

I’m gonna hafta try that.

I have a button that can go back, but I don’t think it makes it go backwards. I want one of those. Especially if they talk backwards.

Probably how most folks learn how to use gadgets these days. Well, me, at least.

Who knew that the accident was more fun then the show they were watching. :D

I’m dying to know what the TV did in panel six…

Punch it, Dad! (Love it.)

Dad’s butt surfing. Wasn’t that a band?

notice all 3 of the viewers eyes never leave the flickering images…

How does Alice know that’s Martian?

Mom is often the hero, but here she’s almost the villain in squashing the fun (unintentionally.)

I don’t think that remote is long for this world. Now the kids will be constantly sitting on it.

This is one time Petey wants more instead of less. He must be feeling his oats today.

Another beautiful family moment. Thanks Richard!

Alice’s mom is a party pooper.

And the cartoon family discovers TIVO.

Takes a bit of imagination to figure out this situation, to what degree are a VHS VCR, DVD player, Tivo®, foreign language channels and various TV functions play into this.

That can’t be Comcast I change channels and it sits there showing three dots for awhile. I hit reverse to go back an hour and tries to move ahead three hours, then slowly moves back to where it started. Once it gets back to where it started it hangs up a bit in places till it gets back an hour by now 5 minutes of programming is lost.

Some children are so easily amused.

Panel 6: Petey Sr. accidentally unscrambled one of those channels.
