Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 06, 2009

Mom has stolen Alice’s thunder. Go Mom!

“Don’t ever do that again” How many parents have heard that? Lord knows I’ve said that enough - even now…

Now that was scary Alice!

As a parent I will defend to the death my prerogative to embarrass my children. Honestly, sometimes I’m surprised at their surprise at my bouts of immaturity and whimsy.

Do you love me…now that I can dance?

hmm. I guess not.

It is not only my joy but my duty to embarrass my teenage children! I’ll think of a rationale later.

She’s with someone else. I do not know this person.

My kids and I love to talk about the numerous times that I “embarrassed” them in public. What once was misery is now a hoot. :-)

i love this cartoon!

Betcha mom has some old GoGo boots stored in the attic.

GoGo boots? There’s one I haven’t heard in ages.

I can’t wait for the sequel with Alice’s dad playing the harmonica as her mom dances…. maybe Petey could be persuaded to add an oboe part .. then again probably not.

And yep, embarrassing your kids is a time honored tradition – except for now it’s the grandkids I’ll be embarrassing!

This is totally what my my mom would’ve done…same song too. Love it.

I love the way Alice is red with embarrassment in the third panel. Great stuff as usual…

Good one grazer !

you have to give them something to talk to their doctors in later years !

Alice’s mom is way too cool.

My mom talks baby talk to my dog. She says weird stuff like “Oozeecooziecuddlykeediecootiebootiecuddeeeeeee”.
