Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 13, 2011

Poor dill…

I have a feeling Dill isn’t getting out anytime soon.

Grow, Dill! Grow! (Fast!)

One of these days, Alice is going to be a swing-er.

Yes, Master. I will do the March of the Black Queen.

Awww…I wanted to find out where houses come from.

If you can see Dill’s extended hands above the trench (and even his head), why can’t he grab hold of the edge and pull himself out? Well, yeah, he might have been jumping when you saw these, but again, why didn’t he grab the edge when he jumped?

witness the birth of a new expression in the english language. “underswing trench”.

it’s metaphoric usage is mind boggling. “republicans find themselves in an underswing trench over debt recovery”

“my life has become an underswing trench of lockstep drudgery”

wow

thanks richard

She’s being meaner than usual today -come-on, Alice, get down and help Dill out of the trench – THEN tell him to go get a taller kid.

Fetch the poor child a trench coat.

Thanks to Corey Pandolph over at “Elderberries” for the cross-over recognition. Made both strips even more fun if that is even possible

That’s Alice! Always thinking of others.

Where’s Andre when we need him???
