Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 05, 2011

You have to work real hard to get it back once you lose it.

Based on the third panel, it appears Alice has picked up one of Rat’s bad habits (remember her guest appearance in “Pearls” a few weeks back?)

Stupid sense of wonder. Kind of like the appendix – you never miss it when it’s gone.

I’ll have to try that trick. Thanks Alice!

What a difference between Alice-3 and Alice-4! That’s what a “childlike sense of wonder” is!

heartwarming

I don’t know looks like Alice my need anger management when she gets older.

Once you lose your childlike sense of wonder you never get it back – or so I thought,

OK, doe eyes on her are downright CREEPY!

Alice has a very fierce sense of wonder.

I see a future as a Hallmark movie screen writer.

Yes, that certainly was heartwarming. Gave me heartburn, anyway.

you’ve all got it in abundance!

Based on panel 4, I’d like to see one of them Team Cul De Sac artist challenge guys do Alice on black velvet.And yes, based on #3, Alice hung with Rat a bit too much.Another Cul de Sac that I’m thankful I did not have any fluids in my mouth while reading…

“As long as children are gay, innocent and heartless.”— J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Kind of reminds me of that Ray Bradbury quote (from Fahrenheit 451?)“Stuff your eyes with wonder . . . live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.”

You’ll know when you lose it when you’re adults.

usually about the 4th or 5th Heinekin

I;m 55band still wonder about things.

I tried this to get back my virginity but it doesn’t seem to have worked…

Hey Vegeta, what’s her power level?It’s over 9000!!!!

I hope Alice’s parents didn’t hear her talk like that…

a childlike sense of wonder is asking what a childlike sense of wonder is.
