Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 14, 2012

Dill lives with uproar on a constant basis.

What do expect with those brothers of his?

In like a trebuchet, out like a slingshot…

In the first panel, you have a broom-head, a mop-head and a bucket-head.

Dill has a home with serious ATTITUDE and a little duckie pull-toy. He is, I fear, well on his way to becoming a Troubled Teen…. Maybe Alice can save him.

I will never be able to think of the Oz flying monkeys without thinking of the “Simpsons” episode in which the monkeys are shown marching and chanting, “All we own, we owe”.

I want to live at Dills house.

A lamb can be good… if prepared right

I love Alice’s expression in the third panel! Alice just perfectly captured.

But Alice, lambs are already really good… especially roasted!

Why didn’t anyone make a sequel (or prequel) featuring the Flying Monkeys? Lotsa strange potential there.

Ma—a-a-a-a-a-n, when I was a kid I thought those monkeys were real……not sure which I hated most, the witch or the monkeys!!

This reads like a classic “Miss Peach”. Love it.

I love this comic!!!

Beware the marmosets of March…

Isn’t Sam Raini making a prequel to “The Wizard of OZ”?

(Oddly enough, the flying monkeys NEVER appeared in ANY of the 40 or so official OZ sequels by Frank Baum, Ruth Plumly Thompson or the others.)

howz about a nice wombat, yeah…wombat, that’s the ticket, yeah.

Dill has a bit of big Nate in his drawing

Annnd, cue the music from the flying monkey scene …

“Do, do-do, do-do, do … Do, do-do, do-do, do … Do, do-do, do-do, do, doooo!”

No! Stop the monkeys! Stop the monkeys!
