Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 17, 2012

Now I’m freaked out, too! Love Petey’s eyes in the last panel.

The look on Petey’s face when Dad mentions mimes: PRICELESS.

Totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mimes, the silent terror.

Mimes are a terrible thing to waste. I’m glad dad didn’t send in the clowns though.

Nice work, Lincoln

So to Petey & Alice, mimes are grosser than cockroaches & zombies? Odd.

And clowns?

Zombies, and morlocks, and mimes! Oh, my!Relax, Petey. Repeat after me: it’s only a diorama!

He had to take it there. That is worse then clowns.

Vey artistic, Petey.

okay – am going on record to admit that I LIKE mimes.

Keith Richards….don’t forget Keith Richards.

And puppets. And dolls.

Creepy….. mimes.

THANK YOU LINCOLN! Now I won’t have to spend my nights awake wondering what Petey might have put in there!

Yes, mimes are the worst! All but Red Skelton.

But then, a comic genuis doesn’t qualify as a disturbing mime!

Now that’s TOO scary! Knock it off, Dad!

MIMES!!!!!!

The Mimes got him.

Not to quibble, but I don’t think Alice would say “apocalyptic.” She might say “apoppaclyptic.” (Remember “stactic elastricity” [sp. ?]?) However, this would indeed overload the comic with a not-so-funny joke. Errrngh – trying to resist tacky-grandma urge: Our five-year-old said, “Hey, Mom, a boxywapper can fly!”Mom:“Ve-lo-ci-rap-tor.” 5-yr.-old:“I said that!”

Perfectly good apocalypse: RUINED.

lincoln peirce!?

Mimes?
