Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 28, 2012

Oh, it was named after you for sure!

Has Alice Waterloop ever been time-travelling? Oh, that would cause such beautiful mayhem!

You can’t make this stuff up, Alice.

My sister was a beast too.

I’d like to see Alice and Calvin travelling in Calvin’s time machine and visiting the dinosaur period!

Petey, Alice is too young to be drenched in your cynicism. Look at her joie de vivre for the eponymous Alicesaurus (whichever came first)!

That’s nice, if you like allosaurus.

I think Alice would take even less of Calvin’s guff than Susie does.

Evolution in all it’s glory.

In the old Saturday morning TV show, “Land of the Lost” one of the dinosaurs was called “Big Alice.”

Miss Bliss is not going to like the possibilities that just opened up.

This is shaping up to be a good week for Alice. Not only did she not get a plastic whistle, but she got a dinosaur that shares her name! Whoah is right.

@JohnnyDiegoDon’t look (up) now. Do some homework; start with “pterosaur.”

Man, Richard is on top of his game. Showing the reason he’s the winner of the Rueben.

Speaking of the allosaurus, when I was in top fantasy form at the age off 10-11, my most vivid fantasy, “The Ruby of the Pearl of the Orient” had an inarticulate brute creature which would help out the hero. This brute had silvery skin like a big shark, massive front legs and elevated shoulders, teeth like a sabre-tooth tiger that were rebractable, and a digestive system consisting of a series of bony discs turning in opposite directions. He could eat ANYTHING, except that an atom bomb laid him low for a few weeks. He was called an allverine (ALL-ver-een).

In the comment above, I meant “retractable” (gads). While I’m at it, “bony discs rotating” would be better than “bony discs turning.”

I agree with Petey. Also, has anyone ever seen the cul de sac animations on youtube?

Doesn’t really have anything to do with this strip, but could you imagine what would happen during a Cul de Sac and Wallace the Brave crossover?
