Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 11, 2012

Giant swam of gnats,; I’ve been there!

I fear Slipshod I has become that giant swarm of gnats.

How long can Slipshod II survive a sustained onslaught from both within and without? Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate!

I can see giving up baseball because of gnats, but hockey?

A balcony with a view of the gnats; love it!

What was the fate of Slipshod I????

Rule #1: “Don’t flush at High Tide”.

It’s all downhill from there.

I’m sure Paco means field hockey.

Have fun Otterloops!

here in Canada we use our outdoor rinks, which are concrete and play ball hockey. Or we play in an unused parking lot and set up nets and play on! With beers of course!

Gonna be a LOONNGGG vacation! ;-D

I’m finishing up When You Look Like Your Passport Photo, It’s Time to Go Home by Erma Bombeck. It covers a lot of situations like the Otterloops’, with slight exaggeration. It’s good for a few grins and chuckles. Out of print, but you can find it if you dig around. A friend just sent mine.

. . . Just got to the last page. Like to died. (Trans: It was funny.)

Definitely Petey. Don’t move at all.

Yes! Let’s go Alice!

Just Beautiful Richard Thompson.

Erma Bombeck, gee she was good!

Just got home from the beach. No gnats.

Im surprise Alice didnt look for the lamp with the shells right away. It wouldve been funny if Pete saw the nats

Beautiful artwork. The world misses you Mr Thompson
