Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 07, 2012

Your tossing out a gen-uwine artifact!

It’s hard to argue with fossilized gum.

Keep shoving Alice, Mrs. Otterloop, and the piece of road might fall on your daughter’s foot. It MIGHT be considered child abuse to the neighbors.

Hmm. I don’t know, Madeline. No appreciation for a genuine historic artifact?!(Oh, well. Keep on shoving!)

Don’t like being shoved, Alice? Then do what your mother said….double time.

I’m surprised a pre-schooler can carry that! Super Pre-Schooler!

THIS IS THE BEST COMIC STRIP EVER!!!!! EVER!!!!! Parkinson’s disease sucks! I wish Richard could have gone for ten years or more I love this strip

Antiques Roadshow, here I come!

They’ve demolished part the Alaskan Way Viaduct, a notorious elevated freeway on the Seattle waterfront. They offered bits of concrete to the public, and I found a small piece with visible road surface.

I was going to put “Legos” or “Lego’s” above, but looked up the “official” plural, and got this:LegosOh no you didn’t! Technically, the official plural form for more than one element of LEGO is “LEGO® brand building bricks”. That’s ridiculous, though, so most LEGO fans refer to one or more bricks as “LEGO”, following the grammatical convention of “fish” and “sheep.”http://www.brothers-brick.com/lego-glossary/

Mom is no fun!!!

One man’s trash is another’s treasure.

i am so going to miss this comic.

Too bad Alice couldn’t find a chunk with a Toynbee tile. Makes a much more interesting centerpiece.

Who’d put gum on a piece of rock?

Why the rush, Mom? Do you think asphalt is contagious or something?

drop it on her foot Alice!

I can’t see why Madeline had a problem with an inert chuck of roadway as a centerpiece. After all she had no problem with that mutant flower until it attacked Petey.

Alice reminds me of Calvin from “Calvin and Hobbes” in this strip.
