Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 10, 2009

‘Liolalia’? Petey is no longer suffering from Liolalia today.

“The Fantods” is a really gorey condition. Liolalia is a compulsion to babble endlessly about a Mark Tatulli comic strip.

I googled ‘liolalia,’ just for kicks. It led me … here.

This here’s the source alrighty.

I couldn’t find Drooly’s Syndrome. It sounds real enough…

saying in the tub too long? typical petey

haha.. decompression sickness. sad

Viola and Petey managing a real conversation! that’s a first for them. :)

…and I “could” be Teddy Rooozeevelt… but I ain’t

I suffer from Liolalia and I can assure you it is not something you jest about. I used to like Richard Thompson’s “comic” until today’s harmful and thoughtless “joke.” I think it should immediately be dropped by every newspaper and be replaced by COW AND BOY.

I can vouch for the King’s evil. And the queen’s not exactly a jolly woman, either.

Viola looks as if she has an ill or slightly inebriated pig strapped to her back instead of a backpack. Swine flu carrier perhaps?

The fantods can only be cured by putting them under a glass bell, but why on earth would anyone put a fantod under a glass bell?

And speaking of “firsts”, one GoComics author (mtatulli) commenting on another author’s strip? Synergy!

no way is this the first time … and that’s what’s awesome :)

Yes, Petey, haven’t we all!
