Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 28, 2010

Petey, you’re the best!!

ohhh ahhh - SNORT!! Never read cul de sac when drinking a soda… Wonderful Richard - just wonderful.

I second that!

LMBO!

The look on her face, that’s just hilarious!! (& I’ve learn to swallow my coffee before I visited some strips, just in case.)

Mine was sitting on the table, thankfully….LOLOL!

The Alice’s reaction panel should be considered a masterpiece

I wonder what DOC T’s brew through the nose would feel like?

Petey IS a werewolf!

Werewolf?

There wolf! There castle.

Snort, giggle! I had forgotton about the werewolf thing…Alice may really be worried about her toys now. It’s a good thing Alix doesn’t make noises like that in her sleep;-)

Verewolf!

Petey’s playing her like a fish on a line.

Worst snort ever: Taco Bell hot sauce. Will mess up your sinuses for a week.

Let’s see her try to go back to sleep now.

Is anyone surprised that Ernesto was right?

ROFLOL!

Perfect, Richard….perfect.

Keep that up and you can say…

Alice doesn’t live here anymore.

Absolutely priceless, this one!

We’re not worthy… we’re not worthy…

PERFECT !

watercolors?

Was Ernesto right, or is Petey just messing with Alice?

Well, Ernesto has a food allergy that manifests as a mild lycanthropy himself, so maybe he would know…

In an old Mr. Monster story, there was a reluctant werewolf who came to Dr. Stearn looking for a cure. There was no way of reversing his lycanthropic transformations, though, but our hero solved the dilemma (as a werewolf, Mr. Monster would have been obligated to destroy him, otherwise) by hypnotically inducing narcolepsy, to be triggered by any sight of the full moon.

that’s too awesome!! i totally should not have been eating a bite of Lucky Charms when reading this! hilarious!

EPIC WIN

By the way folks, according to my calendar, there is a full moon tonight.

I still don’t believe in Ernesto being real.

Just had a flash of inspiration - “An American Werewolf in Slumberland.” Nemo finally makes it to King Morpheus’ castle, but the moon is full that night. He’s hairy all over, and he proceeds to eviscerate Flip, Dr. Pill, and the Candy Kid with his claws and slavering fangs. Nemo’s mother, in the last panel: “Nemo, you were making such a fitful disturbance last night! And why are you covered in blood?”

I may have to draw that up…

Richard - I agree wholeheartedly with all the great compliments written here - this is way above being merely “funny”.

Way to go Petey. And that wasn’t even a setup!

I’m always in constant awe of Richard Thompson’s art and writing. Especially his beautiful watercoloring which is a rarity these days. Today’s strip is exceptional in it’s execution and timing. I hope he receives this year’s Reuben award!

I hope he makes millions and millions of dollars (in syndication fees and book royalties; I have no need to see a full-length computer-generated “Cul de Sac” feature film in Tru-3D with songs by Phil Collins, collectable cups available at participating Burger King restaurants).

I hope “Richard Thompson” becomes a household word, like “laundry” or “oatmeal.”

Way to go, Petey! And poor Alice, that look on her face is amazingly startled…. Great job RT!

Thanks very much, I’m glad youall liked this one. Especially as I’d worried that there wasn’t much to it (I know nothing). The color is done by color genius Brian Whitmer, who can make process color look like watercolor.

Best,

Laundry Oatmeal

Mondays are one of my favorite days because I get to catch up on my comics…Cul de Sac is my favorite by far. Richard Thompson (aka Laundry Oatmeal) is a genius!!!

Actually…..the coloring was done by my protege, Ms. Melissa Mallory….Great job, Melissa! She also colors the daily Cul de Sac comics. Huzzah!

P.I.M.P. !!

Like I said, I know nothing. Thanks, Melissa! Take a bow!

Thank you, Richard!

bows

LOVE THT FACE……………..s face…..LOL…LMAO

I guess he’s just howling in his sleep!

It appears to be a very mild case of lycanthropy.
