Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 13, 2010
Transcript:
Mom: Agh! I swear! Dad: What? Mom: I bought another thing Petey hates to eat. "New! Yummy Wads! The slammin' snack that explodes your head with an extreme vitamin-packed power punch! It'll rock your mouth!" Dad: What could he have objected to? Mom: Okay. I think I know.

Did anyone read the ingredients? Probably full of space age polymers.

It is a wise father who knows his own son.

Vitamins?
gulfcoastgrl over 14 years ago
Just the mention of vitamins is what Petie doesn’t like.
cdward over 14 years ago
I’m with Petey on this one!

I like Mom’s face in the 2nd panel; I have a feeling the wads will get eaten regardless.

Does Petey pick up those habits from Dad?
rayannina over 14 years ago
The whole exploding-head part is kind of a turn-off to me too …

pinkdryad Premium Member over 14 years ago
actually, sounds kinda interesting. they could send me the box that Petey won’t eat. I’ll be the test subject for him.
Munodi over 14 years ago
Yummy Wads! Sugar, Vitamins, and Halucinogens! All Together in Little Squishy Bits! Yummy!!
Thompson’s verbal abiliites are the peculiar treat in today’s strip. The ad copy sounds ALMOst, like an actual ad.

Change it to Pixie Dust Flakes, “the flakes that are magically sprinkled with pixie dust” with me on the cover! Or is that too much sugar?

C’mon! This is Petey Otterloop we’re talking about. The “Snap, Crackle, Pop!” in a bowl of Rice Krispies is enough overstimulation to send him back to bed for a day…

YUMMY WADS!—the perfect, sugar-fortified steroid treat for growing bodies.
gillbillvolume1 over 14 years ago
Just what Alice needs .. stimulation !

I like the look of realization on the mom’s face in the 3rd panel.

Petey would be so much happier in the year 3000 when they have Bachelor Chow. Well, at least the initial version – before they add flavor.

Wrong kid, Mom.
Give it to Alice. If it doesn’t have insanely happy colors, taste and mascots, she won’t touch it, but that qualifies in all three categories.
dedemah over 10 years ago
I would eat it, then again, I have Dill’s appetite and stomach.
calvin.hobbes over 4 years ago
I actually really want those.
