Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 09, 2011
Transcript:
Alice: Look! What's that? Mom: What? Oh, it's just a pile of snow. Alice: It's so big. Petey: They call it Old Mount Soot. It forms in the parking lot every year whether it snows or not. Alice: Mom, can I climb on it? Mom: No, it's dirty. Petey: On its icy, begrimed slopes dwell tiny, dirty trolls called the Sooti. They sneak down and carry off unwary bargain-hunting shoppers to their doom. Alice: Really? Petey: That's why you find abandoned shopping carts everywhere. Alice: Wow. Nature is so cool. Mom: Look! Here's a cart, and somebody's left all their coupons in it!

What do the Sooti do to those who pay full price?

I always wondered why there are so many shopping carts left in the parking lot even though the cart corral may only be a few steps away. WAY TO GO, SOOTI.

Petey’s not looking well. He looks like he’s been haunted by the Sooti trolls.

Petey and Andre can use the Sooti in their epic skit about erosion. I don’t know how, but with a villain like the Sooti, you have to!

I love reruns! I am more comfy with reruns.. I know whats going to happen so its just easier for me. I do love the sixth panel.. the Mount Doom of after Christmas shoppers.

Old Mount Soot appears in the parking lot every year whether it snows or not. This cartoon likewise no doubt appeared in this space despite RT’s best efforts. Blame it on the Sooti.

Petey is so brilliant – if only he’d use his powers for good instead of scaring his little sister …

I re-fractured my arm climbing one of those things once. Way back in my grade-school days.

Once again it pays to look at the background, and Richard’s wonderful talent of making the signs in Cul-de-Sac sing. It appears the Otterloops are going to shop at Val-U-Less.

Think that Sooti has a bit of Blue Meanie in it.

I wonder, is The Sooti related to Snooki?

So, that’s where my coupons went.

Nature is so cool, Alice, even independent of the Sooti :^)
