Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 09, 2013

Such a pickle he’s gotten into.

Rip cord? More like a rip off. Does Peter Otterloop, Jr. really not want to drop out of high school later in his years?

Search the Landing Zone! Those precious papers escaped when Petey’s fantasy became too crushingly real!

He was sure to leave a paper trail…

Coloring triangles is a very arduous task for Alice.

If Petey keeps this up he won’t have to drop out of High School, he’ll flunk out!

Petey pulling a Calvin? What did you do with our writer?

I saw a kid who looked so much like Petey the other day I was tempted to try and grab a phone photo, but all it would have shown was that Thompson knows his stuff. I knew that.

Alone above the sky so blueYoung Petey flapped his arms and flew

Propelled by ringing loud and farHe passed some bikes and then a car!

But as his touchdown fast approachedAnd gravity so cruel encroached

His homework from his back was tornAnd then he crashed upon the lawn

I wanna be able to do that.

This is my favorite strip. Best wishes for your health, Richard Thompson and good luck.

I would have LOVED to color triangles. I only had squares to color. But I enjoyed them, too.

The strip is wonderful and the comments great fun!

I’ve had a very small sample of Aspies to observe, but they did not cotton to homework. That was to be done at the very last minute, or not at all.

@pumaman,

Impressive my friend. Good job!
