Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 29, 2014
Transcript:
Alice: Timmy Fretwork the Banjo Man helped out at Blisshaven today! Mom: What did he do? Alice: He painted a scary mural, got his truck stuck in the sand box, glued the supply closet door shut, fixed a window so it doesn't have all the glass in it and knocked something big and heavy off the roof. Mom: He did all tha- WHAT IS THIS? Alice: It's the sinkhole! Sinkholes form when Timmy Fretwork fixes the drinking fountain.

The email for this was a single horribly distorted and sheared Doonesbury panel. Very Dada, guys.

@OldtakuSame for me, maybe Timmy Fretwork fixed it!

So the Doonesbury panel ISN’T today’s strip? ‘Cause I was gonna say- I don’t get it.

Banjo man does not equal handy man.

It’s 9:45 in Baltimore, and the strip is fine. I’m glad to see my ex got a job.

Timmy needs to stick with banjo playing before he fixes* the world.
*in this instance, fixes means destroys.

Darn. I thought I would finally get my monies worth on those LSD trips back in the day.
David Rickard Premium Member about 10 years ago
Why do I have a horrible suspicion that Timmy Fretwork moved to LA and joined the Department of Water and Power?

Maybe they just wanted to up the number of comments for today???

Timmy clearly needs to stick to his banjo (and Miss Bliss). He is in any other context a dire menace! I love how Alice explains that he “fixed” a window (panel 2).

Timmy Fretwork strikes again! (I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to see it, It wasn’t there last nite)

I’m commenting very late here, but haven’t noticed anyone’smentioning that obviously Timmy Fretwork tried his hand at running today’s “Cul de Sac” for gocomics.com.

The Doonesbury strip made me think I was reading Non Sequitur…
