Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 31, 2021

Kids’ little attention spans are wonderful, aren’t they?

It is fun to play in the dirt.

I see disaster looming.

In panel 2, did Moose’s eyes take on a frightened look when Petey ok’d Alice’s request?

About to be a family heir loam

There, mom and your sister are both happy. For now.

I see disaster looming. Was grandma awarded this moose in connection with winning a ‘Moose Milking Contest’? (See Old Piranha Club comics…thanks Bud Grace!)

Note that Petey is gnawing his pencil. That is only one step til he starts gnawing his arm.

Moose on the Loose!

I’m projecting here but might she accidentally break it open and discover a key and a treasure map?

Wait a minute. Why would Mrs Otterloop “think” that the moose is a family heirloom? Surely she would know, one way or the other.

Now Alice will have an audience for her man hole cover dancing.

The concentrating cartoonist, deep in his work.

Well at least someone appreciates the moose.
