Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 29, 2023

Alice never forgot about Adult Swim.

I love this strips sound effects. Plut…. hahahaha

Alice you’re so mean to Petey!

Alice seems to have done some math.

Geez! She even made me jump.

Adult swimming period ought to be first, before the water gets fouled.

Petey: Watch out for the rare peanut-butter and jelly fish!

All filled with dread

Hat leaves his head

“Adult Swim!” turned the tide.

Mom gives a cheer

Alice stokes fear

Petey now runs to hide.

Beware the wrath of Alice!

She should have yelled, “SHARK!!”

Petey did it! He stepped into the Ocean, and was about to feel good about himself….

—Until his wicked little sister sneaked up behind him and SHOUTED out “adult swim,” startling the bejeezus out of poor Petey! And she’s so darned smugly satisfied with what she’s done! Madeline’s stern reprimand should be backed up with some more memorable punishment!

Interesting how both mother and daughter are up to their knees in the water. Sand dune?

I wish we could just freeze the 2nd frame for a while, and treasure the precious moment before it went south.
