Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 04, 2023

Poor Alice, poor Petey too.

Poor Alice. Petey only has himself to blame.

Love Dill’s comment. Ick is the correct word.

Awwww…

Of course, Halloween! I knew I should have saved that crap for something.

If Petey had only uprighted the box on his head, he would’ve had a box full of candy and would’ve been able to share with his sister.

Next year, stitch the political pamphlets together as a costume. You’ll be both timely, and fit right in!!

Drizzle the brochures with honey, Pete, and enjoy

Who leaves political campaign literature lying around to hand out on Halloween?

Perhaps Dill will share some of his candy. I love the “D” on his shirt. Super Dill!

No gutter cleaning brochures?

I’m with Dill. IcK. Best said with a mouth full of Whoopers.

On the good side, Petey received enough rocks to make a nice coblestone walkway.

If you have to explain your costume, Petey, it’s not working.

With Petey’s scathing commentary on consumer culture and Alice’s cute pink-eared bat costumes, it’s not surprising that the night turned into Mutually Assured Mass Treat Loss!

Anyone interested in second-hand political campaign literature? No?

Bummer Halloween for the Otterloop kids….

It’s true—it was a good costume: Madeline put in some hard work and creativity, and Alice did look very cute in it. :-(
