Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 17, 2024

I wonder if the company that makes Blammo also makes Calvin’s cerial, Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs?

Like ‘What Happened to George,’ except that little pig ate too many donuts.

New meaning to a killer cereal.

Also, I am reminded of being a child and trying to read the story of the Huckabuck family. There was Jonas Jonas Huckabuck; Momma Momma Huckabuck; and Pony Pony Huckabuck who had a popcorn farm. Then one night, there was a fire… Imagining that event created such a trauma in me, I could read no further.

3 bowls and……….BLAMMO !!!

That’s why I love this strip-Alice is a preschooler, and her dialogue in panel 2 certainly contradicts that. I think she’s auditioning for the intermediary.

Thanks for the backstory, Alice.

Sorry, Alice, but i believe cereals must have a mascot to be truly great. One with a case of undiagnosed obsessive-compulsive personality disorder verging on sheer mania.

It’s a shame what happened to Blammy K. Blammo. Reminds me of the tragic death of Mikey from Life cereal. Mikey was the subject of an urban legend that purported that he had died after consuming Pop Rocks and Coke, supposedly causing a fatal stomach rupture. In fact, the actor who played Mikey, John Gilchrist, is still alive.

Alice knows to only eat two bowls in quick succession. Petey prefers shredded wheat.

As they say over on Rip Haywire, “KA-Blammo!”

Academic Alice is going as Das Ding An Sich.
