Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 11, 2013

They are destined to be together.

Dill has an uncanny knack for Vision. I believe they will end up together (if Alice doesn’t grab all his toys).

dill! gotta love ’im!

Unlikely but definitely possible. My parents-in-law met when she was 2 and he was 4 or so. They apparently didn’t hit it off at the first meeting, but worked things out when they met as young adults. :)

Cul de Sac. Best of the best. Makes my soul smile.

I think Dill is the genuine article, but young love can be fickle. When I was in kindergarten, I accumulated a boy friend. One day the showed up on my doorstep, and we played with my toy typewriter (you had to turn a wheel to get to each letter). However, when first grade started, I ran up to greet him, and he wouldn’t pay me no never mind. Learned about life early.

To those who haven’t discovered it yet, “Heavenly Nostrils” is the new soul-smiling strip.

just don’t touch my junk!

@Saskfan my husband and I met when I was about 6 and he was 5 at a Croatian festival. The next time I saw him was when he tried to run me down when I was crossing the street (I did have the right of way. If he was doing the speed limit, I would have been across before he got to me.). We were finally introduced a couple of years after that and we’ve been comfortably married for almost 32 years.

@ Waitingman – I’ve checked out “Heavenly Nostrils” and, I’m sorry, but it doesn’t even come close to replacing “Cul de Sac”.

Not much of a wife if she ain’t grabbin’ my stuff away.

I’m quite sure I’ve seen the strips over the last week or so before (or most of them anyway)…hope Richard is just away or taking a breather and nothing serious going on….

Love the love triangle – Dill has a crush on Alice, but she seems to get starry-eyes over Beni sometimes. I think she’ll come around by her senior year in high school with the looming separation of college.

Oh I LOVE THIS ONE! That last panel is PRICELESS and OH SO CUTE!

Richard, GOD SPEED that you get well, and if you decide not to resume the strip, please know that YOU HAVE GIVEN US A GIFT which will always make us laugh and ponder!
