Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 02, 2013

Yes.

So is Mom.

Petey would make a good cop.

Or perhaps good ballast.

Are we really, really sure that Peter is Petey’s father?Don’t stare at me like that!

I liked Dad’s joke. Peter will probably become a child psychologist.

In the 2nd panel, I’m hearing Peter’s laugh sound like Wallace Shawn’s Vizzini from The Princess Bride.

my parents have said this – whenever I mention a runny nose – for at least the past 45 years.

“does your nose run and your feet smelll?…” one of my favorites, right up there with (upon observing someone stumble): “nice trip! see ya next fall! hey, i’m cliff – drop over some time…” ahahahahahahahahahahaha… (and yes, i’ve gotten the uncomprehending stare from my beloved daughter…)

kid tells me “I’m hungry” I reply: “Nice to meet you Hungry, I’m Jane!”“I walk on my feet too” (after someone steps on them…my doctor did that once when I was holding baby and he moved to exam him…he just cracked up over it. Another had never heard “you lie like a carpet”—I didn’t believe something he said—and chortled and said he’d have to remember that one)

Duane and Horace from “Barney & Clyde” had better hope they never meet any Otterloops other than the dad.

I’m gonna have to use that one.
