Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 14, 2013

Alas, poor Petey…

Chew your seatbelt off, Petey, and step out into traffic, it may be faster.

Petey has answered Dad’s rhetorical question in his own inimitable way. Too bad traffic’s such a mess.

give him the ipad. Thats what they all do nowadays.

Grandma’s furniture… I love it! Except I actually hate the looks of those square cars. Dorky.

It’s an American tradition – the long drive to the beach on a hot, sweaty day in a car with no a/c so they kee p the windows open.

You got to get an early start to the day if you want to make it to the beach before nightfall.

How many arms did Petey have at the start of the strip? He seems to have chewed off more than the usual complement…

Only Petey…

I would never buy a car that looked like General De Gaulle’s hat.

There’s a reason there are no traffic jams between Needles and Tucumcari – there’s not much of anything between Needles and Tucumcari.

By the time they get to the beach, school will be starting and they will have to head back.

Petey was a wolf in a previous life

Needles…haha Snoopy’s brother is from Needles! I didn’t think it was real until I looked it up in an Atlas!My son gave his 6 & 3.5yr olds digital cameras for the trip we did together (separate vehicles). He said it worked. At one stop the 6 yr old (boy) was taking photos of his nose…from the bottom up! A cheap alternative to whining and DVD’s and film cameras.

I can hear it now. “I gotta go to the potty!”

and yours looks like a hippo
