Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 28, 2014

Dunno about “vision,” but Alice certainly has imagination. —And her own enforcer, Dill.

Yeah, Dill, go! Petey deserves it. ;-)

There are those of us who are blinded by reality, Alice.

Love those kids, for a flash there, I was a kid again.

Keep dancing Alice, and be the Queen of the sewer lid. When I was a kid, putting my Boston Bruins hockey shirt made me equal to Bobby Orr. Alice, enjoy it while it lasts. And Dill’s face and reaction in the last panel? Priceless. My favourite cartoon character, bare none.

Dill loves Alice!

Great art always provokes violence.

Man, I want Dill to be my friend.

I remember playing on the little swing set in the back yard. I would shimmy across the top bar, then make my way back to the starting point at the slide, swing by swing, without touching the ground. In my mind, I was crossing the Himalayas over a river of lava, or something like that. Yep, like Puddlesplatt said, Cul de Sac really takes you back there.

Note that Alice is dancing to the tuneful stylings of an angelic Timmy Fretwork…
