Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 31, 2016

oh, the horror

Now he will draw a strip about someone’s backside obstructing his view.

That wasn’t solo bad except for having to sit with big people when your in that little chair!

See that, Petey? Sometimes things work out for the best.

A hint of a smile.

A happy twist!

I’m sure Alice appreciates it, Petey.

What more can you ask for.

I think it’s cool that Petey writes his dialogue in cursive. It is becoming a lost art in today’s youths.

But you still have to hear preschoolers not projecting dialog in a play, excepting Alice.

Good job, Petey! You made me laugh…..well, not laugh exactly…..but you did make me smile.

I wonder if those are Andre’s parents to Petey’s right/left?

In these types of situations, is there ever a chair WITHOUT an obstructed view? But hey. Go Petey.

Petey’s running commentary/graphic novelization of the playgoing experience is terrific! And, from his rendering of Mom Madeline (panel 2), we can deduce from which side of the family Alice got her noticeable nose. But Petey is too fixated on not seeing the play. Who knows; he might even enjoy it, if only he’d allow himself to….

Sometimes life hands you the lemonade, Petey …
