Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 20, 2021

the neighborhood kids only know the fellow children and hardly any other adults

Don’t underestimate this man. His experience with trebuchet projectiles may have given him superhuman goalie skills.

Daddy Dill wears a pony tail!

I would not have expected Dill’s father to look like that.

I have a feeling that Petey’s and Andre’s team is going to take a run at perfection: just like the 2008 Detroit Lions and the 2017 Cleveland Browns did.

Wow, it’s such a great relief to finally see one of Dill’s parents. For a long time, I had the creepy feeling that he just may have been another one of his brother’s projects.

Makes sense, now, why DillBros LLC are in revolt! Milktoast DillDad is a a Participation Trophy Encouragement Advisor!

Up until Dills explanation I was thinking he was another imaginary friend. A soccer statistician, perhaps?

I wonder if Dill’s dad is named “Herb”…..

There’s a soccer coach born every minute.

Dils daddy! I would like to see his brothers.

Will capes be part of the uniform?

i didn’t know who he was either until Dill told me!

A great selling tool to recruit other nerds: Play soccer and wear a cape at the same time!

I coached youth soccer for 15 years. Mostly girls soccer. There’s a special entrance to Heaven for youth girls soccer coaches.

Dill will need a ponytail when he gets older too since his hair is not actually attached to his head.

At first glance (w/o reading) I thought we were seeing a Ernesto as an actual Adult!

WOW!

Coaches soccer and teaches his kids to build trebuchets. What a great dad!

Unusual we get another parent identified.

Ha, that’s funny. He mistook their staring competition with the soccer ball as a soccer game.

i love Dill more than ever—the eternal optimist

Introducing Dill’s daddy, Gerkin…

Lo! The Appearance of Mr. Wedekind, father to the fabulous brothers and Dill, with his ponytail! —That tells us instantly so much about him and his sons.

And Dill’s DADDY! is the soccer coach!

Oh, what a rush!

the plot thickens
