Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 13, 2012

NOT nice

Great dream, Petey. I think you should eat more fish sticks!

Imagine if he ate the whole fish stick.

Petey is on the downward spiral to seashore sickness! Not even Alice can brighten his dismal day.

I love fish. Shrimp is the only seafood I’ll eat.

Must we now hear about everybody’s favorite seafood or fish?

Fish sticks are to fish as chicken nuggets are to chicken.

Fish have sticks?

Fish are friends, not food!  Bah, who am I kidding? I would eat any living creature. Except fellow humans (and that’s ‘cause it’s illegal).

I keep pet fish sticks in my kitchen

Suggestion for Petey with his next Fish Stick: cover it in Ketchup, Tartar Sauce, Malt Vinegar or thin slices of Prime Rib.

I sympathize with Petey. I couldn’t stand seafood when I was a kid. Love it now.

I like the Baba Yaga beach house. One of the wizards in Fritz Leiber’s “Swords” stories also had a hut like that.

if you got a beach house… you’ve got nothing to complain about.

Oh uh, how many points were taken off of Petey’s picky eater ranking because he ate 3 fish sticks

I do too, Alice.

Their beach house makes me think of Howl’s Moving Castle. Wonderful movie.

That would make a good horror movie!!!

@tazz555 Have another look. Petey took 3 bites of a fish stick. Probably small bites, so it shouldn’t hurt his picky eater standings too much.

Reminds me of some Courage the Cowardly Dog cartoons

didn’t you used to play with the Mysterions?

I was gonna type all the different shrimp dishes like Bubba in Forest Gump but it just made me hungry. Must go eat lunch now…..

And NO ONE has mentioned, they are AT THE BEACH and mom is serving FROZEN FISH STICKS? No wonder Petey is getting sick! :-D

Not nice at all.

Sorry you’re not feeling well Petey.

Luuuv this strip. Also like shrimp and luuuv oysters. But food-sensitive to them. Oh, well.

Reminds me of the film clip for Gotye’s “Hearts a Mess”.
