Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac, is a comic strip about the life of a pre-school girl named Alice Otterloop. It is a light-hearted comic strip centered around a four-year old girl and her suburban life experiences on a cul-de-sac with her friends Beni and Dill, older brother Petey and her classmates at Blisshaven Academy pre-school. Alice describes her father's car as a "Honda-Tonka Cuisinart" and talks to the class guinea pig, Mr. Danders. She has the typical older brother who plays jokes on her, and she contemplates ways to keep the scary clown from jumping out of the jack-in-the-box with friends.

A mighty BIG bug, I’d guess.

There’s a weird bug here in Japan that looks like a cross between a wasp and a moth. It’s huge – the size of a humming bird. That’s probably what tried nesting in Petey’s hair.

Three Steps, I think you’re describing a sphinx moth (hawk moth, hummingbird moth). Was it one of the yellow/orange and black ones, or one of the green ones?

‘They Might Be Giants’ have a song about the bird/bee/moth.

This one seems to be all black.

When I was three I got stung by a bee (I presume) right in the middle of my forehead.
The first thing I saw was a butterfly.
For ages I was afraid of getting stung again by a butterfly.

I like the surreal way Alice thinks. And even Madeline tells the story more interestingly than does Petey himself!

Good old Petey. Always exaggerating the facts to get out of everything.

Japan does have huge hornets at least 3" long an aggressive.
Petey an I have similar hair. Once it grow out it starts curling an curving. So I like to keep cut much like his. Though mine was never red like that. And it turned white before I was 30. Maybe it will happen to him.

I just got a picture from an aunt of me in 1977. Hair was to my shoulders and beard like a pirate. Now I look like an Insurance Salesman. Oh, I am.
