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.

Nothing sets a person off like waffles with whipped cream and strawberries.

Hopefully not as terrible, horrible, no good and very bad as Alexander’s day.

Will it be bad because she has no outlet for her tantrum pressure?

Yeah — it’s awfully FRUSTRATING when there’s NOTHING to complain about on those days when you wake up cranky!

It’s kinda like a migraine headache: you can tell it’s coming, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. No more than you can stop a lava flow by sticking your thumb into the mouth of a volcano…. Alice, just let it out; get it over with; and accept your inevitable discipline.

Absolutely!
I’s like when you take something back to a shop, and you’re all set to fight your corner, primed and ready to go, and the salesperson says. “Oh, I’m so sorry madam. Would you like an exchange or would you prefer a refund?” And you are just full of – aaaaaaaargh! and can’t get rid of it.
(I think they see that you are adrenalined-up and avoid confrontation. When you aren’t expecting trouble, you get it!)

This tantrum can only cost you, Alice.

Just checked. I have everything but the strawberries. I’ll substitute it with peanut butter.

If only she could hop over to the Peanuts strip and see Lucy at her psychiatrist booth for five cents.

Mom, I’m just musing here but you might want to reconsider something with a little less sugar on this particular day…

Actually it’s going to be a good day Alice.
