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.

Petey needs help. Many, many years of help . . .

Many are the strong who cannot stand the sight of blood (“…cannot stand…”—get it? Oh, I break me up!)!

I think Petey should stay away from anything in the medical or even dental profession, marg.

“Petey has passed out. being a surgeon is not in his future”
After I read your observation, I looked more closely at what Petey was saying in Panel 2. He’s trying to say “blood.” I hadn’t picked up on the fact that he passed out – thought he’d tripped, somehow. So, thanks.
That’s generous of Alice in the last panel.

Can’t make self shut up about grandkids: My “Alice,” when I asked her whether she’d had a good day at school yesterday, said, “Not at ALL!” It seemed that they were allowed only one minute to eat, and at recess a boy pushed her down and she skinned something. Later she said it was her arm, but she couldn’t find the injury or remember which arm.

Nice to see Alice being so generous here even though she is the one bleeding.
