Transcript:
Mom: What is that? Dad: Belgian llama cheese. I bought it at the Allfoods Market. Mom: Oh, that place. They're always so serious there. Dad: Yeah. It cost 12 bucks. Smell it. Mom: Yeeghk! Dad: I was hoping it'd be good. Phooey. Mom: You've got cheese-buyer's remorse? Dad: I do. It's sad. Cheese: MOLD. Alice: Oh boy! A Fuzzikin interactive pet like on TV! I'm going to name her Elspeth! Thanks, Dad! Mom: It's going to smell up her room. Dad: But it's not a total loss!

A new classic. Cul de Sac only recently appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times but is already on my can’t miss it list. Few characters in literature are as intriguing as “Fontanelle the imperiled Infant.”

But Mom, it’s a child’s room. How will you be able to tell whether the smell is from the cheese, or from the detritus?

If one can look past the health risks (few things are worse for you than cheese), the animal abuse (few animals suffer more than dairy cows), and the environmental devastation (modern dairy farms completely annihilate their local environments), few foods are as delectable as a nice stinky cheese. But you’d better clog your arteries with it quickly, ‘cuz it does tend to turn into green Fuzzikins seemingly in front of your eyes. Hmm. Perhaps I’d be better off spending my $12 on something else.
