Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 29, 2010

I can just feel your disappointment, Alice.

Alice is not a happy camper

I want to find out all concerning the mystery girl.

Me too!

The Mystery Girl looks like a Petey to me…

Perhaps she is a small fish slapping bear, in disguise?

Fish slapping bear? Have I missed something?

^When her mom told her about Camp Blisshaven, Alice convinced hersef they were going to catch bears (the kind that slap their fish out of the rivers).

It’s never as good as advertised, eh?

Boy she is going to be very disappointed when she finds out she isn’t going to catch one the whole summer.

Or is it the fish slapping the bear?

“I’m wondering just what it is that a fish might say to a bear that would get it slapped”

Eat me?

Well you’d certainly want fresh fish wouldn’t you? Why should bears be any different?

Imagine how disappointed the poor fish are, Alice.

I’d bet she’d still be disappointed if she caught a fish slapping bear! It probably would be too small or the wrong color or something!

Is anybody else having problems getting to the “home” page? I haven’t been able to get there for at least a week now.

@tomwertz – where does it take you? what browser are you using?

Thanks

I have a sneaking suspicion that the weird new stranger kid might prove to be Alice’s nemesis. Good (if true)! Alice needs a nemesis. She has plenty of foils, but none that really provide enough of a challenge to her…

I don’t have a problem getting to the home page, but I do have a problem getting to the second comic on my comic page. I get some error about the penguins not working or something. I use Google Chrome for my browser.

At least the fish caught by the bears would be very fresh (unlike any in local groceries here), but Alice is more interested in the action I think ;-)

It’s Edwina Gorey, as I live and breathe!

It’s the custom 404 page, the penguins not working page. I use both Chrome and Firefox 3.6.x.
