Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 08, 2018

Alice NEVER gets to have any fun with the school pet.

panel three

Reminds me of several Leave it to Beaver episodes when he brought rats or frogs home.

I love her guilty look of “Oh darn…she caught me”

The lies come so easily … Alice is destined for a career in politics.

I’m surprised she dressed it bite free..

Moms always know… especially when the child is being quiet.

A classic case of “You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can never fool Mom.”

Has Alice has totally forgotten about the ‘baring of incisors’ incident??

At least with a shirt on, you can actually see that Mr. Danders has legs!

I think he looks quite natty in his hat and blazer, quite the rodent about town, if you will.

We bought ugly Christmas sweaters for our guinea pigs, and dressed them up for a brief photo shoot! Max was extremely indignant, but Sebastian loved it. He finds sweaters to be nice and cozy.

My Turbo hated it when I put a sweater on him until I took him for walkies during those cold, dank and dark Seattle winters…

Alice is the one who should be in a cage.

Busted! Love the look on Alice’s face.

I can hear that “no” all the way over here. Probably because I’ve uttered that tone of no as a child, a few thousand times.

Panel 3 is absolutely comic perfection!

Caught in a fib, Alice. Back in the cage, Danders (“Call me Mr. Danders!”). Mom rules!
