Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 18, 2011

Ooo, right in the schnozz!

This could easily be modified for the Three Stooges…

♫♪Abbra, abbra, cadabbra, I’m going to reach out a grab ya!♪♫

I hope that’s not a paper cut.

^No, that was a paper punch.

Pop up book martial arts may be Petey’s ticket to riches some day.

I used to like pop-up books. Luckily I was never injured by one!

That comic is a little heavy handed…

terrific!

Actually, this is historically accurate. The White House used to have a regular event where anyone who wanted to could come there and shake hands with the President. How times have changed! It was probably abolished after 1901 when President William McKinley was killed by a left-wing radical who used a hankerchief to conceal the pistol he was carrying in his hand. (Although this didn’t happen in Washington but when McKinley was making an appearance at a “world’s fair” type event in Buffalo, New York.)

Help, please. What is the name of the parking lot dirty snow creature? I’ve searched back in many strips but can’t find it. Thanks, in advance to all you loyal posters.

A Presidential pop in the face.

Thanks, Richard! Now I won’t be awake at 3 a.m. trying to remember!

Love Alice’s expression in the last panel: pain and surprise fighting it out with rage. I wonder which emotion will win…

What if you could put sound to a pop up book that page would say “HI-YAAA!”

Awesome! Love this strip!

Petey packs a presidential punch. Say that 5 times real fast.

LOL!

Rutherford would have thanked former President Buchanan. He installed the 1st bath tub in White House. That would have cleaned that beard right up.

LOL, my new favorite word, pop-uppy!!!

Too funny!! ROFL

My daughter came home from school this week with an assignment to do a report on a past US president. So disappointed it wasn’t on Mr. Hayes’ beard. Still, there are pop-up book possibilities, given that her president – Grover Cleveland – stood up for the rights of the independent Republic of Hawaii, under the reign of Queen Liliuokalani.

Mister Fweem,

Are you from/in Hawaii?

Nope. Idaho. Literally the polar opposite.
