Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 27, 2020

Miss Bliss can take care of Alice herself, Dill… that’s what she’s there for while the parents are away doing no-children-allowed things.

Dill doesn’t want a golden opportunity to pass him by. :)

Dill wants to do the whacking. But then, who wouldn’t?

That’s Dill – always anxious to help.

Ms. Bliss probably has Garage full of very functional Brooms! “I’m here to clean you up, my Pretty!”

They’re dragging her dad into this and he’s totally innocent!

We’ve had “guh” and “ugh” … all that’s left is “hug” (if this were the “Family Circus”, that is). Well, and “uhg”, though that’s just a variation of “ugh”. And “ghu” and “hgu”, but no one likes to talk about those.

Well, Mr. Otterloop seems fairly light. Maybe his boss could carry him inside.

Dill always has helpful suggestions.

What a friend Alice has in Dill.

There are probably some hoses in the janitors closet….

Dill learned all he knows from his brothers. I think his parents to the store and never came back.

There’s something about Dill’s solution I find attractive. I mean, REALLY attractive. Alice has been needing a thorough mud cleaning since, well, probably birth.

I agree with Dill…

Dill! This would be a good time to practice “Silence is golden” rather than suggesting a brooming of Alice. Remember, she will remember….
