Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 24, 2020

Once again, a little over 10 years ago, Richard posted a blog entry regarding this strip:

so Petey is going as Thor?

Social Distancing, Petey?? Man, talk about being way Cutting Edge? Petey, you da Man!

To Mere Ordinary Folk, the helmet and cape constitute a cute if weird kid’s costume. But My Hero has a deeper understanding. They are his favorite distancing mechanisms! Begone, Mere Ordinary Folk! Petey Otterloop is coming!

Well, maybe depth, but SUBSTANCE? I’m not sure about that.

She’s telling him, “Petey, you do you.”

Ditto what Alice says.

I think I agree, Alice.

Petey the Red, s̶t̶r̶i̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶b̶o̶l̶d̶l̶y̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶w̶a̶r̶d̶ … inching hesitantly backward… he trips over his cape… ☺

How apropos! Also, waiting for the first: Viking helmets didn’t actually have horns comment….

My time has finally come.

Just another day at Comic-Con …

Which I miss so much.

This explains my cosplayer friends.

BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hiya Happyx3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

will we get to see the comic book the 3 of them collaborated on?

Yes, Petey is as deep and substantive as a shadow…

What a supportive family. <3
