Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 24, 2020

ever the worrisome parent for her kids’ antics Mrs. Otterloop is

She is trying not to get her hopes up, Alice. And, of course, Petey would say, “Oh? Were you gone?”

She’ll be on a steady diet of corn. Don’t know if that’s good or bad.

The unflappable Madeline Otterloop!

Or, have the Pod People already changed her? Could she be one of Them?!

Look out, Alice! Your only way out of that corn maze may turn out to be straight up, into a flying saucer!

Mother is thinking that she could only be so fortunate!

Used to play in corn fields, only thing we feared was the farmer

Maybe she’ll become one of the Children of the Corn…

Sure you will.

Should be a corn maize.

Is that a Star Trek insignia on her hoodie?

If you build it, they will come.

Some might celebrate.
