Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 09, 2020

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

how sneaky of you, Dill

My granddaughter used to stash food in her bib pocket to eat later when she was a toddler.

Now for sure they’ll have to marry…

Crumb Gutters! Gonna work that into a conversation somehow.

And once they grow up, they grow crumb gutters on their faces (a.k.a. beards). so they don’t have to bend over for a snack.

I’ll have to start carrying chunks of cookies in mine. The butter on the pumpkin bread keeps soaking in something awful.

I saw a similar Don Martin (MAD magazine) several years ago with two hippies and really long beards…never forgot it!

I’m always pleased when a bit of food dislodges from between two teeth, giving me an unexpected little snack… ☺

I used to work in a movie theater and I’m short so I often have to cuff my pants. I closed one night and scraped all the popcorn out of the machine into the floor to sweep up, then went to walmart after locking up. Some guy in the frozen food aisle pointed at my feet and said “You saving that?”

I had about a small’s worth of popcorn in each cuff.

I call mine “cuffs.”

I used to eat findings from my crumb gutters, but gave it up for lint.

Hahaha! Who among us has never relished cleaning the crumb gutter, whatever it’s incarnation? Nom nom nom…

While staying at The Home of Benevolence, the local orphanarium, my uncle would hide the stewed prunes in his pants cuffs so he didn’t have to eat them. (Any food left uneaten would be waiting for you at next meal.)

Dill follows the 5-day rule for food safety…

I think my jeans had cuffs when I was young (though not Dill-and-Alice young). But they were ineffective as cookie crumb gutters….
