Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 13, 2021

Yeah, kids can pick up on stuff that is supposed to be good for them.

soon Alice will watch a new show whose theme song will make her share a new earworm to her family

Oomabuggy Wow Wow; never heard it, but somehow it got made up in my head and now I can’t get rid of it. Agh! Ick!

Alice: “Really! The last show had something stupid about not playing soccer in the snow!”

I know what you mean. I like my life lessons to be valueless.

One of Mr. Thompson’s finest, funniest arcs. Ta.

Petey doesn’t even get the Scathing Commentary… I̲c̲k̲.̲

Nothing worse than 1/2 an hour of VLL.

I avoid valuable life lessons at all costs.

You want valuable life lessons? You watch Bugs Bunny.

Too many life lessons is right. It ruins the whole show.

To balance out the valuable life-lessons I make the kids watch the news channels…

Future troll.

Oomaboogy wow wow!

Alice’s reaction to that TV show pretty much matches mine to Veggie Tales, which I used to enjoy….

Oomaboogy wow wow!

—Earworm? Me?! Don’t be silly!

Oomaboogy wow wow!

I remember quitting Gumby when I started paying attention to what they were saying.
