Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 15, 2021

I think Petey’s lookin’ to be traded.

I don’t want to think about what kudzu juice might taste like.

Kudzu juice box? That’s an interesting idea

Don’t forget, Petey, to post that exotic fruit juice box on your Picky Eaters list!

It’s the kudzu that really makes the drink.

It just depends on your perspective, Petey. For Alice, that WAS the best soccer practice ever.

1. It was her first.

2. She wasn’t in it.

3. She meet up with her new best friend, Sofa. Or Soapie, I forget.

4. They threw mulch at you and called you all “boo-boo dum-dum heads.”

I was close….

Madeleine appreciates the small favors.

Poor guy, things really are tough for him

Don’t shoot. I’m unarmed!

And so Petey begins to toughen up, which leads to other body conditioning, and eventually he grows up to join the US Marine Corps.

I never noticed Madeline’s minivan floats.

Petey looks drained and talks like he’s describing torture, ha

And here I thought nothing could top “Boo Boo Dumb Dumb Head!” But pomegranate-mango-kudzu juice box might just do it!

Look on the bright side Petey. Kudzu can grow up to a foot a day so maybe it will cause a growth spurt!

Oh man, that juice box does not bode well for the world picky eaters ranking. Although it isn’t made clear if Petey actually drank it.

Whew, good thing, too! Madeline was running low on extra arms…

And that’s the whole point — the kid is exhausted.

Madeline knows a win-win when she sees it.

Petey has had to regrow his arm so many times…

I’ve never tried kudzu, but it can’t be any worse than kale.

How does Petey stay on the picky-eaters list when he keeps chewing off his own arm?

What’s wrong with Petey? Why he wanna feel the need to bite off his arm? Resis the temptation before you lose a body part due to stress.

Soccer is clearly not Petey’s game. Petey is My Hero. Am I clear enough?

Madeline is the adult in this van….
