Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 18, 2021

Would you prefer celery-apple-cucumber juice (by R.W. Knudsen; found at my employed grocery store) instead, Petey?

I find coconut water taste like skin loition to me.

It’s probably best that Petey avoids that juice box. It would trash his global picky-eater ranking.

I love that they each make the same sound upon scanning the ingredients of that juice box. He scans it by sight, while Alice, being unable to read, has to do it by taste. I wonder if “EEURGH” is genetic? Nature or nurture?

Aloe! No wonder!

Dang I thought for sure that Petey had scored the winning goal , surprise, surprise.

Had to quote mom and then be sure to let him know he lost. He’ll now chew off his arm.

i was wrong. no goal for Petey; would have been a great confidence-buider event for him but then he wouldn’t be the Petey we all love. i never had a juice box. i drink Acai-grape or peach-mango flavored water, especially while rollerblading.

Humor in every panel – Richard Thompson was truly a cartoon genius!

Do they put oinkment on pigs?

Not surprising to me that she knows the taste of ointment.

What’s this? Petey was nervous? —I never would have guessed.

Who in their right mind would drink a box of “carrot-kiwi-aloe”?!

That’s the aloe you’re tasting.
