Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 24, 2021

This’ll be quite the Otterloop Thanksgiving to remember… or to forget.

Big Shirley’s nowhere to be seen; looks like the teeth are workin’.

Oh dear, oh dear … this is disturbing …

I kinda resent this, I’m as old as grandma…my dining room table is clean and I DONT look like a crone. The stereotype is not nice.

But it does mske for a funny comic!

“teething again”: Grandma has commenced her long walk to absentia.

i wonder what alice was trying to say. it looks like “merry , grandma!”

That table reminds me of Mum’s. Several layers of old newspapers, magazines, requests for donations to odd “charities”, and she donated to all of them. (My favorite of those was the Pig Protection Program; presumably they saved pigs from slaughter houses.)

No it’s not. (Say it fast).

lmao

If it’s wet and it isn’t yours, don’t touch it!

I am this old as well – but I don’t think they are saying ALL of us look like their Grandmother..,..Let’s be honest, there ARE some women (and men) out in the world who DO look like this AND have messy houses….I agree it’s still funny.

This reminds me of my godmother who bitterly complained every Christmas that cleaning off the dining room table made her lose some critical piece of paper.

Kind reminds me of some of my relates.

Grandma’s expression in P2 is SO incredibly awesome. :-)

It really looks like they should have Grandma over to their house.

“Like father, like son”; or, vice versa.

But, Madeline, maybe a muffled Alice is safer at Grandma’s dinner?

The cartoonist “Giles” was very big in the U.K. in the 50s and 60s (before my time, but I read archival stuff). He often portrayed a motley family—the grandmother looked similar to this one, only grumpier.
