Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 02, 2022

Happy unsuspecting dog enters scene where he’s lectured by a strange girl and manhandled by a strange boy with a geometrically challenged head and freeing himself from that scene, trots away humming the Doors ‘When You’re Strange’.

bummer, Kevin, you bucket-head

Is that Luanns missing dog?

Who was the guest cartoonist on this?

Not a very good drawing….sigh RIP Richard.

Me. Better art, no?

Kevin, learning about the glorious world around him ;)

Always thought it was dog’s feet that smelled like corn chips. At least that’s what I was told by a dear friend with two dogs.

I’ve seen that signature before- but I can’t read it or remember who it is.

From Washington Post: Feb. 17, 2012:

""Richard Thompson, who is on hiatus from his strip as he receives treatment for Parkinson’s disease, is turning his Reuben Award-winning comic over to a half-dozen potentially demented foster parents for about five weeks of dailies and Sundays.

It’s not uncommon for syndicated cartoonists to let a colleague sub for them for a week — but letting so many creative uncles move in for at least a month could be considered an act of bravery. So, how’s the father of “Cul de Sac” feel about it?

“I’m tickled, honored and grateful,” Thompson tells Comic Riffs, “that cartoonists as talented as Mo Willems, Stephan Pastis, Lincoln Peirce and Michael Jantze, Corey Pandolph and Ken Fisher would babysit my collection of poorly socialized children … and adults.” ""

Corn chips, eh, Buckethead Kevin? My wife had a nasty little rat of a Miniature Schnauzer; the middle son swore its feet smelled like Fritos.

No, I didn’t check the veracity of his claim – nor could I ever get him to explain just why he was sniffing the evil rodent’s paws in the first place.

Corey Pandolph. See between panels 2 and 3. Also been known to use Fake Rock Star.

Oh look! They found Puddles. He’s missing over at Luann.

I was expecting a knock down laugh, left with corn chips. Bummer!

Leave it to Buckethead to think a dog works like Aladdin’s lamp.

I’ve enjoyed the guest artist, as well as today’s, but somehow todays makes me feel like I’ve mixed two incompatible medicines.

Corn chips ?!

Kevin the Buckethead is almost none-bucket-headed here! But he now knows not to pet a wandering dog.

And Alice, who as it turns out does not know how to speak Dog, is kinda vindictive here, it seems….
