Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 26, 2022

how dreadful for both Peter Otterloop, Sr. and Jr.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…

Alice, the harbinger of chaos!

So Alice is behind the kipple phenomenon? Philip K. Dick and Fritz Leiber would have been surprised!

At least it’s not Kale Juice. Yuk!

Well, there goes your picky eater score Petey.

Petey is prescient. He’s on the cutting edge of trends and should have a network program on PBS.

LOL

So, Alice is like the Thing? “No one here gets out alive!”

“Mulch for dinner, again?”

This is Alice’s universe. We just live here.

Alice is in the food chain? Soylent Green is Alice?

It’s true. It’s like a rash, and just as itchy and annoying.

Panels 4,5 & 8 show a rare glimpse of an animated Petey. Panel 5 has him worked into a lather, and gives us a glimpse into but one possible future as a mad scientist. You can almost see the arm-gnawing glee at his latest creation.

Down the rabbit hole. Through the Looking Glass. It’s Alice.

Petey explains the Universe and its Mistress, Alice, for Peter.

And he’s very possibly right, you know. Maybe we are doomed by Creeping Alicianism!

Hope she does not team up with that baby that goes something like uhoh.

Among the best Cul de Sac strips ever

Does their house have rubber walls everywhere?
