Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 07, 2023

Ranger Dan is my co-pilot.

Love how the preschoolers go off on totally irrelevant, self-centered tangents.

Maybe Miss Bliss should just turn around and go back to the preschoolers own nature center—Mr. Danders cage. Ranger Dan or Mr. Danders?—then please behave!

Now, now, Miss Bliss, let’s try to live up to our name…

Think Ye of pleasant thoughts like Mr. Fretwork down on one knee…

Never understood why we don’t pay the Miss Blisses of this world better.

How do we adults survive driving kids around! I was driving down the crowded freeway, everyone going 80, it starts raining really hard and a kid in the back yells “We’re all gonna die!” Just to be funny

Hey, kids! Ranger Gord draws cartoons!

If I was Miss Bliss I would be nervous if there was complete silence.

I totally agree with the children. Ask Ranger Dan for more cartoons on TV and less news!

The conclusions kids draw, such as those above, are wonderful. The world is still so much a slowly-unraveling mystery that they have to fit into some sort of framework, and what they come up with is great! NIcely done, Mr. Thompson!

The only Bliss Ms. Bliss will see today is when she hands off the kids to Ranger Dan. And maybe later with that bubble bath and glass of wine.

Not exactly going to the Primal Sylvin to try to crack the door of the House of Life. But it is around in truncated and limited form. Most humans have been tamed if not domesticated to our high-tech society and we cannot read the signs in Nature should we need to. Some have rediscovered it or parts thereof to navigate it. Most of us see no reason to and they are correct for today.

One must sympathize with Miss Bliss! A minibus with half-a-dozen chatty preschoolers is not conducive to safe driving! Hush, children, until we safely reach the Nature Center….

I like your sketching style!
