Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 14, 2023

Like Picasso, Alice is in her blue period.

Omg, I almost never laugh out loud at the comics, but this one! LOL!!

Ice cream cones: one of the pleasures and pains of childhood!

ALICE MAD! MAD ALICE BREAK STUFF!

With Alice on that one, Petey knew what he was doing, just like last time.

He was just de-picting her.

Alice pict the wrong time to ignore Petey’s advice.

Alice is Inky the Ghost from Pac-Man?

From now on, Alice gets hers in a cup.

Ice cream, you scream, we all scream together……

Were the picts gathered together in a cave and grooving with several species of small, furry animals?

There’s no blue food… Ask George Carlin….

Vanilla ice cream is very nice, but let’s not call it beige, okay Petey?

Cousin It! You’re in a comic strip! Have you any words for your fans? Hmmm.. What’s that? Sorry, I don’t understand a freakin’ word you’re saying’……

Very funny thank you, Mr. Thompson.

This is one of my all-time favorite Cul De Sac strips. I never get tired of reading it.

I think that last panel shows her true self ;)

And Smurfs everywhere cheer…

Look! A Blue Meany! ☺

One scoop of Isatis tinctoria flavor please – hold the sprinkles.

OH MY GOD!!

THEY ICED ALICE!!!!

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Alice’s Monumental Pictish-Blue Meltdown, with a little help from big brother (beige flavor), Petey. And according to Madeline this is apparently not the first time Alice has needed hosing down….

“What’s the use of wearing braces / hats and spats and shoes with laces / that you find for sale in places / on the Brompton Road?

“What’s the use of shirts of cotton / studs that always get forgotten / such affairs are simply rotten. / Better far is woad.

“Woad’s the stuff to show, men! / Woad to scare your foemen! / Boil it to a brilliant blue / and rub it on your legs and your abdomen!

“Ancient Britons never hit on / anything good as woad to fit on / [Remaining lines omitted. Look ’em up.]”

Last time. LOLOL!
