Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 19, 2011

Evil Queen, perfect for young Alice.

Dill’s sticky and versatile!

Alice’s Queen isn’t evil, just refreshingly blunt!

This really sounds like a pre-school magnum opus! A singing pitcher of boysenberry syrup: what else is in the chorus?! When do tickets go on sale?

LOL :)

Dill’s the hero with a handle and a spout!

I love Dill’s face in the last pannel

Can’t wait till the play!

Dill the sticky, the proud!

Typecast so young. It will be hard for them to find break out roles as they age. Perhaps self absorbed teen princess and smelly teen aged boy they may struggle breaking out of the rut.

The Brave Grocery Cartherd - wow, I’ve gotta see the play now! I work for a grocery company and maybe if we had a play like this it would help morale :)

High on the hill was a lonely cartherd….Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo…

Maybe Madeline is worried over nothing. Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding. Maybe Dill’s dyslexic, and in the script he read “volatile” as “evil a lot.”

No, scratch that. Dyslexic or no, these kids can’t read yet. Still, I doubt Alice has any idea at this point that her character is Evil, and thus expected to lose. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Alice’s mom know’s her all too well. The play will be train wreck and Queen Alice will be yellin’ “Off with their heads!”Dill is a trip.

Very well put.

I had to give my beautiful new puppy, named Dill, a little taste of boysenberry syrup this morning, after I stopped laughing

Kids playing dress up make for an alternate reality, especially with great imaginations.

I love it when the Mom is in the strip. She is so unflappable. She and Alice make a great team.

A singing pitcher?

OH YEAH!!!!!

@Grog Is Dill breaking the fourth wall?

There is just nothing that can make me laugh like my daily dose of Cul de Sac!

I want to be Dill when I grow young.
