Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 09, 2010

Ah, brothers and sisters…

Ohh the many times I said a double underscored LEAVE to my brothers…. Little bastiches never did take a hint.

Scott, what is a star badger?

The virtuoso does not easily tolerate criticism from the peanut gallery.

Please note that I nowhere stated that Petey is a virtuoso…. Go, Alice!

Oh so funny….

….including the drop of spittle in panel one.

Petey is finally anonoyed with Alice’s presence?

Alice Otterloop’s Dictionary of Everyday Useful Terms

oboe: it’s like a plugged-up nostril you can play songs on.

So hilarious!! My favorite comic!

In Sweden, in Luciafest activities in public, and at church, the Lucia Girl, and her girl attendants, are accompanied by lantern bearing “Star Boys”, who light the way for her.

New word in comic history:

“Heenk”

I remember when my sister got a flute she couldn’t even get a sound out of it for a long while , but I could. Haha younger siblings win.

hahahaha–Alice for the win description!

Only Alice has descriptions like that! LOL

That sounds like “Beethoven’s First Movement” perhaps after consuming the musical fruit.

SCOTTtheBADGER, I didn’t know that. Yes, I’d be honored to have you be my star badger.

I think Alice gave a perfectly accurate description of Petey’s playing!

“Ank oonk heenk heenk”

Petey’s getting his John Coltrane on.

I told my sister her violin playing was akin to cats being tortured….Alice’s is better.

Alice holding her nose in the last scene made me laugh.

Love it!

There is nothing better than the sound of an Oboe, except maybe the sound of a cat being sucked into a vacuum cleaner.

Has anyone compared the number of people who like oboe music to the number of people who like bagpipe music?

As a lapsed bagpiper, I like oboes just fine.

Stop that man! He’s torturing a cat! Oh wait, it’s a bagpipe.

OMG! The sound effects are perfect! LOL
