Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 17, 2022

It’s gonna go to the same place as the contributions made to that other appliance in the room.

well, at least the mother didn’t say the foam is made from deceased mermaids (according to H.C. Andersen)

Sea foam is made from all the dead things in the sea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_foam

Alice cannot imitate Petey perfectly. Petey is apparently not going to step into the ocean at all.

Heaven forefend!

Two Peteys under one roof? I’d lose my mind.

Sea foam is Green.

So where does that stuff go every night?

Double take

Ten Years ago today. An important announcment http://richardspooralmanac.blogspot.com/2012/08/wash-post-blows-lid-off-cul-de-sac.html

Oh, there’s a little of Petey in everyone, I think. Some Alice, too.

Alice turning into Petey? You’ll know if she starts trying to gnaw her arm off.

Everyday is an adventure with this family. Such fun. Alice, I’m sure Petey will fill you in about pipes and their machinations later.

Sea foam is really the least of the things you have to worry about stepping in on the beach.

Madeline’s worry is outrageously funny! She could not possibly cope with double-Petey siblings!

Besides, I’m sure it would never happen. Alice is too Alice to turn into a Petey, ever….

I put Sea Foam in my gas tank. Keeps my injectors clean.
