Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 24, 2022

“To the moon, Alice”!

Maybe a real jellyfish blob this time.

Awww a nice rare moment of sibling bonding where Petey isn’t praying for death but death won’t come.

Madeleine has a look of pure, innocent joy on her face, while dad just looks uncomfortable and nervous.

Typical family vacation lol!

Madeline is lovely in the moonlight.

Yep! Good times!

I’m surprized squelching isn’t on the extremely list of things Petey doesn’t like.

From ten years ago. An article about Richard Thompson his drawing style, comments from some well known comic authors , the end of the strip etc. https://www.tcj.com/on-richard-thompson-and-cul-de-sac/

Just as well they are not staying near students or “the moon” would have a very different meaning.

There’s a bad moon on the rise

The comments of Petey and Agnes seems to be what the OTHER would say!

Kids remember the oddest things-I went to the Worlds Fair when I was 5 and the Space Needle and a dog barfing while we stood in line are the 2 most vivid memories.

Haha! What a great family moment, and a pretty good portrait. 3 out of 4 smiles ain’t bad. In this family, I really can’t imagine that all four would be smiling simultaneously. Thanks for taking one for the team, Dad.

In this Otterloop family, the parents are foils for the children.

Actually, that’s true of a lot of families….
