Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 27, 2009
Transcript:
Alice: The year is almost over! Dill: So? Alice: I swore that this year I'd learn to swing by myself. Dill: So? Alice: And I'd learn how to walk and how to whistle. Dill: I swore I'd learn how to tell my feet apart. Alice: Maybe I set the bar too high. Let's go watch TV. Dill: I'd race you, but my feet are too confusing.

Well, at least you don’t have to set newer, loftier goals.

RT, you are a genius.. Even if gocomics.com doesn’t declare you one.

Thanks, randayn! But I pay my twelve bucks like everybody else here (who’s a genius, that is).

I love how Alice is trying so hard to swing that one eye is closed and the tongue is out..pure concentration!

Or maybe… She’s trying to learn how to wink, whistle and swing all at the same time! Hilarious, Richard

Vawser..you are right..not sure why I didn’t catch that! I guess I subscribe to too many comics and tried to skim thru before I had to be somewhere. I better go back & reread my favorites to see if I missed anything else!

I got my socks on the wrong feet again. I don’t know how, these are the only feet I have.

My grandkids have struggled with learning to swing, but I don’t recall such expressions on their faces. As for telling which foot is which – let’s just say that even “old kids” have problems from time to time. In Jr high I used to mark my gym shoes left and right just so I could get ready quicker!

I think Alice did learn to wink. In fact I use her first wink as my avatar.

Love that he is standing in 5th position. Don’t know if that was a joke for dancers but it made me laugh.

Dill reminds me of the uh-oh baby in the eighth panel.
