Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 14, 2010

Alice, he can’t pick his nose if his hands are full…

She didn’t say anything about hands …

He won’t be carrying the glue sticks forever. Once his hands are free, it’s nose pick time.

About as much as Alice is picking.

You can’t pick your family but you can pick your nose.

I would guess that, about the time Dill freed a hand to pick his nose, is when “gracefully” left the picture.

lewreader- i always heard it you can pick your nose and you can pick your friends, but you cant pick your friends noses.

thank you dad!

Alice sure is being awful picky about Dill.

I expected him to come out all covered in glitter and feathers and glue and sequins. He fared better than my son.

I love the color commentary from each child.

Me too, Cleo–they have pretty distinct personalities with just these tiny lines.

Dill: “It was nothing. All in a day’s work for…Very Special Helper!”

I would think a glue-stick would be excellent for extracting boogers.

I dunno, grazer. It seems like one of those “You got chocolate in my peanut butter!” / “You got peanut butter on my chocolate!” scenarios, only with a less-than pleasant result both ways…

See how cute Alice is sitting on that chair, except for the inevitable nitpicking.

Never has a collection of children hairstyles been more accurate. They look like my stepdaughter’s class picture!

I lvoe beni’s hand pound in the first panel. Wonderful!

Just imagine if Beni had his hammer…

might be fun to use a glue stick to pick the nose

It’s called multi-tasking!!

alt.ending to friends/nose … … but you can’t wipe your friends on the couch

Is Dill maybe picking his nose with his feet? He has a big nose.
