Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 03, 2009
Transcript:
Alice: Today at preschool Miss Bliss told us about these old myths. They were great! The best was about this giant named Alice who got to hold up the Earth and the sky! Dad: His name was "Atlas." Alice: Atlas? That's silly. So I gotta rethink my career again. Mom: Alice, you won't even hold still for five minutes.

I love the middle panel! Though Alice is too young to be Ayn Rand, you never know what the future holds…;)

I must admit, the Uh-Oh Baby works out better as an avatar for here, though! Well, I tried. :)

That center panel must have been a gag you have thought of years ago, and just had it lying in wait. Of course, all the weird movements I feel beneath my feet are better explained by Alice holding up the world while being fidgety…

And for those who don’t know, “Ayn” rhymes with “mine”. Should be easy to remember.

Actually, Atlas held up the heavens so they wouldn’t fall on the Earth, not the Earth itself. I also noticed the Alice snubbed Greenland by not marking it “mine”

the middle panel should be a book cover and a t-shirt

You know, some people might have different opinions than you. It’s fine if you don’t like Cul de Sac, but at least stop making mean comments about it.
