Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 24, 2009
Transcript:
Mom: Petey, you should invite your little friend Ernesto over for a playdate! Petey: MOM. I don't think so. Mom: I've heard a story about a little boy who rolled his eyes so far back in his head they stuck like that. He spent the rest of his life staring at his brains. And I'll bet he felt pretty silly. Petey: MOM. Beni: I never heard of him. You'd think he'd be more famous. Dill: Try crossing your eyes first, just to loosen 'em up. Alice: Well, it's not working.

They won’t stick that way unless you cross them and roll them back while hitting yourself on the forehead with a hammer.

Oh, this one is greater than his normal “greatness”! Richard has mothers and small children down so perfectly it’s amazing. Richard - I hope you don’t mind, but this forced me to start a cartoon page in my Excel, where I can save these really good ones and view them even when I’m not online. A cartoon “Hall of Fame”, so to speak.
