Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 22, 2009
Transcript:
Alice: Look! It's Timmy Fretwork, the Banjo Man! Beni: Ooh, Miss Bliss's boyfriend! Alice: I'd break my own arm just so he could sign the cast! I heard that on a TV comedy show. Girl: Me too! And that's why I'm not allowed to watch TV comedy shows anymore.

LOL! Great strip, as usual! Alice’s expression on the second panel is priceless… and the small details like the star pasted on the window - I just love that kind of stuff!

Sounds like a good reason for kids not to watch any TV if they dare to be so immitative. Wrestling and cop shows quickly come to mind.

Ya know?

When a banjo player is around, arms DO need to get broken. Though not Alice’s.

I like the way comics make fun of us from the cradle to the grave. We earn the laughs.

Alice would be great on a sitcom, she knows how to deliver a joke.

Back in the 50’s, my Mom wouldn’t let me watch Dennis the Menace (as a 1st run sitcom) for fear of a possible negative influence on my behavior.
I don’t guess that caution paid off. I play a banjo … .

Sometimes we forget that adults (who may laugh at raunchy one-liners) aren’t the only people who read these comics. With newspapers folding, where else are the miniature citizens of the world suppose to read them? Or do they? I’d be curious as to those of you who do have young’uns if they are, in fact, allowed to come to this site. Kinda like a poll, thanks.

If I had young kids, I would not want them to have access to this site, given some of the content. It’s a shame, because it should be about the comic, which shouldn’t have questionable content. There were so many negative reactions to a particular BC strip that the Hart site replaced said strip, though the same could not be done here. There are comments here that I would not want my kids to see even though they might provide me with some amusement.

I always get to these sites too early or too late! I take it Crunkbot was misbehaving again (and got flagged?)
