Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 11, 2010
Transcript:
Viola: I'm going to music camp this summer! Petey: I'm going to some cartoon camp thing. Viola: I'm going to learn a new technique for playing the marimba using croquet mallets! Petey: I'm going to sit in a room studying comic books for hours. Viola: That's what you do every day, Petey Potterpoop! Petey: But there'll be others in the room doing it too. My mom hopes it'll be a big advance for me, socially.

We had hills so steep that they couldn’t make sidewalk, but put in concrete steps we called “City steps”…

Forced social lives never work and often backfire, look at how it turned out for me, I’m on a farm in the middle of nowhere reading comics at 4:45 AM.

I think a walk to or from school, talking with the girl he likes help Petey’s social skills a lot more:)
