Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 06, 2016
Transcript:
I take another look at the play- this part is about breakfast food. Alice: Yay. Pancakes! Girl: Yay, waffles! Kevin: Yay, bacon! Marcus: Yay, orange juice! Dill: Yay, boysonberry syrup! Petey: This seems likely to end in an ugly brawl among all the food groups so I hide behind the man in front of me.

Kevin Bacon’s (get it?) big fat daddy seems to be a sufficient fortification and hiding place for Petey as he documents, in his own inimitable way, the strange Pancake Princess play being committed on the stage of Blisshaven Academy. Maybe, though, he’s just suffering Picky Eater anxiety at seeing all those different “food groups” mixing it up on stage….

Where’s the Yay eggs?

I can’t imagine Petey eating bacon. Or eggs for that matter. Maybe an omelette with nothing in it.

Dill is doing the “I’m A Little Teapot” move again (all I can remember of my older 5-yo sister’s ballet class).

MARVELOUS artwork in the final panel. How Mr. Thompson managed to convey Petey’s look of utter anguish in a cartoon is brilliant.

At least the two different plays that Petey saw before seem to have consolidated into a single scene …

LOL… poor Petey. All that food representation must be stressing him out.
