Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 20, 2017

the shrub is like a time capsule!

I know this is an old comic, but for that headline, it means that not only have the Otterloops not cleaned out that shrub, neither has any previous owner.

Hey! I’ve got a sealed jar of maple syrup that old.

The “junk drawer” of shrubs.

I still have a copy of the Denver Rocky Mountain News with the “Nixon Resigns” headline in huge letters

Have to wonder what it’s worth…

That’s a priceless heirloom, but the next one will be even MORE priceless: TRAMP RESIGNS! (Ponce Pardons). Coming soon to a newspaper near your computer!

What is it with all the double replies today? This is the second cartoon in which I’ve found a bunch of doubles. Couldn’t all be personal errors:p?

Will there be a shrub left when all of the debris is removed?

You’re right everything is double!

You’re right everything is double!

Keep looking. Maybe you’ll find “Dewey Defeats Truman”. Although that was the Chicago Tribune, so maybe not.

I remember moving into a house in the late 1960s as a child. My parents took up the linoleum in a couple of rooms, and found a layer of old newspapers from the 1920s underneath. We had a lot of fun looking through them.

It means that shrub is somebody’s trash bin.

Nothing famous (I do have JFK assasination papers and Look Mags via my mom) but was going through some old stuff of my grandmother’s that was wrapped in an old sports page. PeeWee Reese! Stan Musial! Spent some time reading rather than packing.

Reminds me of my basement!

Dig a little further: Gee, “Lucky Lindy” made it!

Apparently, since no one ever cleans it out (or prunes it), that is one incredibly slow-growing 45+ year-old shrub

I think the little bush is just a facade for a TARDIS.

Wow! An endless bin, full of treasures from a forgotten past! Someone should write about this magical bush!
