Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 10, 2019

you’re a lost cause, Petey, when it comes to building suspense

Petey is a master of telling “shaggy dog stories”.

Petey is so weird.

About 10 years ago, Richard posted a blog entry showing the first 3 Cul de Sacs, which appeared in the (Washington) Post Magazine, 15 years ago on this and the following 2 Sundays:

Petey’s no George Romero.

I think Hitchcock would approve.

“And then… the Toad Zombies… don’t show up!”

My idea for a scary movie would be a man finding out his wife invited Jefferey Dahmer for dinner…

In a classic Dick Van Dyke episode, Rob vowed revenge on Buddy for a practical joke, then got it by letting Buddy stew with worry while Rob did nothing out of the ordinary.

Petey’s imaginary movie script may be a bit dull; but, say what you will, he did scare Alice and Beni: just look at their reactions in panel 8!

Bravo, Petey, my hero!

Or before the movie starts, They show a 5 second film clip of the uh-oh baby…shudder!
