Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 28, 2019

the teacher had no imagination whatsoever

Petey should accompanied it with a glass of milk.

Wha…Petey didn’t explode!

Teacher is deeply scarred and has a smores trigger.

I am shocked at that teacher. First of all, “very detailed” automatically merits at least a “B”. And secondly, there’s nothing trivial about Graham Crackers.

Being unavoidably trivial myself, of course I looked up the Graham cracker to see if it was really invented by Sylvester Graham. Most people wouldn’t care, so I won’t say what I found.

His brother Alexander invented the Bell, right?

The innate beauty of many things lies in its triviality.

If that teacher thought Petey was a trip just wait until they get Alice.

Invented to counteract what was thought to be the sexual effects of coffee.

I never had to do one of those! I guess I was educated back in the dark ages!

Petey, don’t listen to the Nay-Sayers and Poo-Pooers, I have pleasant memories of some of the things I have combined with Graham Crackers for tasty treats…

Classic cul de sac. This is why it stays in my dailies

It’s been many years since I’ve seen the inoffensive expletive ‘BAH’ in a comic.

The dismissive “Bah” usually accompanied by the skeptical “humbug” made famous by the Scrooge character.

What did that teacher ever do that we’d remember? —Nothing!

But Petey, My Hero, will become a great master of artistic depictions of history! So there!

Sylvester Graham? A bit of a stuffy chap, what?

I want to see a shoe box dedicated to Dr. Scholl, purveyor of the best foot powder
