Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for July 06, 2019

What’s the word I’m looking for that describes Marcus’ mother? Overzealous?

How about obsessed….the woman needs a hobby…or another child.

Wait until she gets into Marcus: Losing Teeth

The potty training years have to be especially ripe for embarrassment.

My mother had three baby books for me. Maybe half a one for my younger sister, and none for my brother. More photos as well. I guess you get busier the more you have

So, a word to the wise, Marcus, don’t run for President!

He must be an only child (so far…)

Marcus must be a first child.

Mom and Pop-arazzi…

She is the Huey of copter’s ;)

There is no such thing as ‘to many pictures’ when they are growing up. No such thing as ‘to many hugs and kisses’ either. After all hugs expire quickly and need to be refreshed regularly.

In about 15 years they will find his mother stabbed dead in bed …

Wait ’til she brings out the nude pictures of you as a baby.

Oh dear! The cow “bought the farm” in the last panel! :)

Correct Alice – have to get the “goods” to embarrass Marcus in front of future girlfriends…

Must be an only or oldest child. It wears off by the next ones…

If his mom’s on volume 36 and he’s barely four years old, this could turn into the lengthiest photo-essay in history! You’ll be incidentally famous, Marcus! Aren’t you thrilled?

Take as many pictures as you can when they are young. One day even they will love looking at them! My son loves all of them except the one where he was naked in his dad’s cowboy boots!!! He hates that one. It’s a favorite of mine!!!

This & Richard’s Poor Almanac are two favorites of mine!!!
