Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 20, 2019

six billion five hundred nine million three hundred seventy-two thousand four hundred sixty-first place… amazing

The world population was lower when this was written, so he might have been in last place.

Maybe, in error, they out in the wrong name, like “Dick Weedkinder”!

Dill will apparently consume and digest anything. Why is he even ranked in a Picky Eater’s competition?

What I want to know is, what is this organization that knows everything that everyone eats…and how do they know?

“Wedekind” means ‘wood-child’ in Old Saxon.

Ah, but does he eat mulch, small stones, and stink bugs – all of which our great-grandson has swallowed.

Come on, Dill, do you know where the mouse has been?

He’s double digits on an entirely different list

After Dill has had the mouse in his mouth, can it possibly be sanitized well enough that Petey will touch it?

Pica at it’s finest.

Laughed at this whole thing, all panels. Classic.

The city’s waste treatment plant is pickier than Dill.

That was probably close to the number of the global human population at the time this strip was written.

Eating is fun.

We need to put the Global Picky Eater governing body in charge of terrorism watch – they seem to watch every individual on the planet with even more scrutiny than Santa!

You say Yin-Yang, we say Dill-Petey. Opposites, side by side, with Alice their mutual nemesis….

I just love this comic strip. <3
