Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 24, 2019

oh, like Oswaldo Twee never “spontaneously disassembled” when he was child?

See? Doesn’t he look like Ernesto’s father?

Funny, nothing by Twee in our local library…

Hope Petey got his tooth back! Oswaldo might try to summon his tooth fairy Mom, Esmerelda!

Brilliant strip but the 5&6th panel would be spectacular on their own! Great stuff

Some assembly required.Batteries not included ;)

Mr. Twee has been reading too many of his own books.

“A Series of Unfortunate Disassemblings”

“The Boy Who Lived… Then Disassembled”

“Alice Through the Disassembling Glass”

The author of children’s books discovers that a horror novel for adults has in it … gasp! … CHILDREN!

Even the BOW-TIE will never forget the toothless one and self-obsessed one.

My Sunday School student did this this morning!

The last adult I stood in line for was Ray Bradbury.

The perfect cartoon strip! Oswaldo Twee is an inspired foil; Alice and Petey are typically horrified kids forced to deal with an adult they don’t even know except for his creepy Fontanelle books. And then Petey pops a tooth and Twee faints (what a big baby, ehh?). And, recovering his wits, Twee announces that Petey’s spontaneous disassembly has inspired him to write a new adult horror book. Madeline is supremely impressed with Twee and, like most parents, unaware how uncomfortable her kids were.

Dripping with irony-laced humor, this multivalent strip reflects Richard’s sheer genius!

I remember how cool a loose tooth felt.
