Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 13, 2020

oh, Ernesto’s a big help (did he stealthily put the note in Peter’s book before Viola would gather the homework for Peter?)

Who knows what impact eating it would have on his Picky Eater standings!

OMG! Pangolins, Alice’s favourite mammal, are bearing blame for the spread of the coronavirus. Petey, are you sure you have just a cold?

Petey’s going to transform into Big Shirley!

I think I see hair on his knuckles…

So glad we all got to read the imaginary note from Petey’s imaginary friend.

Peter and the Wolf

Ernesto – what a pip!

word of the day…lycanthropy…the supernatural transformation of a person into a wolf… thanks for broadening my vocabulary although i don’t know when i will ever use the word.

Maybe Ernesto wrote the note using a new nanoparticle ink that acts as a treatment against lycanthropy? Eating the note could be what saves Petey from becoming a werewolf (or werebadger or werepangolin or …).

Woof.

Not much fear of that happening where I live…(Antarctic)

Show mom it.

Don’t just eat the note. Wolf it down!

He might end up as a were-gourmand…

Oh, this is the beginning of the best long-term now-and-then thread!

And so begins the terrible tale of Peter and the Wolf. —Or was that …Peter Is the Wolf?
