Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 17, 2020

as if, Mrs. Otterloop, on that final remark

Meet Alice Otterloop, Classicist.

Better drive straight to ModTrix Auto for suspension bolstering for the van, Maddie!

Especially as “Ctrl A” followed by “Delete” solves the storage problems…

“trendy fad stuff…” IBM was so convinced that personal computers were just a toy fad that they built the original PC with a cassette tape port for storage and instead of designing and patenting their own PC design and writing their own operating system, they made generic PCs and licensed DOS from that lucky bast*rd Bill Gates – each of these errors in foresight at a cost of untold billions of dollars in lost profits.

I convinced my kids that a photograph of each of their projects would be the best way to “store” their work. Saved my sanity, and there were no hurt feelings when the projects were cremated. :D

Preschools are what keep the glitter industry functioning … it must stop!

Oof. Mom loos miserable in the first panel.

I’m a big fan of her classical works-dry pasta on crayola colored construction paper…

Even weighed down by Alice’s art projects, the flying minivan still achieves lift-off.

I would like to see Mom’s school projects.

I know it’s fictional but ho many years will this child be in preschool?

I do nearly all of my artwork digitally now and most of my books are e or audio. I love not having to store and dust the stuff. Of course it is now extremely ephemeral.

If it’s not gonna get your clothes and fingers dirty, is it REALLY art?

“Fad stuff”, a five year old that sounds like a seventy-five year old.

yeah it makes storage easier but it still isn’t like being able to see the real thing.

I can’t wait to see the family refrigerator tomorrow!

Alice and Mom Madeline are having a Meaningful Discussion. Alice comes down as a Traditionalist, while Madeline opts for the newfangled.

In my book, Alice triumphs over Mom today.

Let’s see now, what day is garbage pickup?
