Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 26, 2020

when my nephews (ages 19 months and almost one week) are old enough to get nicknames, I bet they’re going to get (like their old man and their yours truly uncle) “Fender Bender” or “Splendor Bender”

Wow, Peter! Was that Viola’s Grandma that hurled that insult @ ya!

By the way, Peter! What’s wrong with Petey wanting to keep his personals private?or is that keep his privates …..um..?

There’s a third grade yearbook?

Wait, is dad Petey Sr.?

Potterpoop’s – they can’t catch a break. Almost human though.

That confirms my suspicions that Cul-de-sac is a weird time loop.

XOX? Uh-oh.

The curse of a funny last name strikes again…

Pete,and repeat ;)

Potterpoop is sort of cute. I was called “Step-upstairs”

Is there a mystery here? Did the daddy Peter know a mama Viola?

Most of the comments in my yearbook are unprintable in a family forum.

Petey Potterpoop Jr?

Does this finally validate Viola’s existence, or is Petey a little more troubled than we first thought?

Well, Petey, don’t leave it out for everyone to look at. (And why did I have a sneaky suspicion that Petey’s dad was called that in grade school, too?)

Peter senior and Peter junior (Petey) share the same teasing nickname at the space of a generation. It’s all in the family.

And the school yearbook is a public record, Petey. If you choose to let people write stuff in it, you do so at your own risk….
