Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 27, 2020

what a chatterbox Loris, huh?

Once again, a little over 10 years ago, Richard posted a blog entry regarding this strip:

Didn’t know light speed affected your hearing.

Middle Ear equilibrium distortion?

Be a shame if the stapler ran out and Petey had to go home unfulfilled.

Oooh! Tomorrow’s the big moment for Petey! The stapling of his comic!

—This confirms my suspicion that Loris has broken the Sound Barrier and travels faster by far than Sound does. What is she, Mach 2.5, Mach 3?

Many guys’ ex there.

Our rector speaks the way Loris does. Drives the congregation nuts, as we can’t follow some of the prayers. We’re still on “Give us this day” and he’s sailing through “for ever and ever”. And when you ask him to please slow down, he tells you he is going slow. He does speak slowly during his sermons, and they are always excellent, so it works out.

And we all know how important the issues with blue big eyed robots with pointed ears are

Her name might come out as “Loslop”. And it’s funny that “Sloth” is in her name… ☺

I was sure we’d see some rubber bands springing and boys ducking.

Later, Loris will grow up to do FEDEX commercials.

Mrs. Baker says I talk too much, but I don’t really think she’s listening.

Sometimes having a crap memory like mine is a great thing, as it means I get to experience the joy of Petey’s ceremonial stapling tomorrow as if for the first time! Will it be a thousand pages of staring at a spot on the wall? Tune in tomorrow, same cul de sac channel, same spot on the wall!

Why does something tell me that by the time Petey gets his comic “stapled,” either the stapler will run out of staples or it will jam up?

Loris , congrats on your comic book. hey, how are you in 2 places at one time. is that what your comic book is about?

Loris SLOTHROP ? I wonder if she is related to Lt. Slothrop from Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow. She could be….it isn’t that common a family name. I’ll ask Thomas next time we get together.
