Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 02, 2020

oh, how boggling of young minds

That was a long set-up for that joke.

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

Why are we upset an answer isn’t given? We should be used to that by now.

Now there’s an admission….

Why indeed; the bug will carry that answer to its grave.

Kevin’s dangerously traumatized.

Wow, how existential can you get?

Small children do get carried away and can be very serious about it.

Oh, the entomology!

To get eaten by the chicken.

I want to know why too, it is really bugging me.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

So she could lay it on the line.

I think Buckethead has lost it (no, not his bucket head…) ☺

And to really throw the gang into hysterics … “Uh oh!” ☺

Oh! Did not see THAT coming!

Are these strips 10 year old recycles?

To show the squirrels that it could be done?

Oh, the humanity…

Great routine. Vaudeville would be proud.

The bug crossed the road to get to the bar; he wanted to get smashed.

I read on facebook that the chicken has grown exceedingly impatient with constantly having its motives questioned.

Never mind that final “Why?”, Marcus. Petey will not be explaining his Humor Deficiency for all and sundry.

Why not?

Upset? Why?

To escape the chicken that was hot on his carapace…

The writing is thin, but the dramatic interpretation impressively transcends the material.
