Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 06, 2021

still doubting the bucket-headed classmate, Alice?

Kevin’s hoping to grow up to be Barney Rubble.

Jury’s a pushover!

And as further proof, here’s a dog collar! I used to snicker at the old children’s stories that used that kind of proof that the story was true!

Alice, a few minutes later, muses: “Hmmmm……Gotta confer with Petey on this one.”

Wow Alice, thats almost a compliment

Well played, Kevin. I did that with my first WW2 P-51 Mustang.

Fake news!

Full disclosure—I like the buckethead. Don’t @ me.

Wait until I show you a drawing of my new Corvette…

Years ago my parents were in a rollover accident in their Ford Explorer, and my six year old niece was in the vehicle with them. It was a “soft” rollover and nobody was hurt. I drove to the scene to pick them up, and after dropping my parents off at their house my niece wanted to stay at my place, so I let her. She was quite excited about that car accident.

Once we got to my place she immediately asked for some paper & pencils and set to work drawing. I asked her “What are you drawing?”

She said “I’m drawing a picture of the accident so the other kids in my class will believe me”

kids tell it like they see it.

Wow, the author should have drawn Alice with a lite-green complexion.

Wanna see a drawing of my cute pet velociraptor?

If he can draw a puppy cutter than the real one, he might have a future as an artist.

YAY! Kevin wins, Alice loses in the court of pre-school public opinion.

Such a cute puppy!

Incontrovertible photo-graphite evidence.

Good but not great. Alice would be a whole lot more likely to say something like “I’ll bet the real puppy isn’t as cute as my party dress”.
