Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 11, 2021

Let’s hear it for Dill.

Dill! Never again do what you did in panel 2!

Puppy Peer Pressure Pathos!

In answer to Alice, “because Kevin asked for a puppy instead of some huge ugly thing, for Christmas.”

Gee Alice, somebody else got something wonderful. Jealous much?

Alice is not the kind of person I’d let have a puppy. As much as I love his character the same goes for her brother too. I don’t think he could handle a puppy

Be careful Alice, Kevin may blast on you about your nose.

My advice: Puppies for everyone, even trolls. Then the world will be a better place.

jealous much, Alice?

I love the way Dill looks in the second panel; and sniffing in the third like a dog would do. he did the dog’s facial expressions to a tee!

Dill: the relentless reporter. Beni: the conscience of polite society. Alice: JEALOUSY!

Leg lifting is rather advanced for a little puppy—takes mature balance skill, and doesn’t usually happen till later in life.
