Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 23, 2021

as long as “Pevey” doesn’t do any physical work — running, kicking, maybe getting trampled — he’ll turn out just fun for another year of soccer

I’d go with “Peevish”.

That’s okay, Petey… nothing to get “amp”ed up about!

“Listen, Pevey. I mean Petey, you can’t be both distressed that they called you ’Pevey” in the past and requesting that they call you ’Pevey" now. You have to commit to one or the other."

Ya just can’t take the Weinie outta Petey!

Pevey sounds about right. It would make a great comic book character like your hero Neuro.

Actually it’s not such a secret identity.

Honey, I have news for you . . . you’re always Pevey (and “peevey”, too).

Did he eat pizza?

Pevey almost seems like he enjoyed this, good for him.

“Secret Identity”! Mom always saves the day.

The only member of the team to request the position “Bench”.

Participation Trophy? And that’s why the snowflakes are snowflakes….

Pevey, sure it was an accident that was on his jersey – poor kid

I’m kinda Peved that they called him Peve. Please don’t hurt me for saying that.

Some say that Ambrose “Peevy” Peabody was the greatest aeronautical engineer of the 1930’s.

Don’t tell Viola, or he’ll be Pevey Potterpoop…

Better Pevey than Pervey.

I bet he’s peeved

At least it wasn’t “Pevey Potterpoop”.

Now if they called him “Peley” (like Pelé), that would be a huge compliment on the soccer team. ;)

“Well, now, I wouldn’t say that.”

Oh, he’s a lumberjack and he’s okay…"

Groan!

This hurts me as much as it hurts you, My Hero.

But we must all prepare for The Return of Pevey: Soccer-Boy Mans Up!

I got a life award myself – it also says “participant”
