Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 12, 2021

little kids’ imaginations sure are something, aren’t they?

My precious grandmother had a hat just like that. sniff

Point her toward the door. Then go open it.

I think Alice is a blip on Petey’s radar!

Petey is the only source I go to for animal facts, and Alice for old lady facts.

Just go with it.

It’s a “Last of the SummerWine” Nora Batty hat.

I think Petey actively yanks Alice’s chain.

I’m trying to envision the grown up version of Alice.

Also works as a mosquito face shield

Now now, Petey’s got a 97% accuracy rate (or is that the other way around??).

This is where we need ‘Foodar the cat’ from Get Fuzzy to make an entrance. In the "before times’ there was a co-worker at the office who could always tell you where to go based on what you wanted for lunch. We called her Foogle. “Anyone know of a good Thai place?” “One moment; hey Foogle…”

Alice is living her fantasy! —With the necessary support of Mom Madeline!

So cute, in spite of herself.

That could be the veil for a contemplative order of nuns. Shut out the distractions of the outer world and tune in to the essential truth within.

It may be “old hat”, but this strip can still make food come out of my nose.
