Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 02, 2021

You can calls me Master Otterloop, or you can call me Petey, but ya dasn’t never has to call me PETE!

Oh, No! A deviation from anticipated reality! Will Petey survive this challenge?

Your fame precedes you, Petey.

Mom, Petey will never feel better.

That’s not Timmy Fretwork, is it?

The man who isn’t Mr. Spinnerack might turn out to be a famous cartoonist.

Like a recurring nightmare. Beni warned that Miss Bliss’s banjo man boyfriend couldn’t be tied down.

Pete’s reputation precedes him.

I am going to guess that the new teacher, “Mr Not Spinnerack” knows its “Pete” as Andre and Loris are already there and the cartoon camp did not add any new students.……

I love the teacher’s response.

That’s a purposeful walk right there!

Is that Timmy Fretwork ?

Is this where Petey starts chewing on his arm?

Far out!

It is IMPORTANT that we know these things in ADVANCE!

Forewarned about Petey.

Groucho with a pony tail???? :)

On the plus side, the bee in the classroom turns out to be the exact same bee.

In panel 2 we have a rare sighting of Petey displaying eagerness. This has only been seen once before when he was entering a bookstore to purchase the latest Little Neuro book.

Ouch! Crash! Burn!

Petey “Don’t Call Me Pete” Otterloop is confronted by “not Mr. Spinnerack” and suddenly his eagerness for cartoon camp cools. Can this New Teacher-Guy dig himself out of the deep hole he’s already created?
