Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 30, 2021

Alice in the final panel makes a fair point (unless you’re Peter Pan in the play of the same name where Peter even asks the audience to applaud if they believe in fairies in order to revive Tinkerbell).

Surely, Madelane is armed with numerous image capturing devices!

I’m so excited I’m about to fall asleep.

Got your phone ready for the Pix, Madelane?

Is Petey, Richard?

Alice’s comment in Panel 4 is her most “actor” statement yet

Nah, I suspect he’s safe. It’s one of those stage illusions. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I did all the usual school stuff (plays, Gilbert & Sullivan) plus some am-dram; I could NEVER see beyond the lights.

Cute look on Alice in panel 3.

Pretty sure, if it’s an established play/script, there will be copyright issues for Petey.

Does Alice realize yet she is the villain in this play?

I like that mom. My mom was never like that. Smiling!

Move fast before Petey changes his mind.

I’m not sure if excited is the right word here, Madeline. By the look of Petey’s clinched fist in panel two, he’s either working on his grit, or he’s gonna have a few out of body Petey’s to help him draw.

Alice is so egotistical!

You’re not The Center of the Universe, little missy Alice Otterloop!

I’m just so happy that Alice isn’t self-centered…
