Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 02, 2021

let me guess why Petey dislikes staked foods: they touch one another

He probably doesn’t like to play Jinga either.

Petey has dislikes about the weirdest things!?

How about “stacked” girls? Uh..Sorry.

“I don’t like food that stacks.” What a great line for Petey to give himself. That boy is the sum of all neuroses.

I wouldn’t want a pancake that has been sat on either……

Umm, pancakes.

All food stacks, just some not so neatly.

What about Oreos? What does the picky eaters club say about those? They stack nicely, especially if you take the cookie off one side and stack the cream parts together..

Petey can spell correctly. That’s something.

my husband didn’t like his food touching; neither does his daughter. me…..i don’t care.

So, Pringles are out too? One of my basic food groups.

And the princess can tell if there is even one chocolate chip beneath the bottom pancake!

Anybody remember the short-lived cereal: Post “Stacks?” Actually advertised guys playing with the individual cereal pieces and stacking them on the table. It tasted kind of like Wheat Chex.

Pancakes- beige in color, no sharp corners, somewhat bland on their own, buuuuut….. stackable. Oh so close, Petey!

I like Petey’s drawing of Alice, but I fear her head is too small for her ego.

Petey’s detailed journal will one day be an indispensable historical source for the short history of the play, The Pancake Princess, and its reception by an audience mostly comprising large adults probably parents or other relatives of the cast!

Richard Thompson was so creative. He did a comic is cursive! Nobody does that.

The middle panel is brilliantly composed and drawn. Also a symmetrical focal point with the artist center stage. I don’t think Petey consciously wanted to “draw” attention to himself, though.
