Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 30, 2021

You’re welcome, Petey.

Just what Petey needs, the help of a good woman…

I wish it were snowing!

Love the action movie reply from Petey, ha

I’d love to see the teacher’s face when he tells her what happened to his homework! And he didn’t even need a dog.

That will teach her.

One of the things that makes me extra sad about Richard Thompson’s passing is that we’ll never get to see how Viola and Petey’s relationship grows.

She killed Petey!!!!

Reminds me of the last day of school when my son would clean out his book locker.

Well, it’ll be a better excuse than my dog ate it.

One of my favorites.

I am not a fan of Viola Skunkpiss, or whatever her name is.

That’s a lot of unfinished homework.

I just noticed: this is one of few cartoon figures to be drawn with 4 (four) fingers, second panel.

Dill always has a great spin on things, and I agree, the plumage of exploding homework does fall like snow. No mittens necessary, however.

Too late! Too late for the “pressure-cooker valve” release, Viola.

Everybody take cover! Heavy Homework Debris is falling!
