Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 13, 2021

Your kids are quite strange kids, Mrs. Otterloop… positive you adopted them rather than gave birth to them?

Love Mrs. Otterloop’s expression in panel 3, lol!

Preschool teachers are lifesavers and unsung hero(in)es.

OH C’mon, Dill has ingested a whole lot worse…

Miss Bliss eat the toadstools? Amazing!

Eating toadstools might explain Dill’s often stated views of things.

Dill be trippin’ enough.

I love that Mrs Otterloop is concerned about Dill eating the mushrooms. And Alice is right on top of the fact that everyone knows that he will eat anything. I miss RT so much. I’ve been in this loop of comics for a few go arounds now and I still love it.

I love Mrs. Otterloop. Could the character be transported to Luann and maybe give that comic a sense of purpose?

Dill dodged a bullet. If he picked any of the toadstools the ring would be broken and a host of angry faeries would assail him.

Worse than poking a hornet’s nest with a stick, no joke.

Dang – we never had circus people in our school yard when I was a penguin chick; er – lad.

Thank goodness Miss Bliss was quick to react! Dill would eat anything, and we know some toadstools are poisonous (see Shirley Jackson, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, 1962)….
