Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 02, 2022

way to think things through, Alice Otterloop

Borrow Big Shirley from Grandma and paint her green (Big Shirley, not Grandma). She should be plenty impressive for your purposes.

“There’s shrinkage!”, e.g., G. Costanza

Alice needs to get the kind of dinosaur which gets huge when you get it wet.

It’s just a baby. Wait until it grows up!

I haven’t noticed this before, but do the squiggly lines around Alice’s legs represent something? At first, it seemed to indicate walking, but in the last two panels, she’s standing still.

It’s a baby Alice Saurus!

Don’t worry, Alice, everybody at school knows who the real Alice Saurus is, and that it’s best not to poke it. I do worry about the muffled snickers, though.

Mister Thompson’s comic art work is as good as anyone’s but it is odd that Alice’s nose is semitransparent in the first, third, fourth and fifth panels.

Costume time!!!

A moment of reflective self-realization for the Alice Saurus about the plastic [allosaurus]. And, BTW, why single out Kevin in your mind-blowing scenario, Alice Saurus?
