Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 04, 2022

well, third Petey, how else is the original Petey going to confront a stink bug?

Petey Otterloop is just beside himself!

“A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of stink but once."

Apologies to Billy Shakespeare

This cannot end well unless Madeline shows up soon. Hopefully Alice actually went and found her immediately.

Well 3 heads are better than one.

Full blown psychosis. Over a bug.

Keep going…

The Adventures of Petey and Petey and Petey.

(Or Petey, Repeaty, and Threepeaty.)

I’m not sure if the stink bug is amused or bemused by this turn of events, but I Iove the change of expression on the various Petey’s, and they seem to be fully realized aspects of him.

May the fourth be with you!

Y’know, stinkbugs really get a bad rap. They don’t, um, exude unless threatened and it takes a lot to do that. Because they eat spiders or their eggs they are under my protection and I just scoop ’em up on a paper or something and put ’em out. Never a problem.

I just pick them up by one of their antennas and gently escort them outside.

No number of static Peteys can hope to overwhelm the stinkbug. Action is called for!
