Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 06, 2022

And Alice and Petey defeated the ugly smelly bug and from then on, lived happily ever after!

I believe it was Linus who said there was no problem too big to be run away from. Petey takes it even further, and won’t even address a problem by running.

We all have happy endings, we just need to know when to stop the story.

He’s consistent!

That WOULD indeed be very sorrowful for Dierdre.

how does this kid ever leave the house?

Consistent avoidance and vacillation for Petey. And Alice names a stink bug Dierdra? hahaha.

He almost nailed it int he last panel for describing Chicago voters – except for the happy ending part.

Magnificent stillness, Petey. The force(?) is strong in this one.

I once knew a stinkbug named Dierdre….

It’s in your hair, Petey!

Heather. Name it Heather.

I hope she would remember to feed Dierdre, and put holes in the jar so she can breathe, and how do you determine the gender of a Stinkbug?

That works for many of us, Petey

Alice, once you learn how to write, you could create a graphic novel like your big brother does, called A Stinkbug Named Dierdre! It could be a profoundly Southern Gothic tale of love and loss and bad odors….
