Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 29, 2022

Don’t be an upperclassman snob Petey; you’re being out voted by two proven intellects. And make no mistake about Dill’s ‘really’; it’s an affirmation, not a question!

So, Petey, only preschoolers as well as first and second graders use glitter?

I’m pretty sure that glitter is used in most grade school art classes.

I’ve heard of “String Theory”, but “Cotton Balls” and “Packing Peanuts”? An ingenious new school of Physics! But no glitter allowed.

Glitter is saved for adults. (Spring-loaded birthday cards)

Petey! It is the BIG BANG. Of course you need glitter. And a disco ball.

Makes as much sense as the real theory. Out of nothing comes everything? Perhaps it has something to do with string theory…

Glitter gets into everything unless one is very careful. I avoid getting cards with glitter on them.

Ahh, glitter… Now I understand “infinity”… ッ

Dill’s aesthetics—so sensitive.

Reminds of the girl in The Wanderers that used glitter for finger nail polish.

Also, those peanuts are a real pain!

Don’t feel to bad, Petey. No one has yet been able to explain, let alone recreate the Big Bang. Maybe try a black hole diorama next, and hopefully it will help clean up all the glitter.

Does the string represent Cosmic String?

The Big Bang is easier to portray in diorama form than God speaking the Universe into Existence.

Attention, class!

THIRD-GRADERS DO NOT USE GLITTER!
