Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 06, 2022

even Valerie Frizzle has dresses very well designed… once per Magic School Bus episode

I feel for you Dill; I’ve got the same recurring problem!

Oh, the horrors of over-education. These kids clearly would rather be great painters instead.

Alice’s two-fisted painting is cute*

Both, Dill…….

Dill must be one of those kids with frequent ear infections. Take him in, they scoop out his ears and give him a course of antibiotics. Problem solved until next time.

Love the mess they have made in the last frame.

Miss Bliss is really not connecting with her audience.

India ink?

Grrrrr baby, double Grrrr!

“Nice” how Alice got her fashion assessment in there

Dill. Yes and yes.

Alice. Stains are the roadmap of childhood, no?

Beni. To my knowledge, you can’t tie down a banjo man, and similarly, you can’t stop or silence a nursery school marm. Am I right?

Ah, is it time for another visit from Timmy Fretwork?

You can’t tie down a banjo man!

I had Dill down as a frequent earwax eater…

Doesn’t she know you can’t tie down a banjo man? She’s been told….

Beni is at a stage that thinks it’s chic to loathe learning, Alice is focussed on herself and her world, and Dill can’t believe his possibly clogged ears!

It’s a nice sweater, from Timmy Fretwork, I presume….

Between Chinese textiles and their European or American markets, some weirdly random names and phonemes show up on clothing, in characters or alphabets that either the consumers or the designers don’t read.
