Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 22, 2022

oh, how dreadful for the “new kid.”

Love the drawing of the teacher crossing between panels….

Alice in trouble again.

Alice has caused him to doubt his existence.

Dill got ground down……

Poor Dill….

Alice is into gaslighting her best friend I see…

And Dill begins his lifetime of existential crises….

Dill’s dilapidated dilemma…

Poor Dill, plunged into existential crisis, thrown for a loop by a grumpy Otterloop.

How could mom know her attempt to guide out of grumpy and into the wonderful possibilities of a new day would backfire? Alice has turned a positive spin into a dizzying existential lava field.

Can Miss Bliss live up to her name and sooth the savage beast? The prognosis is not good. Please, everyone, for your own safety, take cover.

I woke up cranky today, and have been having a “lost my glow in the dark purple yoyo” day. Soon it will be bedtime, and we can try again tomorrow. Ah the wonderful hope of a better tomorrow.

Poor Dill! He’s almost having a nervous breakdown, and he’s barely four years old! Thank goodness Miss Bliss came by and scooped up aggressive Alice for a time-out (and, P.S., love the split-screen art of Miss Bliss across panels 2 and 3)!…
