Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 29, 2022

what inquisitive little minds

Dil’s right, time to go home.

Miss Bliss and all the preschool teachers deserve sainthood

I think that Dill should be allowed to go home. He can help test his brothers’ trebuchet.

Time for Dill’s yoga class…

Apparently… Humpty wasn’t an egg… but a cannon…

Dill has herb enough……

I’m with Dill. Nothing more will be learned today. We’re back to the chicken or the egg.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

So she could lay it on the line.

No Dill, you’re safer here. At home your brothers might launch you with the trebuchet.

Thompson’s take on kids’ thinking is my favorite part of his strips.

It’s like group therapy for fiction writer wannabees.

The advanced mother goose wore Dill out quick, poor kid

LOL

What’s not generally known is that the king’s men pushed him.

I agree with Dill. His hair reminds me of Sluggo.

I bet school can be pretty tiring when Alice is in your class.

Humpty Dumpty was an ostrich egg.

I think it is Ms. Bliss who has learned a valuable lesson today. Dumb down Mother Goose and the kids will make up their own story, with more questions than you are comfortable answering. Put that in your sanitizer, Ms. Bliss!

Good point, Alice. Personally, I think it was a austrich egg.

Love the kids’ responses, all of them! Alice’s is actually thoughtful, after a fashion. Poor Dill has Brain Overload….
