Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 31, 2023

Petey strikes me as more of a roller derby kind of guy.

Well, something was put into play…

Your spectators are enthralled!

Attentive spectators, but no Pele!

Try hitting the ball with that big head of his. Petey likes head games anyway.

Petey’s specialty——Soccer with the sock only!

Poor Petey…this is going to be a long learning lesson.

Did I hear dad slapping his forehead?

Go for the hat trick: your other shoe and your shirt

Next – lacing for beginners.

I get the feeling that we’re right on the cusp of another Scathing Commentary from the creative pen of a certain Peter Otterloop, the Second…

First thing to learn in soccer is: how to tie your shoes…

Petey is not a jock, his parents need to encourage him in what his strengths ARE, whatever those are. Ernesto, Viola and Andre could help him too, well maybe not Ernesto.

Take up the boomerang Petey. It will come back to you, and then you can go home.

Petey’s soccer skills are as expected, though getting so much elevation on the shoe is kinda tricky.

What will Peter do?
