Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 20, 2023

Running (spoiler) commentary…

Oswaldo Twee. I believe we actually meet him at some point in this comic. We certainly see his image. And he looks like an Oswaldo Twee.

Well Alice just ruined reading time.

And all the kids are thinking that Alices dad looks a lot like Elmer Fudd, I hope he talks like him too.

Maybe Dad can read it in his duck voice.

ALICE!!!

Hope Dad brought a back-up.

Did he bring a back-up story; maybe “Little Neuro?”

“Alice!”

“OOO Kay!”

Oswaldo Twee is an anagram for Wee Low Toads.

Spoiler aler- … too late

Story narration by Peter Otterloop. Translation and embellishment by Alice “look at me” Otterloop.

ALICE! You mean little attention-hog! Shame, shame on you, ruining the surprise of Daddy’s story!

Miss Bliss, make Alice sit in the Quiet Corner until Mr. Otterloop has finished his story-telling, answered any questions from the audience, and especially got up successfully from the Big Story Chair!

Well, Hamlet did the same thing; but that’s because it looked as if the audience had lost interest and started to wander off.
