Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 15, 2023

Don’t let them intimidate you Petey, you stare right back! … (try menacingly)

He can’t chew his arm off while holding a huge tray of deviled eggs.

It’s when they start moving you have to worry about……..

Petey is far too picky an eater to eat a deviled egg.

Petey would prefer to gnaw on the tray rather than eat a deviled egg.

Poor Petey…

The Devil’s Eyes are peering into Petey’s psyche.

“The eggs have eyes”, but hey Petey that beats “The Hill Have Eyes”, at least some mutant is not going to tell you “Its Breakfast Time!” at the recital. Do not worry Petey, you will perform well!

If you eat a deviled egg I’m pretty sure they cancel your picky eater membership card. Deviled eggs are one step worse than peas that have touched mashed potatoes.

Needs covered by Saranwrap.

The Devil made him do it.

They would’ve been long gone if that was me

If you sell your soul to the deviled eggs, (wait til a cross street) you can become an Oboe virtuoso.

That would be problematic…

Leave them in the backseat of the hot, sun drenched car during the recital for even more fun. (Well, it depends on your concept of fun…)

Poor Petey. Life is one humiliation after another, but at least the eggs are distracting him from what’s to come, for now…

“When you stare into the deviled eggs, the deviled eggs stare into you.” – F. Nietzsche

Arriving just in time (I hope)! Those devil[ed]-eggs are trying to put a Spell on Petey!

Oh, the ignominy of it all!

The performer arrives, and all eyes are upon him.

I count 23…one’s missing!

Go put the eggs in the icebox
