Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 26, 2023

That really sounds a like a cool toy idea, though.

When I was a kid (the 70s), my sister and I would spend a lot of time going through the Sears Christmas Wishbook and let our parents know what was on the top of our list.

Is Alice even more naughty than Calvin, I wonder?

Tell it to Alexa!

Pretty susceptible to suggestion aren’t you Alice.

Too late. The dumb fatbutt already put you on the list.

Don’t need no video games when you got a younger sister to mess with.

I don’t know about Santa but my head was close to exploding after hearing about her toy idea!

Catalogs sell on eBay. I could have funded my retirement on what I threw away. >

Great idea, Alice, and a beautiful artistic representation. The Swiss Army knife of Christmas presents, or maybe the Transformer of presents. Otterloopus Primus, Activate!

This one made me laugh out loud.

Never mattered what we asked for. We never got it.

And Petey is evil cue the evil laugh

Don’t know about Santa, but Richard Thompson is (was) a genius!

This mal-adventure of ambitious Alice backfires because she believes her big brother Petey has the real deal inside scoop about Santa and his exploding head….

AI could take Alice’s specifications and deliver exactly what she’s asking for. She was just asking half a generation too soon.

Today’s particular strip, among all the wonderful strips, is just wonderful!!!❤️
