Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 09, 2025

His tongue is so tied up , it’s knot going to work.

Oh dear …

Nothing like your first crush

Tough day for Petey. Isn’t the first. Won’t be the last.

Love stinks!

Smooooth!

Oh no, please not that again

Love rears up its ugly head

What you gonna do

What you gonna do when it comes and gets you?

Don’t worry! That was my pick-up line, too, Petey! You should see the gorgeous woman who fell for me anyway.

You can come out of that funk if you think about how she gets up, goes to the bathroom, then washes and gets dressed in the morning. Concentrate on details. Take your time.

Sounds like he was playing his clarinet for second!

So, just hang on to that Christmas present and give it to her for Valentines’ Day.

Boom!

The hat is holding him back lol. He needs to look a little more suave

Well at least he didn’t say anything stupid, like I did.

Missed his chance again. Sigh.

What a revolving development this turned out to be!

Hid Social Anxiety is making him socially anxious… ☺

Do you really want to be in a relationship with someone who screws up your name?

No one is immune from the magic of beauty!

Angry eyeballs of regret!

Once again, welcome to the world of the socially maladroit.

So close!

If you snooze you lose.

Urk. This hits too close to home.

True love, Petey, true love.

Priceless. I feel every bit of Petey’s emotion in that final panel.
