Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 15, 2011

Go for the jelly donuts…

Or the dirty dishes…

Check out Alice on ‘Pearls…’

Alice is still in the grip of her Halloween costume panic attack. Petey is distressed at her disdain for him as a costume. Madeline is in full mother-mode. Life is normal in the Cul de Sac. (Yes, do see the toughened Pastis-version of Alice at PBS!)

Read today’s Pearls Before Swine, Alice makes a guest appearance on her manhole cover. Definitely LOL. ;-)

Alice is like a vacuum cleaner today – picking up on everything she runs into. KEEP HER AWAY FROM THE MIRROR or her head will explode!She should go as a vacuum cleaner.Or as an exploding head.

One of the Pearls Before Swine readers has a brilliant suggestion for Alice’s Halloween costume. Check it out!

Petey? Ew. Alice has her standards.

She’ll be all of those things and many, many more before it’s all over.

Alice, go as a clown! You can terrify your friends, if you can avoid scaring yourself too much.

..shoot…that reminds me… gotta pick up something for my daughter’s friend’s halloween party today…. Halloween cotume panic!!!

See Pearls, she can go as Jeffy.

Petey, EW!

Or a vacuum, with an exploding head!

Hey, anybody seen DocToon or LewReader lately? I haven’t seen anything about “She who must be obeyed” or “nuclear Coffee”. Hope they’re well. Maybe just wintering in FL? I know the Arcadians are rednecks, but even they have computers, don’t they?

An old coat would certainly be an easy costume!

Alice should revisit that “I’ll be Petey” idea, When she did her impression of Petey a few weeks back, it was terrifying.

I think that Petey had an Existentialism moment :)

Dress Alice up as a mummy. Make sure you cover her mouth real good.

Weird!
