Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 09, 2012

Nothing must disturb Petey’s atmosphere.

A sad quote I’ve seen among gamers (I’m not a gamer, by the way)“I’ve been outside. The graphics were pretty good, but the play sucked.”

I am touched by Dill’s faith in his brother (in spite of trebuchets). I am empathetic with Petey.Now, go away!

I was never a big fan of drama anyway.

I have air (con), I have books…I’m just fine

Petey appears to be reading a “Lio” book. Seems pretty exciting and adventurous, even if there is very little dialogue.

On Halloween Dill went as grocery cart herder, so of course he feels it’s his duty to gather all wayward carts. Can’t blame him for that – his sense of duty…

Cart herd to the rescue!

Alice is clearly an extrovert and Petey is DEFINITELY an introvert!

We are in the middle of a 2009 Cul De Sac rerun week.

Hi everyone!.Throughout the course of this week, I’m going to be posting six Cul de Sac tribute strips on my Sherpa strip, I’m a Dillo! I was very impressed with all of the cartoonists who pitched in for Richard several weeks ago, and I wanted to show my appreciation for Richard Thompson as well..I’ve just uploaded the third of six tribute strips. If you’re at all interested, I would love if you came to check it out!.http://www.gocomics.com/i-m-a-dillo.-Greg Trail

I love to see Dill happy and smiling!

“Human drama”, Alice? LOL!

Alice definitely creates drama wherever she roams.

“SANCTUARY!”

Just beware Petey that life doesn’t pass you by. You might find that " no one told you when to run and you’ve missed the starting gun."

Don’t worry, Petey. Reality is overrated.

“Petey is a sociopath. He will make a great serial killer someday.”IMHO, Petey is no sociopath, or possessor of an Antisocial Personality Disorder, the latest term for this disorder of which I’m aware. He’s more likely along the autistic spectrum somewhere, and shrinks from too much sensory stimulation. People with Antisocial Personality Disorder have no regard for the feelings of others and can be prone to violence. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_Personality_Disorderfor a description of this disorder in adults.

On the other hand, IMHO, Petey would seem to have a sensory processing disorder (formerly labeled as Sensory Integration Dysfunction), which makes him hypersensitive to excess stimuli and desirous of avoiding them. For a discussion of this, seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_disorder

Here’s an unsolicited plug for “The Mighty Alice” which I received yeaterday. It’s GREAT!. Buy it.
