Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 08, 2009

God, I love this comic! Alice is too adorable for words… :)

The boys know by now to be discrete where Alice is concerned….

They better be discrete if they know what’s good for them.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry but ….

I figure as long as we’re nice about it we can learn from each other …. huh? huh? Besides - i had to check the online dictionary to be sure there were two different spellings ……

Even with the summer vacation, the boys haven’t forgotten the ”Alice Book of Rules”? LOL

I saw the spelling was wrong, but knew the intended direction of the statement.

and lookie… a fresh jar of paste is on the table! and open scissors to run with!! wheeeeee~

good one rricchterr!

oh goody the new jar of school paste, just right for snack time

The first 2 panels are so sweet… I think sometimes we forget how much Alice is still a little girl with a loving mum.

Brought back some sweet memories this morning, Thank You !

This is exactly how I feel today after taking a week off work. Poor Alice.

When in doubt, pull a Sgt. Schultz.

“I KNOW NOTHING!”

Hipster “I know nooooothing” and “I see noooothing” were some of Schultz’ more memorable lines on Hogan’s Heroes.

rricchhterr: I liked that one.

And cheers once again to a great cartoon and cartoonist.

The truth: Alice was just afraid of being indoctrinated by the Obama speech… ;-)

that was me on my first day of kindergarden
