Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 19, 2009

Don’t spoil the plot!

That was a plot?

The plot thins.

ALICE: Make sure you stretch. We don’t want you to pull a hamstring on those high back kicks.

Priceless!

I knew it would have a rhyme.

i like the rhyme, but i think I’m still partial to the “something, something, something else, blah-dee, blah-dee dah!”

At least she doesn’t give away the surprise ending …

… it turns out the snowflake was already dead – it was a ghost and didn’t know it …

rayannina, that’s grand! Or maybe:

Snowflake: “You shoveled my father!”

Man with Shovel: “Flake, I AM your father!”

Snowflake: “NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”

(Don’t forget to vote for Cul de Sac as “Best Comic Strip of the Decade” HERE: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/comic-riffs/)

The end was a surprise but I rather like the realism.

I bet Jimmy Fretwork wrote that part.

Alice’s dad should know that even if the program is supposed to go one way – it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will work out the way it should. Kids programs, especially pre-schoolers, tend to have lives of their own and with Blisshaven it’s even more so I’m willing to bet.

How true, comics4brown!
