Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 09, 2010

I love this comic!

An escapee from the Isle of Misfit Toys!

It doesn’t zip when it moves, bop when it stops, whirrr when it stands still? Dill doesn’t know just what it is, and I guess he never will!

Very good, SCOTTtheBADGER.

I’ve had days like that.

I hope to see it in “Toy Story 3.”

Something ugly that sighs, groans, spits, sparks and farts….sounds just like something my ex used to drag around.

I like Dill so much.

I just love Dill! I want to give him a big hug.

Good we are not toys!

So that’s what Chuck Berry’s ding-a-ling looks like

I always wondered what kids would want a toy from the Island of Misfit Toys. I should have known Dill would be one of them.

Other than the train with square wheels (which wasn’t just a misfit, it was non-functional), I thought the Misfit Toys were pretty cool. Then again, I think Pixar missed a sure hit when they didn’t market a “Buzz Lightyear/Mrs. Nesbitt Tea Party Action Playset.”

That DOES look like something from under Sid’s bed in Toy Story 1, doesn’t it?

The “Sid’s Toybox” collection was another missed bet. A set of toy parts that can be matched into a number of identifiable items, but can also be mixed into disturbing conglomerations…

You’d think Pixar would have learned by now to check with me on these things, but so far they haven’t called. (Guys, I can get to Emeryville on an hour’s notice, 24/7. I’ll even do what I can to reconcile John Lasseter and Chris Sanders. Heck, I’ll empty your trash cans if it’ll get my foot in the door, and give me access to the company store.)

Sounds like Edward Gorey was working at Fisher-Price

Thank you SCOTTthe BADGER. Couldn’t remember the words to that song and you helped:-)

Dill’s substitute for an old dog.

Sounds like the perfect toy for Petey.

It’s an (in)action figure of the first guy I lived with!

Its a panel like the last few that make me glad the Washington Post is running CdS on “Style” page 2 next to Doonesbury - we get to see it in color in the morning paper! You ROCK Richard!

Hey, Dill, it might make a good cat toy (maybe for a slightly deranged cat, but still….)

Too cute, Dill!
