Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 20, 2010
Transcript:
Kids: There he is! Andre! Over here! Can you describe the playdate for us? Alice: I've prepared this artist's interpretation of the Andre-Petey playdate, which I hope you'll find useful. Kevin: It looks nothing like them. Alice: I know. I couldn't draw Petey's head, so I drew a fish-slapping bear!

Well, close enough for the press, I’d say (although, in truth, it doesn’t even look like a fish-slapping bear to me).

Actually it looks a bit like Willie Nelson.

It looks like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

I am glad Andre didn’t have to do a Perp Walk.

Andre’s loving the celebrity of it all. I’d say he’s going to be coming over again soon. I can’t wait to see what they’ll do with Loris!

this is a very enjoyable comic
Steve Parmelee Premium Member about 14 years ago
Huh. From that angle, and in that circumstance … Andre is looking a bit like Rod Blagojevich!
kjs9 about 14 years ago
Hilarious - I also immediately thought of Blagojevich.

Once again Alice finds a way to divert some of the attention to her. She’s SO ready for DC.
lazygrazer about 14 years ago
Yeah, I can see the Blagojevich look. And that fish-slapping bear looks alot like Smokey.

I knew Alice would never give up on her dreams of a fish-slapping bear! I agree, I think Petey and Andre should draw their own renditions of the playdate although I’m sure Petey’s would entail two stick figures not moving and Andre’s would feature noisy words. :)

“Once again Alice finds a way to divert some of the attention to her. She’s SO ready for DC.”
I think she is already there. Richard Thompson is from Arlington VA. The whole county is “inside the Beltway”. The county was formed by the piece of Washington DC which was taken back when VA succeeded during the Civil War.
So, as close as Alice is to DC, it probably rubs off.

Just got off the phone with my brother. He is on his way to a fishing trip in Alaska. He offered to send me a postcard.
So..I asked for a pix of a fish-slapping bear.
GROG Premium Member about 14 years ago
I’d rather see a bear-slapping fish.

@ellisaana I know!

Alice, how are you not able to draw Petey’s head? Just draw a lightbulb, and then add a face!

You’d think it was a presidential press briefing. You guys threw me with Blagojevich, but then I remembered that it was written in 2011 not 2022. But, your governor is out of jail now. A democrat that got his sentence commuted by President Trump. That cut 6 years off of a 14 year sentence!
