Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 14, 2011

Some things are just for the best, Petey. ;-)

Petey, maybe you should forget the soccer and join up with Alice and Soapy as cheerleaders!

When was Petey into self-cannabilism?

Maybe keeping Petey busy is what’s best for that “arm” condition!

Maybe you’d rather play Baseball, Petey. A whole lot less running around, unless you’re stuck in left field.

I never had to run around or kick the ball when I played soccer in school. I always played defence, so I could stand in the corner farthest from the action and hope the ball didn’t come my way!

Football Petey….FOOTBALL Soccer is for milquetoast sissys.

Mmmm. Kudzu juice. Big game tonight; Philadelphia Union at FC Dallas. Tune in tomorrow for the results.

pouncingtiger – one of the running jokes in this strip is that Petey, when confronted with frustrations beyond his control, begins to gnaw on his arm; this is usually taken more or less in stride by the family but sometimes Mom steps in to persuade him to other outlets.

Kudzu juice…they must live in the South.

Well, that mix of juices sounds … interesting.

I was born and raised right here in Alabama and I have to admit, until now I have never heard of kudzu juice for drinking. I googled it and it’s a thing. Supposed to be great for the liver!
