Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 12, 2012

Mowing the lawn is quite the event at the Otterloops’.

A roommate of my brother has a “Foxtrot” book. This “Cul de Sac” is reminding me of when Paige repeatedly loses a boot in the deep, deep snow.

Be careful, Alice! Don’t let some thing lurking in the tall grass grab your toe!

Oh, the nostalgia.

I just realized that Alice’s Dad is Snuffy Smith.

Without the mustache and hat of course.

I thought she was going to make some insightful comment on the mown grass.

… oh to be young again… and ROMP!

Hello, Cul de Sac fans!.I’ve just reached the end of my six day tribute to Cul de Sac, being held at the site of my Sherpa strip, I’m a Dillo! I was very impressed with all of the cartoonists who pitched in for Richard several weeks ago, and I wanted to show my appreciation for Richard Thompson as well..I’ve just uploaded the last of six tribute strips. If you’re at all interested, I would love if you came to check it out! Thank you to all of you who have done so already!.http://www.gocomics.com/i-m-a-dillo.-Greg Trail

I haven’t gone “romping” in such a long time….

Obviously she doesn’t live in the south or she’d be covered in chigger bites now!

Speaking of nostalgia….I lived a block away from a huge field of wheat grass. You know, the kind of stuff that you bring home on your socks, pants, hair and anything else they stick to! We loved it, but our mom’s sure didn’t!

We had a quarter acre backyard when I was a kid, and the grass would grow nice and long in the Spring before Dad cut it the first time. It was wonderful! It was my Sherwood Forest, or my Fortress of Solitude (green instead of ice) or Zorro’s secret entrance, or Phantom’s jungle. Happy memories!

Keep in mind this is Alice, not Petey…!

Odor Eaters.

Romping is best done barefoot anyway.
