Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for July 06, 2012
Transcript:
Alice: Are you still drawing a comic about that stupid picnic? Petey: Yes! I've just reached the peak of the excitement - where I eat a whole pickle slice and a bee shows up. Alice: That wasn't the exciting part! How about when Inez knocked over the condiment table? Or when Marcus got sick after eating hot mustard? Or when Mom made me put on my shoes! Petey: Y'know, I think the whole "excitement" thing eludes me.

It’s too much for you, Petey. Remain calm.

I’m still wondering how Alice (allegedly) got paint in her hair.

Calm is the secret, Petey! Some call it Zen. Some call it Cool. It is the gift!

A bee is plenty enough excitement for one picnic.

Her first two examples might be considered disasters. So does she think having to put on her shoes is also a disaster? Or maybe it was exciting because she threw a tantrum?

She threw a tantrum because putting shoes on was a disaster. Also, about the paint in hair – kids that age who paint can get paint everywhere!

Was Mr. Otterloop derelict in his duties as condiment monitor? Allowing Inez to knock over the condiment table? Shocking.

In other news, I saw someone who looked exactly like Miss Bliss yesterday. She was driving a pest control vehicle.

That’s the way all bees look to me.
