Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 12, 2017

better try another method, Miss Bliss

Seems perfectly reasonable to me, at least from an Alician point of view. She doesn’t get the Teddy Roosevelt bit about speaking softly, but she knows what a stick is for.

It’s Miss Bliss’s fault. She provided insufficient guidelines regarding possession and the handling of the stick, and the part about everybody getting their turn to hold it.

I have seen this animated. You can probably still find it on YouTube.

Never start with Alice. When will they learn?

Alice has gotten hold of the wrong end of the stick.

Alice is letting some of that Viking Heritage show!!

I was in a group with one member who was profoundly hard of hearing an had a little device people talked into if he was to hear them. It functioned quite well as a “talking stick”. We also had very orderly meetings.

Alice seems to be missing the point.

Just as well. (Be careful, Miss Bliss; Alice is armed!)

The talking stick turns preschool into Highlander!

This reminds me of the Festivus Pole and the Airing of Grievances.
