Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 28, 2018

Once again, 10 years ago, a blog entry referenced this strip:

what a horrible Halloween for Alice

Alice never listens to anyone. She would be a lot happier if she paid attention.

better nougats than noogies…

She got pink bat wings to go with her ears. I don’t know what color pterodactyls were so maybe that’s what she is.

I think she looks more like a butterfly. The ears looks in antennae.

That rain of candies in panels 5 and 6 is so, so good.

I see the state your in – pique a BOO!

Kind of anticlimactic for such a long buildup

i always seemed to get too many Jolly Ranchers and Banana Chews…. yuk!

The box, Petey. And the sister.

A great strip, though a minute after reading it, I started to question whether anything in the world would cause a child to lose control of candy on Halloween.

It could have been worse for Petey. He is so much like Charlie Brown sometimes, I’m surprised he didn’t get any rocks. I do have to say that I’m glad he didn’t. That always upset me when it happened to ol’ CB

One year I got a bottle of glue!

Oh what disgruntled bliss! Another Halloween to remember!

Alice isn’t happy anymore. She made a great vampire-fairy.

Nougats are vile! So sorry, Petey!

Alice, stop guilting Daddy. You were forewarned! You’re four years old now: don’t be a big baby!

What are the odds Alice swapped her nougats out for Petey’s other candy. Interesting she did it without being caught.
