Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 14, 2020

like Petey’s eating habits, Alice sure is picky on her presents

I guess Alice is kind of a female Calvin…

It’s cute that Senior let Junior in on the joke at Alice’s expense and Petey gave an approving hearty laugh.

Have the store wrap a big old box in very ornate paper and decoration. There, Alice. Great packaging!

Why bother with forks, just grab

Alice illustrates the practical and preferred method of gift giving… and getting.

That will change when you get your own kids (heaven forbid!)

Richard was so good.

The Rest of the Known Universe? Still too small… ☺

A victim of Consumerism at age four, Alice is bewitched by pretty packaging, regardless of what is in it.

Peter and Petey should carry on!

Dad’s suggestion, while certainly eye opening, is supremely depressing.

Over her head.

And Petey has 3 equally spaced, non touching, different food items on his plate.

A rare moment of mirth from Petey, so sweet in his own way. A real zinger from Peter! Here’s hoping it will dawn on Alice in a few years.

Book her a session in the Total Perspective Vortex, but make sure it’s the pocket-universe one created for Zaphod Beeblebrox (and reprogrammed for Alice accordingly, of course). It will confirm her assumption that she is the singlemost-important person in the entire (pocket) universe, plus she gets to eat a piece of fairy cake.

Is Alice always shown as a lefty?
