Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 30, 2020

Petey says a lot of oddball things

Alice, I’d be afraid that thing would try to trap you under one of those cups!

Grandma should charge the Incas storage…she would make a mint.

Because how else would you label the lost treasure of the Incas?

Don’t dismiss the possibility too easily. When my Grandma (who lived thru the Great Depression) died and we were clearing out her apartment, we found cash in places like beneath drawer liners, in books, rolled up in stockings etc…..slowed down the process considerably by making it a treasure hunt.

Those Inkas did love to skate.

As is the Arc of the Covenant, and the Holy Grail, and…

When she dies, may her cartoon soul rest in peace, mom and dad will have a whale of a time hoeing out that place.

You never know WHAT you’ll find in the basement in a box marked “Roller Skates.” My dad had a box labeled, “Tom’s dusty trophies.”

Madeline is so great as a Mom.

Luckily I will be dead, so I will not be around to hear the comments from family about all my “stuff”.

Someone is going to have a heck of a fun time cleaning our my attic when I “move on.”

EBay or any third party sellers will make you millionaires…

For years, I’ve buried cash (Map Grid A9) and other valuables in well-hidden (under the big rock) but discoverable public spaces (turn left at the McDonald’s, the one next to the Shell station) and included subtle, well-disguised clues (longitude 90, latitude 275) to their whereabouts in my GoComics comments (seventeen paces from the pirate skeleton).

Four rules to avoid this and make your life better1. Have everything you need2. Need everything you have3. Have a place for everything 4. Keep everything in its place

Sheer genius shows through whenever Madeline and Alice have a serious talk-between-equals….

OMG—that’s one of a couple of rooms of my house in Panel 2!
