Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for January 23, 2021

thank you, Alice, for that interruption and that announcement

Alice, Alice, Alice……

Alice, stop bugging!

That’s one dedicated teacher who would write a review of a fourth-grade docudrama like that!

Saw this on Broadway and it was every bit as good as Petey’s teacher described it.

And here comes Alice to try to make it all about her. Reminds me of someone…… :P

This time, a little over 10 years ago, Richard posted a blog entry regarding this and the 5 prior strips:

Very good, Petey! Wonder what Viola or Ernesto would critique? Alice, stuff Polyfill in it, willya?

Finally a play to rival Waiting for Godot!

Alice!

Alice, the bubble buster.

Despite the teacher’s very descriptive review, I rather we had seen the Petey’s and Andre’s skit instead of Alice’s whining about a pet bug.

Loamy? How do you do a loamy performance?

I love the thought that the teacher wrote the fancy review because they knew Petey would love it.

It’s great to see Petey actually excited about something. I’m sure Mom is happy to have something to praise him for. And Kevin is still a stupid Buckethead!

Streaming soon on Disney+: Soil Erosion on Ice.

It’s nice to see the young artists have their talents appreciated <3

Alice when is grows up do you want to think of it as a Big bug?

And thusly two compelling storylines conclude.

Butt out, Alice. Your grumpy bile is not wanted here while Madeline is giving due praise to her first-born son for his magnificent achievement. Come back when you have stopped calling the puppy “a bug” and never call Kevin that insulting name for his towering cranium!

Now playing in a backyard near you…

Okay?

I saw this in iuts out-of-town trial, but it was only partially eroded. But it was well-soiled. Ben Platt sang the role of Clod in a gravelly voice, unlike his famously soaring range. Ms LuPone just killed as Glacier, Clod’s mother. All in all, great land fill!

A triumph—congrats, Petey!
