Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for July 08, 2021

don’t you just love kids’ short-term memories?

The purpose of having a sidekick is to accentuate your perfections to others, right, Alice?

Just like you; only prettier.

Alice has a mind like a steel trap. Rarely used and rusty.

I wonder if the “3 Amigos” (Loris, Petey and Andre) will attend cartoon camp again?

They’ll remember if it’s rude and it rhymes….Selective Short Term memory…I read a Kliban rhyme (There’s that pesky Halley’s Comet, It makes me sick I want to vomit) to my son at age 4…he heard it once and has been quoting it regularly ever since. He is now 46.

Like a lathered-up couch? ッ

By any chance is it the same summer camp that Charlie Brown, in the recent Peanuts arc, was avoiding?

I’m finding it hard to wrap my head around the fact that Alice is perpetually four years old but her school year begins and ends and she goes to summer camp every year. Haven’t her parents noticed that they’re stuck in a time loop?

I have to wonder what kind of thrill it would be to go to day camp at the same exact place you go every day for play school. Yawn.

Sofie (a.k.a. Soapie, Sofy, Sofa, etc.) is the BFF you wouldn’t share your mulch with while watching Petey’s soccer game. Remember that?
