Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 17, 2022

was that a size 17 shoe or something?

That box is a better fit for Da Vinci’s Last Supper than Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, just sayin’.

What a kind, thoughtful sister Alice is.

I paint like Jackson Pollic. (Doubt I spelled his name right.)

Petey is more excited with his box than a cat would be with a box.

Looks like it held boots (the tall “fashion” type)

Is this the first time Petey’s eyes have been more than just tiny dots?

Who is drawing these strips? They don’t look like Richard Thompson’s work

Gotta love a good hat

that was sweet of Alice to do that for him. :D

What a nice sister!

In the last panel. “Que Mozart’s Requiem”…

that was quite sweet of Alice

That look of pure joy on his face in panel 2 :)

Judging by the size of the box, Mom is going full blown cowgirl with a pair of boots!

Just who was Pope Sixtus, anyway?

This would have been appreciated by RT!

I think Lincoln Peirce is my favorite of the guest artists.

Dad was a former NBA star.

I love Alice!!!

It’s rare we get to see Petey so expressive, and for two whole panels, with different emotions! Is that astonished pleasing awe, and quite expectant fervor with a dash of muse wooing. And now that I look again, even panel one is a slight piquant interest. Eventually, he’ll need a lie down after all this excitement.

And Alice so cute and thoughtful. (Take that, haters!)

“Is everybody happy?” (Olde Time comic catch-phrase.)

—Especially Petey, My Hero, with scope for a diorama masterpiece (thought the Sistine Chapel is relatively small)!
