Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 31, 2022

must’ve taken a pretty large lump of clay and a pretty large potter’s wheel to make that urn

Petey, you’re so macabre …

You could sleep in that…………

Did’ja ever notice whenever these two are together, they have absolutely no interest in what the other’s focusing on, be it physical, mental or verbal?

Petey might grow up to be the next George Romero, zombie movie director.

Peaty, the dead people are still there. They are waiting to attack you.

Well if they escaped you’d have to be more worried about the area outside the store

You’d need something with a roof on it to use it for your room Alice.

What’s the big one for, group cremations?

The dead people left, Petey, because they heard Alice coming.

Alice, that urn is bigger than daddy’s car. Maybe just use it as your new room.

I like that the fence has barbed wire at the top, like someone is going to try and carry that monstrosity over the fence.

Petey is projecting his paranoia. Alice is projecting in an entirely different way. That big pot wouldn’t even fit into the Otterloop cul de sac house!

Alice, that could BE your room!

This place is a cat’s delight. Imagine them playing “I Could Fit Inside That” all day.

I was just at a garden store, where they had a couple of these urn-shaped things in addition to all the plants in ho-hum clay and plastic containers. They called them Memorial Pots, which brings to mind the saucepan that held someone’s last meal.

Petey has some classics but I think that is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen him say.
