Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 10, 2014

Just remember, you can’t keep a banjo man down.

awkward silence? did they get on the set of the Late, late show with Craig Ferguson?

You can’t tie a banjo man down.

What did she expect, applause?

Timmy has found his bliss.

I hope he’s not just stringing her along.

she’s so lucky to find something…real!

When that happens to me, the silence is okay. It’s the awkward that I don’t like.

Ha-Ha ;) Good one! So funny to see kids discovering ‘an awkward silence’!

That’s not an awkward silence—this is an awkward silence

Gives her a thrill when his fingers run up and down her neck. .(But it’s the right hand that sealed the deal.)

That’s OK, Dill, I’ve never heard an awkward silence either…

Banjo music is perfect for filling those moments of awkward silence…

I love the way her ring went “bling.”

That Miss Bliss is just a glutton for punishment

O, joy! O, rapture unforeseen! Miss Bliss has “blinged”!Why should the preschoolers know how to react to the news? The silence is awkward, if for anyone, only for Miss Bliss, who is too taken with raptures of Timmy Fretwork to notice! Visions of banjos dance in her eyes!

Mr. Thompson pointed to this and this when this strip first ran here in 2009.

I suppose with his brothers, Dill hasn’t heard any kind of silence that often…
