Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 15, 2017

Mrs. Otterloop not being able to bend down is like Randy Parker not being able to put his arms down because Mrs. Parker over-bundled him up.

Once again, 10 years ago this was accompanied by a blog entry:

As it says, there’ll be more tomorrow.

Also, at least one (the twins on the elevator) earlier this week, was among the 53 chosen to be animated in 2011-12, that I pointed to last Friday (I won’t be noting that each time).

Madeline is the doyenne of the ugly Christmas sweater.

Is she going to an “ugly as hell” xmas sweater party? And the winner of this year’s …..

So this is a hard armored Christmas sweater? I mean, sheer ugliness wouldn’t bend Alice’s nose out of shape.

I wonder if the sweater is made out of Mithril?

I’ll bet that she bumped her nose on a battery pack.

Happy Ugly Sweater Day! (The third Friday of December)

Does she have a license for that ?

OH BOY! It’s the (spoiler alert)=============================================================

electric sweater with the scrolling holiday messages and scenes. I’ve tried to find one for years to get for my mother (lies, all lies, you want it for yourself—be quiet). I am amazed that no one has ever grabbed the idea and created one. I’ll bet they would sell like crazy.

Those batteries are pretty darn hard! And the sweater doesn’t even work correctly! Sorry, Alice….
