Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for July 01, 2020

I think it means, Alice, you won’t be able to ride in Dill’s brothers’ float and wave therefrom during the parade.

You’re not alone, Alice.

Yeah, kind of

Benny in the sky with dentures!

They’re probably confusing Ben Franklin with King Louis XVI. Common mistake.

Wouldn’t miss this comic for the world, it’s always good for a laugh. And, as today, sometimes a belly-laugh!

So! If everything had gone on as planned, Ben’s head was supposed to go airborne?

No, Alice, it’s right. Ben Franklin was known to blow his top now and then.

Dill’s brothers have a Monty Python perspective of history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d67rhIzUhhk

Dill looks SOO out of it.

Through the eyes of a child…

Reminds me of the old Swedish song about the Lincoln murder, about how “the king of Northern Amer’ca” got shot.“Then he shot the king in the noggin/ so the head flew off from his bod’/ and the blood sprayed all o’er the wallpaper/ and the chamber maid yelled ’Oh my God!” (The wording has been changed very slightly in translation, to preserve the rhyme.)

if only Dill would explain Washington DC.

Premature relocation? ☺

This one always makes me wonder when Ben Franklin’s head was SUPPOSED to fly off.

Nah.

It’s a wonder Dill has lived as long as he has. The future looks bleak for him.

No one should follow history too closely. Just like most Americans.

BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hiya Happyx3!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Good heavens! I’m so sorry for your loss, Dill. Ben’s, too.

Don’t worry yourself about it, Alice. You can wave from the sidelines of the parade instead….

I love these kids, and I actually like that we never see Dill’s brothers. It’s fun to picture them as they might be and what they might be doing!
