Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 15, 2025

I need Petey’s Alice in Wonderland in movie theaters…stat.

We, I would read Alice’s version of both books. Maybe a mini series?

Apart from the helicopter and the pie that’s pretty much spot on, if you include Looking Glass.

“Remember, what the doormouse said; feed your head! Feed your head!”

She isn’t really that far off at all, the baby that turns into a pig, the Chesire Cat that fades away until only his smile remains, and the dormouse in the teapot. Ok, maybe no copters.

Next you could do “Go Ask Alice.”

Oh. Hunny.

Well………..there goes Bill.

The sub-plots are what makes those stories readable.

I don’t think you need it read to you anymore, Alice.

Wait until she hears about The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

As adults, Petey helps serial killer Alice with absurdly creative methods, while Dill cleans up the mess.

Reading is fun!

I remember when Scary Gary’s honey kept disappearing and Leopold took care of it for him. It resulted in a sad day in the Hundred Acre Wood.

So Alice was an uncredited writer on Pooh: Blood and Honey?

Who had the rabies? Eeyore or the Hufalump?

Between what Petey told her and Alice’s imagination, it is hard to tell which of those ideas was which.

“I am afraid Trigger has rabies.. oh bother said Pooh. Time to get Christopher Robin…”

She must never meet Danae and Danae’s version of history.

Um, ACTUALLY it’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” that’s the title.
