Today's Cul de Sac, November 29 Through December 7, 2010

Jeez, you turn your back for a few days and look what happens.
 They haven't used the Dress-Up Corner at Blisshaven and this may be why.
 I had this all lettered and drawn except for Kevin's last balloon. I wrote half a dozen lines for him but nothing seemed to work until it struck me that he probably looks a lot like his dad.
Alice's eyes go all blank when she's being given a lecture, like she's in strategic retreat.
 The giant Sauron Claus eyeball seemed good enough to squeeze for a few more strips. It fits Petey & Alice's darkish view of Santa as a semi-disturbed, judgmental demigod with multiple personalities.
 I wondered about that thing too.
 I so rarely get Alice's hair right that I'm always glad when I do.
 In horror movies, the unseen is always the scariest.
 I hope this is the last mention of Santa's giant eyeball, I promise. Except for today's strip.
 There.
