Christmas With the Otterloops!

« Gaah! » — Petey Otterloop

Given that it’s Christmas Eve, it seems fitting to parade some of our favourite things, and Richard Thompson‘s (not to be confused with his musical homonym) Cul de Sac (not to be confused with Mr. Polanski’s 1966 psychological thriller) belongs front and centre in that festive cavalcade.

I’ve gathered most of the yule-themed Cul de Sac Sundays… one of these days, I might devote an entire post to Madeline Otterloop’s Christmas sweater dailies.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
