Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 01, 2016

Is there a problem with Mister Spinnerack? (Sounds like Pokémon of the second-generation games Gold/Silver/Crystal versions Spinarak.)

Is that not Timmy Fretwork? I must be losing my grip …

What’s wrong with him being somebody you don’t know? That way, you can try the same thing in a different matter.

The Washington Post has printed another artists tribute to Richard.

Can’t tie down a Banjo man!

RIP Richard Thompson

That is Dan Spinnerack’s nephew.

And how long has Petey been called "Pete? "

( I stole Loris’s question from several days from now)

It’s not Timmy Fretwork, but Mr. Spinnerack. All will be explained tomorrow. :)

It’s the Cartooniverse Petey. You get to live the same year over and over again, but you have to do it in different ways.

I see Petey’s reputation precedes him.

No, the new teacher is Miss Bliss’s new boyfriend…

Thank you for the brilliance of Cul de Sac, Mr. Thompson. You will be missed. May you rest in peace.

At my summer camp the director turned out to be the elementary school principal! Talk about GAH!!

Spinnerack…the free-standing merchandise display used for comics is known as a spinner rack.

Maybe THAT’S the Ghost of Haight-Ashbury Past….

Its wierd… I kinda been waiting for some tribute to Richard Thompson but other than the Dark Horse comic, I haven’t seen any.

I love Petey’s stance in the second panel.

Poor, dear Petey! He actually enjoyed cartoon camp last summer (!) and was looking forward to it this summer(!!), but now it’s not directed by his favorite Mr Spinnerack….

Hadn’t heard the sad news until tonight. RIP Richard Thompson, immortal in his art. What a wit and talent. Peace and love to his family and friends.
