I just found Cul de Sac a few months ago and find out thru Betty that Richard Thompson, the creator of Cul de Sac, is gone. Truly sad. Thanks Gary & Gerry for your tribute.
I met Richard when he was a college student doing work that he sold at Science Fiction conventions. He was brilliant then and his work is STILL brilliant — and although he grew older, a good part of him NEVER grew up — which is why Cul de Sac was SO wonderful. Rest in Peace, my long-ago friend.

Why is it that we know more about people after they are dead? Seriously, that sucks!

One of the great draftsmen, and a genius at character creation! We’ve lost so much with Richard’s passing.

I see a resemblance to Calvin and Hobbes in the last panel. Also, he gave up his comic long before his death.

Nice. Richard Thompson never got the recognition he deserved during his life. Parkinson’s sucks.
