Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for July 01, 2018

Oh, Richard Thompson. Those were very well written. Miss you since Sixteen.

The man was a genius. The Mozart of comic strips.

Did he borrow the book title? “A Child’s Garden of Grass”- Jack S. Margolis.

Something I wrote a few years ago;

My first haiku. Not

the best of efforts. I shall

try to do better.

I just noticed that the last panel in this strip is also a haiku. Very cool stuff.

This is the Sunday Special Haiku Comic.

Mother Goose married Dr. Seuss, so Ren and Stimpy gave way to Family Guy and American Dad. Not much of that rhymes, and yes, I’m glad. Not even iambic pentameter. On to Andy Capp.

Petey sounds like he is reviewing a fine wine ;)

Richard Thompson is…

The genius of geniuses.

Do you not agree?

Love it!

happiness is a, haiku fitting perfectly, the very first time

Petey does haikuParaphrased for his sisterAlice unimpressed.

Quoth Alice, I likeSnow White better only MYFoot in the slipper.

Or else the three bearsBut only if they agreeTo eat up Miss Bliss.

And once they are doneBuckethead Kevin is nextRight down to his bail.

I really appreciate his use of classic syllabification. Yes, Richard was of the royal comic blood.

I think at four I’d prefer “Mother Goose” to “A Child’s Garden of Haiku”; today, I’d prefer “The Space Child’s Mother Goose”….

I think we all miss Richard and his genius very much indeed!

These haikus were fun

and reveal Richard’s talent.

I miss him as well.
