Transcript:
Mom: After preschool we're going to Grandma's to help her open some jars. Alice; I'll wait in the car. Mom: No you won't. Are you scared of Big Shirley? Alice: Who? No! Big Squirrelly? I don't - is that a name? Mom: I'll protect you.
Oh my gosh, Alice’s reaction has got to be the most adorable thing ever! I love how she’s got selective memory when it comes to “Big Squirrelly.” Don’t worry, your mommy will protect you Alice.
Well, I know it definitely goes back to September 10, 2007 - that’s as far back as Gocomics takes me, anyway. Two years is a lot - but still not enough - of Cul de Sac, the reason I went “Genius” in the first place. Here’s a link to the first one:

Big Shirley looks like a giant hedgehoggy more than a big Squirrelly.

I’d also wait in the car - Grandma scares me more than Big Shirley does…

My favorite part of the strip is when the Mom says they’re going to grandma’s to “open jars” !!! Classic.

Man, I think I’m gonna go pro, or genius, or whatever it is, just so I can read the CdS archive from the beginning.
Does anyone know if the collections are complete and chronological, or just selections?

If you click that and see the comic for a second before the “You can’t read this!” message comes up, just check your browser cache… :o)

Sorry, Destiny, I didn’t think about that…
