Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 01, 2012

Beni nailed you, Alice!

It was all 3 of you

The YAYs have it.

Snow way…

Alice’s look of guilt is as good as a confession! She has intimidated the snow into staying away! (Speaking of which, we in Chicagoland have had two consecutive days of spring-like, 50+ F weather, and have more 40+ days in prospect.)

They all have pretty big mouths, too. They’re equally responsible

It’s been that kind of winter around here, too.

Just a response to yesterday. thanks to those that confirmed that R Thompson is away and that the ‘toons are repeats. It is apparent that these are reruns, fills as it were, which usually means the author is away on vacation. Vacation isn’t a point of sarcasm “DRY” it is a natural part of a normal working life.

To be honest, however, I did not need to know Mr. Thompson’s personal information. Now that I do, I wish him well…and I apolgize to him for the intrusion into what is a private matter. He and I are not friends, family, or acquaintances. He is merely the guy who draws a cartoon that I enjoy.

I will come back to this cul de sac in mid February.

Ohhh, I can see it now!!!! Ron Howard sees the light and finally decides to come out with a fun-filled animated sequel to ‘Backdraft’! ‘Updraft: even snowflakes aren’t safe’.

reruns or not it’s still better than most of the toons running today.

Beni better hope that Alice is too distressed to process what he just said.

That’s such a shame about Richard Thompson…Parkinson’s is a tough disease. Ironically, I do believe Charles Schulz suffered from Parkinson’s too…it can’t be easy on a person whose life’s work depends on drawing! :(

Thanks, you all, for the good wishes. The therapy is going so well that I’ve doubled my time at pen nib mumblety peg. I hope to be back soon.

Richard thank you so much for taking time to visit with us. God Speed that all will be well for you. Your fans, and invisbile friends here, wish you all the best!

go richard :)

Talk about repeats? MY LAST 2 YEARLY DESK CALENDARS AT WORK ARE THE DAY TO DAY CUL DE SAC! Great way to start my workday, thank you very much!

Thanks margueritem. it was your comment that suggested Mr. Thompson was out on a health break. For me, that was sufficient.

Nice to see also that Mr. Thompson responds, meaning he reads the comments. Well done, Not many cartoonists have that courage.

Congratulations on a consistently well done strip. Sorry to hear I don’t deserve to read it, although, deserving or not, I will continue. I will just go back to skipping the comments.
