Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 24, 2012

WHERE ARE THE FLYING CARS?!?

Spin around like a top. It will look better.

Walk in either direction, the future is already in progress.

I don’t know what Alice thinks The Future should look like. But it lies in every direction that one can actually go. Go, Alice!

At least now we know what color Dill’s hat is.

The future never looks like it’s supposed to.

This guy is doing a really good job…does it appear that the readership has gone down?

Do what the rest of us do here in 2112 … walk in a circle.

Need the pill to turn water to gasoline….quick!

Thank you, Michael Jantze, for the great job you’ve done this week!

Yes, I concur with Marg! You have done a GREAT job, Michael, and I’m sure Richard is enjoying your panels this week.

Wow – deep, Alice.

I agree! Excellent job capturing the essense of this strip this week, Michael Jantze! It was quite enjoyable having you (and your daughter) as a guest cartoonist! And thank you for helping a friend!

If you wait long enough, the future comes to you.

Alice is especially profound today.

I didn’t realize there is a guest-drawer. I just thought they were old strips. I am very impressed.

today is only yesterdays tomorrow.(Uriah Heep)

Tomorrow is just your future yesterday.

BTW: flying cars are coming, we got hang on the wall TVs didn’t we?

I’m waiting for a Jetson’s house. Great work this week with the strip Michael. You are a great artist and friend.

Thanks, all! It was a kick to crank out some dailies again. My Sunday will run 3-18-12. I’m looking forward to next week…and the next month.

For all the other guest artists, I mean. And you can follow my old syndicated strip at gocomics.com/thenorm/ — Cheers!

While I am glad that Richard gets months and months off (between reruns and now guest artists) I am not loving the strip having a rotating different look AND different writing. I will put my reading on hiatus too!

Re: Blog and stuff….Just read today’s blog and must agree with the back-cover blurbs! Your work is a rare treasure, Richard [I didn’t know who the artist was when I was a subscriber to the old print U.S. Snooze, but I loved the Whispers-illustrations; and now Cul de Sac is one of the top five current comic strips, I do really believe].And thanks plus congratulations to Michael Jantze (and daughter) for a great week of guest-strips!

beautiful logic
