Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 20, 2012

Your brain may explode, Alice.

I learned from Yahoo! Answers Blog a few days ago that you can also wear blue (not just green) on St. Patrick’s Day.

Yup! Every [fill in the blank] day, Alice!—But, hark, what’s this? Petey is reading Ronald Searle instead of Little Neuro?! Clearly, this is a comic strip, not Real Life!P.S. Check out Richard’s Blog (➔) for info on this week’s guest artist!

I like Alice’s Charlie Brown eyes in panel #3 and her deer-caught-in-the-headlights eyes in the last panel.

Alice may grow up to be a female Calvin.

Maybe it’s pushing the boundaries of spelling?

Alice would fit right in as one of Ronald Searle’s “Belles of St. Trinians!”

Blue — was St. Pat a friend to the Presbyterians?

@ИOMЯOMAnd exactly why would one believe what they read on Yahoo! Answers? I would strongly suggest doing more research before you spread such rumors around. Because until you have a better source than Yahoo! Answers, it is simply that, a rumor.

Broken heart on shirt in last panel.

These weeks of substitutes make an interesting display of who gets Richard Thompson’s tone & take, and who doesn’t. Ruben Bolling got it. Mo Willems (whose books I enjoy) doesn’t.

I am enjoying the strips this week very much so far. Good job.

Great job so far!

I’m still workin’ on my 7’s

I, II, III, IV, V, VI See I can count to 6, too.

Anybody notice what happens to the heart on Alice’s shirt? Heehee.

What happened to the art work??? The latest strips are terrible.

Did anybody else notice Alice’s shirt in the last panel?

Mr. Willems is definitely channeling Charles Schulz, especially in panels three and five.

I’ve been very much enjoying the guest cartoonists and their take on Richard’s characters. Thank you all!

Such a great book. I only remember a few from it. Like flush, share, and eat cookies. Wasn’t the sequel called ‘It Was On Fire When I Laid Down’ or something like that?

did anyone notice the heart on her shirt turned into a mad face at the last strip?
