Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 26, 2012

Welcome back, Richard, and welcome Stacy!

For the sake of mankind……….let it not be a plastic whistle.

Hell hath no fury like Alice scorned.

Welcome back, Richard! Nice to see your signature in the corner of a new comic.

And a big thanks to those sweethearts who filled in these past weeks. :)

Yay, Richard’s back! The other guys were great, but none can beat RT when it comes to Cul de Sac. :)

So no Stephan Pastis?? I think I’m gonna go cry now…I’d been looking forward to his week since I found out about the guest artists :’(

I think that Stephan was being attacked by East Coasters at the time, and he never got those strips drawn…

I am very glad to see RT back, Alice and the gang (especially Dill) never looked right drawn by anyone else

Alice, keep it up and mom will take the quarter back.

I’m not sure I would have liked to see Pastis’ take on CdS.

Again, welcome back, Richard

Welcome back, Richard! Long live the king! And welcome also to Stacy!Alice! Be nice to your new plastic whistle!

………………………………………………………………………………………………I think there may still be a Pastis Sunday strip queued up; that was supposed to be his contribution (rather than a week of dailies), as I understand it.

Dunno who Stacy is, but the artwork is wonderful. Richard, it’s great to have your humor back.

Taking inanimate objects to task is one of my favorite past times also.

Welcome back, Rich!

All’s right with the universe! Beautifully drawn, hilarious home coming.

Welcome back, Richard; great comic today.

Welcome back Richard!! Your strip is genius!

Welcome back!

Welcome back, sir!! You have been missed! Your friends did a great job, though.

Welcome back. We all missed you.

Welcome back Richard!

… who knew little cute ALice had such a temper!

Welcome back!

Richard and Stacy do make a great team. I did sense that something was a bit different – heavier lines, or something – but it’s still great.Re: The content, when dragging up to four grandkids around to grocery stores, etc.,I get tons of requests for quarters to get tschotskes or rides. My reply: “Grandma doesn’t do machines.”

Welcome back Richard we missed you.

It is good to have you back Richard

Schoen, dass Du wieder da bist. Lovely to have you back. Thank you to Stacy also for your assistance.

I think Richard heard Pastis was going to do the strip and decided he better get well fast. And I hope you are well. Welcome back!

Thanks to you all for the kind words. It’s good to be back. Enormous thanks to those 6 talented cartoonists who kept the strip rolling along. And yes, Stephan Pastis did a Sunday strip to run in a few weeks

Me too—happy to see You back and welcome to Stacy!

Richard, as the parent of a newbie children’s book illustrator, thank you for the nice words about children’s book illustrators!Best wishes for a great partnership with Stacy!

Kids can be predictable at times.

The creator has returned!

Thanks, everyone.Happy to be here assisting Richard on his wonderful comic strip.

Cul de Sac has great fans!

I think the subs did a great job in his absense and it sure beats seeing reruns.

So Happy to see Richard’s hand in this again:-) Wecome “Home”

My favorite week was when Lincoln Peirce filled in. And I didn’t know Stephen filled in on Sunday!

Welcome back Richard! Better not be another plastic whistle.

Me too saying Welcome Back Richard.

Silly girl, you cannot threaten a vending machine. They are fearless in the face of children.

It was such a nice surprise to see Richard back today! The strip does look a bit different, but I like it. Besides, a little change is a small price to pay to have the creator back!

welcome back

I don’t see comics until late in the day but I reiterate the welcomes for your return, Richard. I HAVE enjoyed the take on your strip by your guest artists and they’ve been wonderful in their own right. Welcome to Stacy also. May health be your blessing!

Give the plastic whistle to Petey so he can put it with the rest of them in his shoebox diorama!

Stacy Curtis has a great background and is a fantastic illustrator and cartoonist. His inking is a natural fit for Richard!

Welcome back, Richard. Great to see your work again.

Awesome to see the master back! I really enjoyed the guest cartoonists, but there’s no substitute for the real deal. Welcome back Richard! Cul de Sac is my favorite comic and my day wouldn’t be the same without it!

I remember as a kid asking my mom for the same thing. However I had a dino dinosaur one that bawked and turned in circles before it laid a plastic egg with a toy inside.

Smiling to see Richard back! And thanks to Stacy for helping with the dailies – looks good!

the humor was just wrong in the hands of other people!

Welcome back :)!!!
