Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 16, 2012

I like ’em both!

CURSE YOU MARGUE! I did beat you at Pearls though.Anyways, let the Muffler win until the end, and you have to write no dialogue or plot. Just have th hero say one line at the end.

Does anyone have a guess as to how, “!!!!” is pronounced? Actually, never mind – I’m thinking that the pronunciation isn’t important just as long as it’s done really, really loudly.

Self-aware cartoon boys referencing cartoon characters! Petey and Andre are way too metaphysical for me at this late hour, but I think I like !!!!.

Andre’s going to a great superhero cartoonist some day.

Andre is Stan Lee’s protege.

I think you’re just used to the guest artists. To me, this looks more like the old Petey we know and like (love would be too, you know, feely.)

FSHPINK!??!!?!!!! No one has anything to say about possibly the best written sound effect of the year?! FSHPINK!

Yes, Don Martin was the sound effect king, but Mr. Thompson needs no help in this area. His sound effects are great!

!!!!…..How do you pronounce that? Accent grave over the “!”?

KAPWING is a ripoff of/ homage to Calvin and Hobbes’ Stupendous Man.

Does !!!! have anything to do with Captain ****?

Tilde-Tilde-Tilde

Andre has been reading old Morrison/Case Doom Patrols? That comes as no surprise! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotherhood_of_Dada#Agent_.22.21.22

SueB: Richard now just does the writing and rough breakdowns of the art. The finished art is by Stacy Curtis. So the characters look a little different, but the heart os the strip is better than ever!

…Or Kevin Smith’s Onomatopoeia??

The Muffler is the cartoonist’s nightmare! FSHPINK to him, I say!

There has to be a cameo by the band !!! (pronounced /tʃk.tʃk.tʃk/) ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/!!!

I think fshpink is the noise a pinball machine starts. You know, when you pull the thing and it goes fsh and it hits the ball and goes pink
