Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 19, 2009

I love it. Dill is such a great character.

Talk about a hair raising experience.

How on earth can a four year old be BALD? Well, almost bald.

take it to vegas you can bet on anything thre

Sarah Jane, Charlie Brown was almost bald for fifty years and no-one complained! (Well, they might have, but there were no Internet fora, so who would have known if they did?)

Dill is the deal, he’s so cool!

That’s so true, ewennick, Charlie Brown was near-bald but there was no Internet forums for commentary on it. I’ve always just taken it as “this is the way it is with Charlie Brown, just like his zig-zag shirts and crazy dog!” :)

Being a devoted “Peanuts” fan, I often wonder how Schulz would have reacted to the “Comics on the Internet” phenomenon? I know he got a lot of get-well wishes from his own Website, and I think he was amazed at how popular he’d become. However, I’m sure he didn’t know how far comics on the ‘Net would grow, in terms of new comics and the ability to comment!

All I know is that Schulz started my lifelong love of comics, so I follow “my” chosen comics on the Internet daily. I’m still amazed at how comics have grown, both syndicated and not (yet!).

Oh, and Dill is just the best, even if I’m also so fond of Alice’s character too. They make a great pair! :)

Charlie Brown’s father was a barber and always gave him a crew cut.

Compulsive gambling in its infancy.

Wouldn’t a total of four “twings” make a total of four dry hairs in the last panel? I see only three.

It took me a moment to realize that was Dill!
