Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for August 08, 2011

This appears to be an older Cul-De-Sac.

The start of Pete’s comic about real life experiences at the Otterloop’s?

I adore this one!

Alice the Bee Charmer.

Now, Alice, work on controlling Dill’s mind.

So, Dill still wears a diaper, eh?

its a classic – 2007

The fine print (between panels 2 and 3) reveals this strip to be originally from 2007. But Alice the Bee-Whisperer (or -Pointer) is relevant to the recent hornet incident. BTW, we had rain today: wipey, wipey went the windshield wipers of my sub-compact….

Yeah, this whole week is going to be repeats. Richard said so in his blog.

It’s good to get to see some of the older strips, being I am a relatively new reader to Cul-de-sac

I think you just got lucky on this one Alice.I’m only a few months into Cul de Sac too so repeats are fine for me !

Well this one contradicts a more recent strip. I too, don’t mind the repeats. I wasn’t reading this strip in ’07.

I have read the strip from the beginning, but I truly don’t mind repeats. Every single strip is adorable, I don’t think I have ever liked a comic as much as I have likes Cul de Sac :-)

The Bee Whisperer!

Uh oh! Looks like Mr Richard is on vacation!It is a good pick for a re-run though. Alice is awesome!

Love this one!

…I can’t even control my mime with my mind ….

As I’ve said before, they don’t make cartoonists like they used to. At least Thompson hasn’t taken any “sabatticals” yet. (Although I wish Trudeau had never come back from the one he took.)

Maybe this is a rerun because CdS is visiting Elderberries today? Check it out!

Cul de Sac is the best comic strip out there, on a par with Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes. Richard, you’re doing a great job & deserve some time off. Familiar CdS repeats are still better than most other current strips.

My newspaer says at the top of the strip that Cul de sac is on vacation this week :0, I like the older strips as well

Corey Pandolph grabs the ball and runs with it when Butterfingers Thompson flubs http://www.gocomics.com/theelderberries/2011/08/08

Great crossover at Corey’s Elderberries, Richard!

I think it’s odd how I see no difference when I read forwards or backward but when I see an old one compared to the new one it looks so different, the mind is odd.
