Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac, is a comic strip about the life of a pre-school girl named Alice Otterloop. It is a light-hearted comic strip centered around a four-year old girl and her suburban life experiences on a cul-de-sac with her friends Beni and Dill, older brother Petey and her classmates at Blisshaven Academy pre-school. Alice describes her father's car as a "Honda-Tonka Cuisinart" and talks to the class guinea pig, Mr. Danders. She has the typical older brother who plays jokes on her, and she contemplates ways to keep the scary clown from jumping out of the jack-in-the-box with friends.

Miss Bliss seems to be the Miss Havisham of Cul de Sac.

Given what’s been said about this guy, Mom should tell Alice not to waste her time practicing.

Aiming for the face it the only thing that makes sense.

So Petey is also a product of Blisshaven. Mom has the inside info (they usually do).

Perhaps a federal investigation of Miss Bliss and her preschool operation would reveal some very disturbing things.

Alice, have you forgotten? You can’t tie a banjo man down…

I think Mrs. Otterloop may have painful memories of a Banjo Man in her OWN past. That’s why Miss Bliss’s engagement to Timmy Fretwork distresses her so much.
By the way, Steve Martin will performing (music, not stand-up) at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park next month. At least, he’s EXPECTED to appear, but who can say for sure? You can’t tie down a Banjo Man.

If Timmy Fretwork has used the same engagement ring over and over, maybe he’s just “being green” and recycling — ok as long as the ring doesn’t turn Miss Bliss’ finger green :)
And Alice, go for the face – I mean people will really remember that!
