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.

I have become such a fan of this strip in the last several months. I love Peter and Alice, and Dill too.

His face practically inflates in the third panel. Frankly, it’s terrifying.

A young Alex P. Keaton in the making.

Still no proof yet that our boy Ernesto isn’t a figment of Petey’s overwrought psyche. Doesn’t make him any less wonderful, though. Love the sweater-vest and tweed blazer.

The shape of Ernesto’s head makes him look kind of like a child version of John Hodgman.

I can’t help but hear Ernesto’s voice as the voice of Martin Prince on the Simpsons. But I like the John Hodgman nod.

I started reading this strip during the “petting zoo trip” sequence - and quicly became my favorite! After this (short) time, I realized this was filling the void that was left by the end of Calvin & Hobbes!

For a figment of Peters imagination, Ernesto is pushy.

Oh, Ernesto is no figment! He’ll prove that eventually.

This comic makes getting the “Genius” tag worth it for me, just to be able to go all the way back to 2007.
