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.

That is scary - I thought “education” and “fun” were mutually exclusive terms…

I guess the thought of anything that could be both educational and fun can be quite scary to many.

Yes, why do you think Knowitalia never got the press the other nine did?

Knowledge is scary.

Doctor StrangeToon, that is very interesting. “Knowledge is power and power corrupts…” kind of brings up the ‘ol snake and apple story, i.e. do not eat from the tree of life and so forth. Is it actually true that ignorance is bliss? Gee, so many lines of thought here. Or maybe I drank too much coffee.

I’ve always found mathematics to be fun.
But then again, I like root canal.

terrabeth7776 - If ignorance is bliss, I know a few people that should be a lot happier.

Halloween costumes are a welcomed improvement on most of the people I know.

My ex-wife was a Knowitalia - she educated me all right, but it wasn’t actually much fun…

I posted a “Peanuts” cartoon in the freshman Biology lab iin the 1970’s:
Sally: “Try not to have a good time, this is supposed to be educational.”
It’s still there!

OMG! I actually laughed out loud at the last panel. I love Alice so much.

Dr. Strange - I love that saying you had. So much so that I put it on my signature in another forum.

Do you suppose that Miss Bliss ever shows her knowitalia to her banjo boyfriend?
