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.

The poor boy can’t have any fun.

I knew Dill was “nuts”. He always puts himself into a pickle.

The Imagination is strong in this one!
There seem to be residual particles of squirrel’s nest in his hair!

How was the weather up there, Dill?

Alice is right. Tall is an unnecessary state of mind.

But it is so much fun to pretend.

The world is cooler when you’re short. When I was little my grandmother lived in a house with a huge porch with massive columns. My brother and I could play hide and seek around them. When I was an adult and happened to see that house again, the porch was a tiny thing you could barely get a couple of chairs on, and the columns were just thin poles holding the porch roof up. Was much cooler as a kid.

Oh Neatslob, what you say is so sad and true. The fences are shorter, the monuments are smaller, the scary movies are no longer scary, Disneyland is no longer magical.

Harlan Ellison wrote a great story, “Jeffy is 5,” on the subject.

Once we were small but now we are tall. Such is how perspective changes one as it is changed. Youth is a state of mind since the body still gets old.

“The world is cooler when you’re short.”
Maybe so, but a crowded elevator smells nicer when you’re tall.
