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.

Um, if you’re carrying around a bomb, don’t blame someone else if you’re the one to pull the trigger.

It’s the mild-mannered ones you have to watch for.

She got a real charge out of that.

You need to be isolated from everything else better. The weaker the isolation, the better your chances of being zapped before the charge can really build. I was at a science museum a little while ago where kids were allowed to touch a van de graaff generator, and it was funny watching the really long hair on girl’s heads standing straight up. Afterward, the exhibit guide would safely discharge the static by using a metal rod to ground. Nice-sized spark off the rod, too.

Another repeat, though one of my favorites.

At times, I’ve had so much static electricity of my own I could make my hair follow my comb above my head, without touching it directly. It’s weird to see that!
