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 don’t know any kid who hold onto their Halloween candy for 2 weeks, let alone 2 YEARS!!!

Bravo — I hope that all of the guest contributors have this kind of feel for the strip.

I second that emotion.

Wow! Looks like the dog must have gotten into Alice’s room and utterly destroyed it.
What? They don’t have a dog?

That looks more like Mr. Simon Skunk to me.

Don’t think we’ve ever seen Alice’s room before.

I would usually eat my Halloween candy in one night. Don’t know of any kids saving it for years!

Today’s strip was written by my 9-Y-O daughter (who also voices Alice in the animated shorts)…and she wrote the gag from a real conversation she and I had while looking for a sweater in her room…in reality? The candy was still in the bucket, half eaten AND there was a Christmas gift unopened! She took the original cartoon to her fourth grade class today for show and tell. Signed, a proud papa.

You’ve never been to our house! The twins room got so bad my husband actually hung the beds from the ceiling to keep them from putting stuff under them.

Sounds like someone has inherited your talent and is following in your footsteps!

Well if it gets lost in the rubble of the room, it’s possible, isn’t it? :-D
