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 wouldn’t provoke an AliceSaurus like that if I were you, Miss Bliss.

ok, not relevent to today’s strip, but I heard a rumour that Petey has autism. Is that true, if anyone would know?

Will Miss Otterloop be the next to be fooled?

Sigh! Poor Alice. Just like at the Oscars. No long-winded thanking of mom, dad, brother, stuffed animal, friends, and every reader of Cul de Sac, or you get the hook!
Fuzzy pink dinosaurs seem to have been kinda ruthless.

Alice may be on to something, I read in the paper they now believe the T-rex had feathers.

@Lightningsnowstorm
I have not heard any rumours but I have often thought that Petey displays some of the symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome, which is a type of autism. Aspergers’ people are highly intelligent but the anti-social thing is a bit of a give-away. Another thing that is a symptom is not allowing their food to touch or not mixing certain colours of food. Over to you, Richard Thompson or are you just going to keep us guessing?

Careful, Alice. Learn not to hog the stage. You don’t want to grow up to be Bono.

Bet Miss Bliss goes through a bottle of Muscatel after every show and tell day.
