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.

Peter Otterloop, Sr., you know the story about Halloween, but you don’t want to frighten your daughter!

Just don’t get Petey started about the crucified bunny behind Easter.

Petey knows the kind of story that will help Alice go to sleep; apparently Peter does not….

You’d think that Petey would have a later bed time.

First you need to find a very sincere Pumpkin Patch, one that is sincerely infested with Zombies…

Peteys partially correct, it does placate Zombies, but let’s not forget that dreadful “Uh-Oh” baby . .!!

On my day to day today, Miss Bliss is taking the children to Old McGhoulish’s Haunted Farm Corn Maze.

Of course it has a story. Christians have a holiday to honor all the saints of yore, called “All Saints’ Day”, or alternatively “All Hallows’ Day”. The evening before, in a holdover from the Jewish practice of beginning a day at sunset the night before, was called “All Hallows’ Eve” (just as Christmas Eve is the evening before Christmas). Through common usage, it went through “All Hallows’ E’en” to “Hallowe’en”

Halloween also has many origins in the Pagan Holiday known as Samhain
