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 would have liked to see that.

I would look worse than that. Although I probably wouldn’t be able to get in in the first place.

The difficulty is completely the fault of the puffy coat.
Normally he folds himself into and out of the car with no fuss.

Too much down to get up?

Is this a clown car?
Sort of fits … but where are the other clowns?

The only thing harder than getting a pregnant elephant into a Volkswagen is getting an elephant pregnant in a Volkswagen.

I blame it all on the down jacket. But I do wish the Honda-Tonks Cuisinart weren’t so flip about the whole thing. Can we all see Madeline brooming him into it?

I’m 6’5" tall, and my first car was a 1979 Austin Mini. When my brother and I both got out of the car, people were looking around for the rest of the circus.

Looks like a Peel P50!

It must have been used in a circus once.

Joe Flacco – MVP of the Superbowl was given a Corvette Stingray. When asked if he was going to keep it, he said he can’t fit in it but his wife (girlfriend?) loved it and he was keeping it for her.

My first experience with a mini was when two buddies and I were hitchhiking through New Zealand and a mini pulled over and offered us a ride. We thought he was joking cause there was no way three big yanks and backpacks were fitting in that tea cup- but, much to our surprise, not only did we fit, but it felt rather roomy. Loved those cars from that moment on.

I have a disability that limits my mobility. Getting in and out of my little car feels just like this.
