Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 07, 2012

Ergh! A wooly mint!

Don’t worry Dill, the fuzz just enhances the flavor.

a sheep mint

Alice trying to make a break for freedom. Sounds like Calvin.

It’s OK Dill…the lint adds fiber.

Alice, you don’t even have a driving license yet! Don’t take Ms. Bliss’s keys!

I’d do things like that, sometimes. I’d tell the teacher I had to use the bathroom and really go steal from a big jar of peanuts in the deserted library. : )

Wooly Gummy Bears are my personal favorite.

Is someone new drawing this strip?

ROFLMAO, Fellow Baby and Marg! And kirbey I couldn’t resist that one! I know, I can be evil when I want to be!

I can’t wait until this lazy copy-and-paste artist’s time in this comic is up.

Go Alice go! Make a break for it before the system finishes programming you!

About drawings … check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cul_de_Sac_(comic_strip)

marg, I earned my share yesterday, but like I also said yesterday, I’m not quitting my day job any time soon.

It’s an episode of Alice’s Heroes! (I can hear the snare drums of the opening theme song now…)

BLARGH!! It’s been explained in the comments day after day after day that Thompson is dealing with medical issues and some heroic few artists are stepping in to take his place over the six weeks he’ll be away for. Why u no comprehend?

@Muziton and mlevinsongomicsIf you came back to read the comments you’d realize this is a guest artist while the original artist undergoes medical treatment.

@Dry…Its Ruben Bolling (http://www.gocomics.com/tomthedancingbug/) filling in this week

Best wishes to Richard Thompson — hope he’s well, and back to Cul de Sac, soon.

ok who’s filling in? This is not the regular artist!

Lucky Ducky!!!!!

I hate to say it, but not everyone here follows this Award-Winning study of the human psyche on a daily basis. And some just barely detect a difference in the artwork. So the comments updating why this looks a bit odd are necessary to the casual observer. Or would you prefer to keep them in the dark? And never be drawn into the subtle and overwhelming beauty that is Richard Thompson’s artistically greatest creation? Meanwhile, we wish Richard the best in his treatment.

Maybe cartoonist has bad head cold – I did, went to LA and everything looked like this.

Next she’ll be digging in Tom, Dick & Harry.

I’ve always felt that, if you can determine it is, in fact, a mint, it’s ok to eat it.

Marg, Fellow Baby and I are gonna get rich, at least enough for a decent lunch! Care to join us? :-D

And I will say this AGAIN! Some of you may not like the “new” temporary look, but it is WONDERFUL that other cartoonists are doing this for Richard. AND WE ALL WISH RICHARD THE VERY BEST!

@Dry When Richard is back can you please buy us all a drink with all the money you and @grog are getting or some aspirin for the huge headache we have from the comments. I don’t comment a lot but this is just to good or weird or the pranksters are out and about ! Love all the other artist take on Cul de Sac…. cheers,

kirbey I think, both, a round of drinks and aspirin are in order. I sometimes leave here shaking my head in total disbelief when some smart guy asks where’s Richard immediately after someone has explained the situation for the 10,000th time! I give up.

Oh Richard, Please get well and save Alice’s good name. Turn her around from a life of crime! It starts innocently with mints from the teachers pocket. . . Oh the humanity!
