Suburban life will never be the same again as Richard Thompson, cartoonist of Cul de Sac, combines comic strips from his first collection, Cul de Sac, and his 2009 collection, Children at Play, in a hilarious compilation Cul de Sac Golden Treasury: A Keepsake Garland of Classics (Andrews McMeel Publishing).
Cul de Sac takes a lighthearted look at suburban life through the eyes of precocious preschooler Alice Otterloop. Adventures in preschool, the importance of Halloween costumes, and family vacations to the beach all take on new meaning in this delightful comic strip. Known for its imaginative humor and intelligence, Cul de Sac features Thompson’s fun and original watercolor artwork, and this collection is highlighted by Thompson’s commentary throughout. The book is a warm and witty omnibus of comic strips that will be a perfect addition to any Cul de Sac fan’s library and a fantastic introduction to readers new to this comic.
