Cartoonists are passionate about Richard Thompson's work, and Cul de
Sac has been given high praise from Bill Watterson.
Cul de Sac chronicles the absurdly wonderful adventures of the
Otterloop family. Alice, Petey, Mom, and Dad live in the cookie-cutter
suburbs not far from the interstate. Here, and at school, their
day-to-day life unfolds with simple joys, tiny infractions, and
wonderful moments of gentle bliss.
In this specially curated collection for kids, the quirky world of Cul
de Sac comes to life for a new audience.

". . . much-needed jolt of energy to the daily newspaper. We have a real
talent here." -Bill Watterson (creator of Calvin and Hobbes)
