Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 16, 2009

She blocks it out…. Shoot, I’m scared of her Grandma.

I’m with you Marg! Grandma worries me more!

Oh my gosh, Alice’s reaction has got to be the most adorable thing ever! I love how she’s got selective memory when it comes to “Big Squirrelly.” Don’t worry, your mommy will protect you Alice.

Big Shirley looks like a giant hedgehoggy more than a big Squirrelly.

I’d also wait in the car - Grandma scares me more than Big Shirley does…

oh my, poor alice, visions of a monster in her mind’s eye

Hey everyone, Richard gave a great PODCAST interview over at:

Check it out!

My favorite part of the strip is when the Mom says they’re going to grandma’s to “open jars” !!! Classic.

Man, I think I’m gonna go pro, or genius, or whatever it is, just so I can read the CdS archive from the beginning.

Does anyone know if the collections are complete and chronological, or just selections?

drifting-

yes indeed, every strip is in the collections.

At least my grandkids don’t have to come help me open jars! Poor Alice!

Well, I know it definitely goes back to September 10, 2007 - that’s as far back as Gocomics takes me, anyway. Two years is a lot - but still not enough - of Cul de Sac, the reason I went “Genius” in the first place. Here’s a link to the first one:

If you click that and see the comic for a second before the “You can’t read this!” message comes up, just check your browser cache… :o)

Sorry, Destiny, I didn’t think about that…
