Synopsis: Thompson has a sharp eye, a fun sense of language and a charmingly odd take on the world. Im delighted to see Cul de Sac. --Bill Watterson, creator ofCalvin and HobbesAlice Otterloop brings the funny to suburbia inCul de Sac, a suburban community ringed by a mighty wall and girded by a moat of stagnant traffic.More than half of our nations population resides in the burbs. Knowingly, Richard ThompsonsCul de Sacfollows the antics of four-year-old Alice Otterloop as she navigates her way through life at Blisshaven Preschool, the scene of [her] daily toil. Suburbanites across the nation will easily recognize the quirks and conundrums associated with house-lined streets, sidewalk canvases, and magnetified refrigerator art.Instructed by the proper Miss Bliss, Alice regularly has issues with taking a nap, speaking out of turn, and remembering what a triangle looks like. Helping her through lifes ups and downs are her eight-year-old brother Petey, Dad (a.k.a. Peter), and Mom (a.k.a. Madeline), as well as Mr. Danders, the preschools pompously pedantic guinea pig.This is the strips first book collection incorporating more than a years worth of strips dating back to the cartoons 2007 debut. Thompson has received critical praise for doing a masterful job of commenting on social issues while entertaining in a freshly amusing and unexpected way.
