Cul de Sac

Więcej o książce

"I hope you enjoy Cul de Sac as much as I do. I think you're in for a real treat." --Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes, 2008. "One of the five best features in any newspaper, period." --The Comics Reporter. "One of the few strips around where nearly every individual panel is stand-alone delight." --The Onion. "It really seems like the inheritor of 'Calvin and Hobbes.'" --Art Spiegelman. "I can't say enough in his favor, so much is my admiration for his work." --Pat Oliphant. More than half of the nation's population resides in the suburbs, and Richard Thompson's work captures this world through the eyes of four-year-old Alice Otterloop, who navigates life at Blisshaven Preschool, "the scene of [her] daily toil." Suburban readers will recognize the quirks of house-lined streets, sidewalk canvases, and magnetized refrigerator art. Under the guidance of the proper Miss Bliss, Alice faces challenges like napping, speaking out of turn, and identifying shapes, while her eight-year-old brother Petey, Dad (Peter), Mom (Madeline), and Mr. Danders, the preschool's pompously pedantic guinea pig, support her through life's ups and downs. This collection features over a year's worth of strips since the cartoon's 2007 debut, showcasing Thompson's talent for commenting on social issues with humor and unexpected insight.
