Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 15, 2012

Perfect! A fine job, Lincoln!

That’s really thoughtful of Alice: she deserves a hug, Petey!

Great! I love the last frame!

Aww! How nice of Alice to get that delightfully large shoebox for her diorama-obsessed big brother! That was really kind of you, Alice! Plus, you got a fine lid/hat , too! Everybody wins today!

bignate is doing a great job. The best guest yet.

Yes, Lincoln I think we are all agreed that you have captured the spirit of Cul de Sac very well.

Loving Petey’s eyes in the second panel.

I look forward to seeing Petey’s masterpiece :)

Thanks all of you for the kind words.

Maybe Dill’s brothers had a grow spurt. Or maybe they built a giant robot out of cardboard, shopping carts and Dill’s broken dreams and the robot needed shoes.

Diorama on the box top for a traveling exhibit?

For his biggest diorama to date, wouldn’t calling it his “St. Peter’s Cathedral” be more appropriate than “Sistine Chapel?”

Not to belittle the other artists fine works, but I think Lincoln has had the best run so far. He really captures the mood and mindset that is Cul de Sac.

Lincoln, you are doing a fantastic job – mind you, I still can’t wait for Richard’s return, but this week’s strips have been excellent!

I agree with you all! Today in particular spurs the imagination.

Peirce really nailed it. Now if Stephen Pastis would draw a week’s strip, I would be exploding with geekiness right now.

That last panel is full of win!

Brilliant!But is the world ready for Petey’s magnum opus? Bring on the diorama drama!

Petey’s eyes in p2…priceless, hahahaha. You’re doing a great job, Lincoln. The best guest cartoonist yet, in my opinion.

When’s the last time Petey was so happy?

this is what won the ruben/reuben award?

shades of the Wiggum kid…

Nice hat Alice! Really nice! It becomes you!

I sure wish we would get to see what Lincoln puts in Petey’s diorama!

I didn’t realize until told (very recently) that it isn’t only the art that’s guest-provided but also the speech and story lines. Which shows how good an ear these folks have and how careful attention they have paid. And yesterday I thought Richard had come back , the art was so close.Well done!

I usually give my 13EEEE shoe boxes out to the homeless.

Definitely has the Cul de Sac rhythm with the double punch at the end! I’ve always wondered about Petey’s teacher. He/she never shows up, or am I missing something? Just wondering…

Let’s hope we get to see Petey’s Masterpiece. This week has been great fun to read.

This comic strip rather nicely sums up the personalities of both characters in a wonderful panel. I love it.

great stuff this week

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
