Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 19, 2011

Blank strip on …..Fathers day and my Birthday…damn….. snifff

Did I miss something?

We’ll have to do our best to guess. Alice says, "That clown looks like a Transylvannian!And then Dill says, “It looks like it wants to be preciated for it’s fangs!”

Or something like that. I’m sure I’m close.

Wait, the word after its starts with o. So Dill says, “It looks like it wants to be preciated for it’s openess.” I give up.

If you are still having trouble seeing the strip when you read this, you can click on the link on the right for the “framed print”. Then enlarge and you can read it all. It is about clouds, not clowns.

The full strip appears at very small scale to the right; it is also possible to get the strip displayed at full but legible size….

Thanks for the workaround, pumaman!

Happy birthday, jeditrue!

It’s about Alice and Beni fantasizing about a cloud while Dill is a strident realist….

you can also right click on it and ‘save as’ to get the full thing

I’m very much like Dill.

Thanks, pumaman

Dill sees the cloud’s true beauty – it is what it is, and why must we continue to add our own baggage to it. Wow.But personally, I thought it did look like Dill’s head with a crayon stuck up his nose.

LSD will do that.

It has come in but it is so large I can only see Alice’s head.

Yay!I can see the strip through the workaround, thanks pumaman! Now, if I could just see the clouds…

On my browser, the image opened impossibly large. But by control-clicking, I was able to "open image in another window.

We’ve all been complaining about lack of magnification on Sunday strips, well today’s strip is big enough for a billboard.

Comic is also available at news.yahoo.com/comics/cul-de-sac

Where is cul-de-sac?!? Sniff dang and on father’s day too!

i just put up the black & white version on my blog. Sorry about the inconvenience. http://richardspooralmanac.blogspot.com

Never seen Dill so up close before.

Thank you!

Funny, the one GoComics emailed me is fine. Weird.

Very Schulzian.

The strip not displaying actually turned into a bonus for me. It happens quite a bit on gocomics, so the pumaman workaround is nice. Plus, I didn’t know about Richard Thompson’s blog. Just signed up for the RSS feed.

Glad I could be of help. Seems like lots of people are finding ways to view it. Shows how important the morning dose of whimsy is.

This comic can be seen in color at the Seattle Newspaper Online. Here is the website link. Also Foxtrot as that one was off too.http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/comicsgames/

Thanks, Richard! (Pff, he’s apologizing. Pffhaha, silly.)

thanks

For Apple users: I just saved it on my iMac by holding down the Control key while clicking the image and choosing that from the drop-down menu. The saved image can be viewed with Preview which has a negative Zoom (shrink) feature.

Boy, Dill sure reminds me of Linus from Peanuts as he’s contemplating the cloud’s feelings. Great strip as usual!

Dill, a prophet is often without honor in his own land…

Dill must be psychic — he can read the cloud’s mind! Or it mind-melded with him…

did I miss something?

I was able to see it in all its full-sized wonder by clicking on “collectible print”, then “buy” or whatever. I DID buy the “Pulpy Joe” Sunday strip from a couple of weeks ago -now to get it framed – in watermelon green? Devil red? or maybe Petey’s or someone’s hair color…

Thank you Mr. Thompson!

Ah, Richard uploaded an 8MB TIFF file — no wonder browsers won’t display it! But it’s a good way to see every tiny detail in his artwork!!

What happened here??

I LOVE YOU DILL!

Wow – it just hit me. Cul De Sac has actually, deservedly inherited Charles Schultz’s mantle with the best strip from a kid’s point of view. Although the look is very different, it lives up to the level of visual quality that Peanuts set, too.
