Mr. Danders is not only back, he’s in arch form and possibly (to judge from the background art in today’s kinda 3-D presentation) on the loose! I hope you got your allergy pill, Petey!

Wow! This is excellent, Michael. Top marks for bringing Mr Danders back for a surprise appearance.

I can only imagine what Mr. Danders will write: “Dear diary I expected a massage, loofah, lit candles and chocolate truffles but got an allergic 12 year old.”

My understanding is that the guest artists have been filling in on every day but Sunday, when one of Richard’s strips is run. The account in http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/comic-riffs/post/cul-de-sac-guest-artists-move-in-monday-on-hiatus-thompson-asks-6-top-cartoonists-to-take-a-shot-at-his-strip/2012/02/16/gIQAqHOyIR_blog.htmlgives some different dates, stating that a guest artist will take today’s strip (but it was done by Richard). Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Yay! Mr. Danders is back! We’ve missed him. I’ve had 14 Guinea Pigs, and I must say, you know your Guinea Pigs!

It is always good to see another great cartoonist do their take on someone else’s strip, even sometimes just for fun (but especially to help Richard) Still hope that he will recover soon! This is an interesting adventure and it is good of those of you who know the styles better than I, keep us filled in on the ID of the artists (and hopefully on Richard’s progress);-D
