I didn't look at it at first because they cancelled "Cathy" which fits my take on life exactly. A chickstrip, I know. Saw Cul De Sac & read it a few times and was hooked. It is brilliant and captures kids & their lives just like Charlie Brown used to. When the Otterloops were having their street newly blacktopped, Alice brought home a piece of that tar & put it on the table as a centerpiece. That's exactly what my daughter Judy would have done. And the parents don't scream at the kids. They just discuss calmly what is to be. Our Lexington, KY newspaper the Herald-Leader just started this strip last year.

I completely agree. It's just so... real, I dunno. And random. I just love how the kids are more realistic than in any other comic strips (with the exception of Baby Blues). It reminds me a little of Calvin in Hobbes- each strip is funny and lovely, but not particularly pun-dedicated, and it features a brilliant, different little kid. :) I hope it stays for a while- off-beat strips have a tendency to just fade from newspapers slowly...

Though in last Sunday's strip, I did feel that a children's entertainer should have been able to handle that typical brand of preschool randomness better than this guy was. So I figure he was just an out of work musician, taking any gig he could get, but totally unprepared for the reality of young children. See, that's the brilliance of the strip; even the one-shot characters have a backstory. I agree completely; Cul de Sac is one of my all-time favorite strips.
