Richard Thompson’s Cul de Sac blog

I’ve been meaning to share a link to this site for a while, but some things are so good that you like to keep them to yourself for a little bit. Every time there’s a new post on Richard Thompson’s blog, my RSS reader seems to do a little dance of happiness.

Thompson’s comic strip Cul de Sac is the most refreshing thing on the comics page today, and likewise, his blog is pure cartoon joy.

The site is mostly comprised of Thompson’s work for the Washington Post, including a larger-format watercolour version of Cul de Sac, various editorial illustrations, and his brilliant weekly “misinformational” comic feature Richard’s Poor Almanac, which has also been compiled in a book.

    His art doesn’t look like anything else in the North American funny pages; perhaps the closest analogue (in terms of art) would be Christophe Blain or Manu Larcenet, mixed with a healthy dose of the ubiquitous Bill Watterson (in terms of writing). I could sit here all day reading this site.
