Legendary Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson, known for decades as one of the most private figures in comics, stepped out into the spotlight ever so briefly in 2007 to offer his praises for Richard Thompson's brilliant Cul de Sac.
Scarcely a year later, Watterson has once again emerged from his post-Calvin retirement, and once again, it's Cul de Sac that has him talking. The first Cul de Sac collection, Cul de Sac: This Exit, is set for September release and features a foreward by the enigmatic cartoonist.
"I thought the best newspaper comic strips were long gone, and I've never been happier to be wrong. Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac has it all--intelligence, gentle humor, a delightful way with words, and, most surprising of all, wonderful, wonderful drawings."
That's the Watterson equivalent of the State of the Union address right there, and that's just the first paragraph! You can read the entire forward (and pre-order the book) here.
Gene Weingarten: This (cul de sac) is not just one of the best new strips out there, it is one of the best strips out there. Richard Thompson is a genius.

Richard Thompson writes for Cul de Sac in the way we all WISH we could write comic strips. It's always brilliant and very well deserving of Watterson's rare and high praise.

Don't have a lot of money to buy some real estate? Worry not, just because that is available to take the mortgage loans to work out such kind of problems. Thence get a term loan to buy all you need.
