I picked up this book because it was blurbed by Bill Watterson, I'm not sure what I expected, but this wasn't quite up to what I had expected. It was cute, not all that funny to me, but it had a couple of cute animals...especially one owl and the class pet , a guinea pig named Mr. Danders. This book is about a preschooler, Alice Otterloop, her family, and her teacher and school mates. This book does make for quick, light reading so pick it up if you're in the mood for just that. ( ) Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. http://lampbane.livejournal.com/613975.html"My favorite thing about the comic is that Thompson manages to capture on the page how a child's mind actually works, and how much adults fail to get it sometimes. What an adult finds cute, they find embarrassing. What an adult thinks is interesting, bores them to tears. What makes no sense to an adult or appears flighty and weird, has a perfectly logical explanation and makes perfect sense to a kid. I love it." Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This is a wonderful comic book! Richard Thompson channels some of the great classic illustrative styles and mixes them with his own originality. He and Pat McDonnell are the best artists on the comics page today (visually) but Cul De Sac is much funnier than Mutts in terms of characters and stories. Kudos to Thompson for not only achieving classic status in comics but doing so on the newspaper comic page which has never really recovered from the retirements of Watterson and Larson. Thank you, Richard Thompson, for Cul De Sac!Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Many of the reviews mention Calvin and Hobbes, which is a bit unfair. That's an awfully high bar to reach, and Cul De Sac doesn't quite make it. It did, however, make me laugh hard enough to finally start reading a comic strip regularly again and that hasn't happened since... well, since Calvin and Hobbes.You won't see the deep levels of satire or philosophy that Watterson excelled at, but you will get the delightfully whacko Alice Otterloop, her family and her schoolmates, some deceptively simple artwork that matches the tone perfectly, and the kind of off-the-wall reactions to normal situations that make comic strips come alive. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"I hope you enjoy Cul de Sac as much as I do. I think you're in for a real treat." --Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes, 2008 "One of the five best features in any newspaper, period." --The Comics Reporter "One of the few strips around where nearly every individual panel is stand-alone delight." --The Onion "...it really seems like the inheritor of 'Calvin and Hobbes.'" --Art Spiegelman "I can't say enough in his favor, so much is my admiration for his work." --Pat Oliphant More than half of our nation's population resides in the 'burbs. Knowingly, Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac follows the antics of four-year-old Alice Otterloop as she navigates her way through life at Blisshaven Preschool, "the scene of [her] daily toil." Suburbanites across the nation will easily recognize the quirks and conundrums associated with house-lined streets, sidewalk canvases, and magnetified refrigerator art. Instructed by the proper Miss Bliss, Alice regularly has issues with taking a nap, speaking out of turn, and remembering what a triangle looks like. Helping her through life's ups and downs are her eight-year-old brother Petey, Dad (a.k.a. Peter), and Mom (a.k.a. Madeline), as well as Mr. Danders, the preschool's pompously pedantic guinea pig. This is the strip's first book collection incorporating more than a year's worth of strips dating back to the cartoon's 2007 debut. Thompson has received critical praise for doing a masterful job of commenting on social issues while entertaining in a freshly amusing and unexpected way.
