Ted,

I believe the drawing style for Cul de Sac is deliberate to suggest children’s drawings, which given the theme of the strip, makes it the correct choice and provides a thread of continuity between subject, style and writing.

It's hard to even relate to the characters when you can't tell what they represent! Cul de Sac is better than some, but still appears to follow the loosey-goosey format. I will reserve final judgement until I see more, but I wasn't impressed with the initial offering.
