Thompson's work in Cul de Sac is wonderful. Glad to hear his art will have even more national exposure. I might have to pick that one up to check it out; maybe I'll pass it on to my oldest son when I'm done: "Here you go, son, Nickelodeon Magazine!" "Wow! Thanks, Dad! *flips through magazine* Wait, Dad, there seems to be a page missing... Dad? Dad?" *me skulking off into the night* That’s awesome! Thompson’s work in Cul de Sac is wonderful.

I especially like the way he drew those kids holding the yarn on the way to the library. They're very simple and proportionate in size to his adults adults, each with their own winter outfit. They're very animated even with their stubby arms and legs. Drawing kids that are too lanky and big for a comic strip is a mistake I think a lot of people make. Working for Nickalodeon Magizine is a great move. Their sponge bob comics are hilarious, and it introduces Thompson's work to a demographic that doesn't read newpaper comics as much...little KIDS. The forgotten demographic that consumes the most cartoons but probably participates in zero comics polls. I’ve not read Poor Richards Almanac, but Thompsons art is drawn very funny.

I've become a big fan of Thompson ever since I first saw Cul-De-Sac and Richard's Poor Almanac is hilarious. His sense of line, color and humor make him fun to read. It's hard to mix politics and humor, but he does it well. Yay Richard! Awesome! I’ve become a big fan of Thompson ever since I first saw Cul-De-Sac and Richard’s Poor Almanac is hilarious.
