So Kochalka just made a tumblr post (baby balls feeler) that Richard Thompson, creator of Cul De Sac has passed away. Is this true?
It's true. Dammit.

Thompson's "Cul De Sac" became one of my favourite strips pretty much as soon as I read it.
ITT: In Memoriam Richard Thompson.
I love this first panel.

This one neatly encapsulates the three branches of Mainstream, Manga and Indie comics.

I like the transition between panels 2 and 3 in this one; this is something you can only do in comics, and Thompson used this technique a few times.
You can read Cul De Sac every day at GoComics

That's really sad. I had been reading through the strip in order, but I took a break for a while. I think I'll pick it up again.
I don't think we've got enough fans for a sticky. :(

Well let's do our best to keep it up atleast for little bit.
Would say this one was one of the best modern comic strips and i did know Thompson had some health problems and left comics kinda early, but it still stings.
Hadn't heard of this before today because I am not sure if it ran where I live, have enjoyed the strips I have seen today.

>and I like little cute animal cartoons with big eyes who're also magic robot vampire ninjas, but sensitive
Perfect description of the average anime.
What a cute strip. Anyone here who likes Peanuts or Calvin and Hobbes should check out Cul de Sac.
Well, shit.

What awful news. Few strips made me laugh like his and fewer still seemed to really get that weird kid feeling rad right as he did. Such a big loss

I like this a lot. I've never even heard of this comic until now.
That seems to happen too often with me, where I don't discover something until the artist dies.
Happened with Terry Pratchett. And now this.
I also never really listened to David Bowie until a couple weeks before he died.

I don't know why capefags believe anime is pile of tropes like that. overall anime juice one theme at a time, and stays in line way better than capeshit wh desperately pile new shit when people get bored.
