Bill Watterson, creator of “Calvin & Hobbes,” came out of retirement recently to paint the above portrait of Petey from the Richard Thompson’s great comic strip, “Cul de Sac.” The portrait is a donation to the Team Cul de Sac Project to raise money in the fight against Parkinson’s Disease. Team Cul de Sac is soliciting original cartoon art that will be featured in a book published by Andrews & McMeel. For more info check out the Team Cul de Sac Website.
Bill certainly nailed Petey. A portrait of a boy on the verge of a lifetime in therapy.








The One Where We Flip the Strip
One day Verne may just say the hell with all this and split for another strip. But who would have him?
Beetle Bailey? Verne would get fragged within a week.
Hagar? Vikings use turtles as flaming Death Frisbees
Pearls Before Swine? Rat and Pig would hold Verne while each of the Crocs takes a bite.
Girls in Apartment 3G? Verne would be arrested after being caught trying on their foundation garments.
Cul de Sac? Petey would suffocate Verne in his sleep. That strip’s not big enough for two neurotic dweebs.
Dilbert? Dogbert would sell Verne’s shell on E-bay.
For his own safety, I guess we’re stuck with him.
