Unable to laugh at your own family? Snicker at someone else's, and experience the fresh irony Richard Thompson's Cul De Sac: This Exit (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $12.99) doles out in spades. Thompson masters the art of making the familiar brand new by bringing us snippets of everyday life in a sure way to tickle your funny bone.

"Richard Thompson has a sharp eye, a fun sense of language and a charmingly odd take on the world. Best of all, his drawings are wonderful—something one doesn't often see in cartoons anymore. ... We have real talent here." —Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes

Full of vim and vigor, all 128 pages of Cul De Sac will have you chuckling aloud as you take in the unpredictable cleverness of each character.

Four-year-old Alice is the epitome of a mischievous child, always acting grownup and rarely without her two sidekicks, Dill and Beni. She looks up to her clever older brother, Petey, and together they provide plenty of distraction for their often-frazzled mom and dad.

With its high energy and playful spirit, Cul De Sac gives us a taste of the adult within Alice and her friends while offering up a little something for the kid in all of us.
