WHAT IS NEW AT 

NOT MUCH, OUR KID JUST GOT HIS WISDOM TEETH OUT,
THE OLD LADY WENT TO HER 30tTH HIGH SCHOOL REUNION,  I FOUND A $20 BILL IN THE PARKING LOT,  YOU KNOW, NOTHING  EARTH-SHAKING.
OH, YOU MEAN "WHAT NEW PRODUCTS HAVE YOU GOT?" I SEE, I SEE. WELL, WE GOT THESE, BUT THEY'RE NOT REALLY MOVING, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. NOW, IF HE'D DRAW SOME PUPPIES OR KITTENS, THEY'D MOVE.

INSTEAD, WE GET ELEPHANTS.

THE HAPPY NEW YEAR CARD
Inside it says, "And many more."


THE PETEY CARD
Inside, it says, "It's going to be one of those days."


THE HEY,  JACKASS CARD
Inside, it says, "No, not you."
I'm quite proud of this card, and I'm posting it despite the fact that it does appear in the book and I could get in serious tr-

Dear Mr. Richard Thompson, I´m a Chilean... A long and narrow country far from Washignton, Yukon or any place you may know. And I´m writing to you because for me you are a super heroe (More Dill really) but as i heard that you are the one that gives life to their life, well maybe you could receive his medal or cape (super heroes uses cape, you know?). Well the thing really is that i love cartoons and over all acrtoons I love Cul de Sac. Even more than Calvin and Hobbes or Peanuts or Krazy Kat or Macanudo, Mafalda, etc... For me you are like the leonardo da Vinci of Cartoons and Graphic novels... I´m also an illustrator myself and every time I cannot advance on a work i open dills jumping over taht bucket head of kevin (thank you for not drawing what happened their, probably i could never sleep again if i saw it) and can advance again. Well I´m just writing because of my big admiration for you, you really inspire my work and also my life (ill hope some day i can be as alice in a way, not the nice one, of course). I hope you all the best in everything. All bets forever, Julián. PS please excuse me for my english but is not my first language.
