What Lies Beneath

Yesterday's Cul de Sac had some synchronicity with yesterday's Almanac cartoon, like they were almost the same joke. I didn't plan it that way, unless it was subconsciously, and when I realized they'd meshed I was a little tickled. Embarrassed too, because now it's obvious I've got only a few ideas in rotation and here they've collided.



The Almanac (above) was a retooling of one from 8 or 9 years ago (below). I didn't find the older one till a day after I turned in the newer version, though you can tell I remembered it pretty vividly. I might try doing newruns of old stuff and hope nobobdy recalls them distinctly enough to complain; I'll just white-out dated references and such to make it more germane.

  2. I noticed it, and thought it was pretty funny. It was like a tie-in just for Post readers.

  3. I LOVE that you included the 17-year cicadas and Bugs Bunny's route to Pizmo beach! Awesome!

  4. I loved both these cartoons and they reminded me of a book I read once about Underground London. Not just the Tube, but the secret tunnels, the creaking Victorian sewage system, the post office chutes. Fascinating and nearly as interesting as the fiction.

  5. I expect soon we will see Lio reading a "Petey" comic book...
