I don't think it's too DC-specific. The location may be, but the jokes and family interaction work great.
And TR does seem like a cartoon person.
I agree. Definitely funny, whether or not you know the memorial in question. If Andrews McMeel deems it worthwhile, would love to see a collection of all the pre-syndication strips. And, if not, then I'll be the first name on the "Hey, Andrews McMeel, Publish Every Cul de Sac Strip Ever!" petition.
You're probably right, but I've kinda smothered the DC side of the strip, just to make it seem more unplaceable and universal.
I'll have to compile another few decades before the Complete Cul de Sac looks hefty enough to stand on a shelf with pride. It's gotta be a cinderblock at least!
