Our mornings won't be quite so fun.<br /><br />You capture the voice and internal logic of children better than anyone I've ever read or seen. There have been numerous times over the past couple of years where my wife or I would comment on something our children had done as a particularly Petey or Alice type thing.<br /><br />Thank you for provide us with the very best comic strip in the past 20 years. And best of luck moving forward.Arie Van De Graaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170926603517840899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-62653506886667757642012-08-18T20:17:27.373-07:002012-08-18T20:17:27.373-07:00I'll add my dismay & thanks here too - her...I'll add my dismay & thanks here too - here's hoping that your treatment brings amazing results & that the rest of us can live on without Alice...The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-12589960971152222542012-08-18T10:53:03.243-07:002012-08-18T10:53:03.243-07:00Thank you for all the laughs, chuckles, guffaws an...Thank you for all the laughs, chuckles, guffaws and grins.

I, like the others, are sad and angry at this disease that has robbed us our reason for opening the funny pages.<br /><br />That said, I am truly grateful you had the chance to give us this gift. I couldn't be more satisfied with the narrative you produced. Cul de Sac is so different from everything else out there. It captures naive childhood and awkward adolescence in a way that should not be possible in this constrained medium. But you managed it every day. <br /><br />Your art and writing is so real that it merged with my own childhood memories of suburbia. It struck such a chord that my mind simply accepted it as the truth. The small characters, the ones that appeared in just a panel, like Andre's sister, seemed so fleshed out that they had to be real. I could imagine pointing her out in a crowd at school. "You know Andre, right? Well that's his sister." Of course she is.<br /><br />I could echo the requests about continuing to produce these characters in some form. While the lives of the characters are important, your life is so much more so. We've really gotten to know you through your comic, this blog, and rare interviews. My requests instead are as follows: Continue your fight, stay brave in the face of these challenging procedures, and look to your loved ones for any support that you need. That includes us. Just let us know.<br /><br />I will continue to follow you on this blog. Check in when you can. We're rooting for you, Richard. <br /><br />All the best,<br />Tony Abraham<br /><br />P.S. My favorite dailies will always be the strips involving Ernesto. He was just so weird. My favorite Sunday is the discussion of birds in the different sections of the supermarket. I showed that to everyone that day.

I was very sad to learn it will not be how I start my days soon.

It's not quite an original observation, but life really isn't fair.<br /><br />I'm glad, at least, that the therapy has been helping, and that this will give you more time to follow it up properly.<br /><br />But I still hope this doesn't have to mean the end of the Cul de Sac characters. You can still do the strip, say for the occasional book... no deadlines, leisure to develop each strip for as long as you need...<br /><br />Cul de Sac is the best strip, bar none, since Peanuts. It's simply too important to lose completely. Clearly you have more you want to say. I'd love to see you say it.JeremyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797592828357951723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-88805189805242609812012-08-18T07:49:59.050-07:002012-08-18T07:49:59.050-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.JeremyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797592828357951723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-80151451217216972732012-08-18T07:34:18.318-07:002012-08-18T07:34:18.318-07:00Take care of yourself!
