Compleating Cul de Sac 2nd edition's Addenda

 Even as we were going to print, we kept finding material on this blog that would fit in the book. You can print and add these three pages in, or download a pdf of them at https://www.mediafire.com/file/8uqlwp12b5a1lag/CCDS2_addenda.pdf/file

 Updated 1/9/23 with new pages that have the numbers on the proper sides. Print out as full size (not to fit) and you should get the strip on the bottom with a little white space to the bottom and side. Cut on that line, and insert the pages in your book.

 

Compleating Cul de Sac 2nd edition available in print now

Yesterday, we finally got the proof copies of the books. We don't think these will print, ship and be there in time for Christmas, and definitely not for Hanukkah. Maybe for New Years? But you can print out and use the attached IOU if you need to.  If you just quickly want a cheaper ebook as a DRM-free pdf, use this link to the Compleating Cul de Sac 2022 edition. If you donate at least $10 using the link and let us know, we will send you a PDF of the new book.  - Mike & Chris

Here's the description one more time -

The Complete Cul de Sac isn't. Complete, that is. Compiling it while ill, Richard accidentally left out some strips. Others were purposely left out, either because he had redrawn them for syndication, or they were too tied to the Washington, D.C. origins of the strip to make sense for a worldwide audience, or he "just felt some were not funny." Over 100 are not in The Complete CDS. But if you're a cartoon completist, or just want a little bit more CDS, we understand and we're here for you. We've collected the lost water-colored Washington Post Magazine strips, the early inchoate musings about what the strip should be, the promotional material, the sketches for fans, and finally some fugitive Team Cul de Sac charity art. This whole book is about community—the people that loved Richard and CDS and what he gave to us and what we tried to give back to him. As Anna Straight noted when sending in a contribution, "Cul de Sac integrated into our lives and became the running comedy track for our family." With Richard's blessing, or at least active acquiescence, any money the book makes will go to Team Cul de Sac to fight Parkinson's disease. We initially published this as a print-on-demand book through Lulu in 2015, but after Richard passed away, people have continued to do tributes to him and the strip, and we were glad to take the opportunity to add over 100 pages of artwork and interviews to a new edition.

We haven't even printed CCDSv2 yet, and we're missing stuff

 I had to go back on the Art of Richard Thompson FB page, to look up info for Diego's tribute post, and discovered that we left out a Fleabag Theatre, and 2 comic strip tributes in Betty and Rex Morgan, MD.

Print them out and stick them in the book on an appropriate page.  I may create an addenda page for the people who are getting the PDF book. Aww, heck, you know I'll be creating addenda pages - I'll post them as jpgs when the book's finally out.

REX MORGAN 11-27-16 to 12-18-16

Here are the Rex Morgan strips from late November to mid-December. The first Sunday page is another seasonal stand alone strip. It doesn't advance the story any -- just establishes the time of year and lets me work on showing Rex and Sarah and how they relate as father and daughter. And gives us a little happy moment before the next storyline starts.

The snowmen are a tribute to the late Richard Thompson, artist of Cul de Sac and the still-with-us Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes fame. I just wanted to tip my hat to Richard and acknowledge his remarkable work and his unfortunate passing. His pal Bill seemed an appropriate addition.
