Cul de Sac: Sad!

Cul de Sac is highly derivative of Peanuts.

This is not a bad thing.

But it's one thing to just be derivative of Peanuts. It's another thing to recreate its mood while building a world filled with interesting characters of your own. And that's what Richard Thompson has done.

This strip in particular is both very funny and kind of terrifying, both because of the general situation and because of the specificity of the characters' behavior. It basically does for charades what Freaks and Geeks did for dodgeball. And Alice's guess *was* at the very least a lot closer than "cheese monkey."
