Description

When Richard Thompson; creator of the cartoon strip Cul de Sac; learned that he had Parkinsonrsquo;s disease; the entire cartoon community was moved. From other cartoonists to fans; the urge to ldquo;do somethingrdquo; was overwhelming. Enter Chris Sparks; friend of and webmaster for Richard; who came up with the idea of joining the Team Fox effort. Having read two of Michael J. Foxrsquo;s books; he knew about the foundation; which made him think of creating a Team Cul de Sac to honor Richard and to raise money for and awareness about PD. He set up the team with the foundation and began the quest to create a book that contributors would donate their original art to be included in the book and to be auctioned off later. All of the auctionrsquo;s and a portion of the books profits will be donated to Team Fox.The response to Chrisrsquo;s call for art has been impressive. From indie cartoonists to noted syndicated; editorial; and magazine cartoonists to graphic novel artists; illustrators; and sheer Cul de Sac fans; the assortment of cartoon styles paying homage to Cul de Sac and Richard Thompson in Team Cul de Sac is truly inspiring.
