I thought it was various comics ABOUT Parkinsons by various cartoonists. so I bought it for my step father. who has Parkinsons and enjoys comics. However. it is not. It is various cartoonists doing tributes to the Cul de Sac comic to raise money FOR Parkinsons. Its a good cause. and the comics are good -- but they value was sort of lost on me because I had never read the Cul de Sac comic strip before. so the homages and send-ups didnt mean much to me.I think this would be a fun book for people who are fans of the original strip.I dont regret buying it. though...Parkinsons sucks and Im in favor of fundraising efforts!6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A tribute to Richard thompsonBy Means Johnston IIIRichard Thompson is a comic who tells a story about an average family. What makes this strip remarkable is in the empathy he has for these people. Cul De Sac is a wonderful strip. Team Cul De Sac is a chance for Mr Thompsons contemporaries to pay tribute to the comic and raise money for a good cause. We have seen tributes slipped into strips before such as Patrick McDonnel inserting the Peanuts characters in a museum looking at a painting while Linus is Looking at the image of Earl the dog. This time it is a dedicated panel where the artist draws Cul De Sac characters into their own strip or medium. Alice. her brother Pety and their long suffering parents have a complete makeover in the hands of other artists. It is a wonderful tribute and a great way to be introduces to new artists.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Support a Good CauseBy William CarpenterThis was a fund raiser for finding a cure for Parkinsons Disease and contains a variety of Team Cul De Sac cartoons by other cartoonists. A quick read for a good cause.
