I mostly buy the treasury collections.<br /><br />It's funny that you compare Cul de Sac to Bob's Burgers, because it's always reminded me of Home Movies...a little more anarchic than the Belcher family, a little more insane, but in a loving way.<br /><br />I'm also a big Pearls fan too, it's always seemed like the strip that is most indebted to its past. I think you could draw a pretty convincing line from Kazy Kat to Peanuts to Calvin and Hobbes to Pearls Before Swine. Maybe with a little detour through Bloom County on the way.Ivan T.
