"Richard Thompson is renowned among cartoonists as the 'artist's' cartoonist."

"Little known to all but those close to him is the extent of his extraordinary art, a gift so rare that it compelled 'Calvin and Hobbes' creator, Bill Watterson, to break an almost 20 year silence and declare, 'Now I have a reason to read comics again.' Cul de Sac, his comic strip, from the beginning."
