After noticing my favorite quirky cartoon strip was absent again this week from Sunday's Free Press, I felt the need to search for "Cul de Sac" online. I assumed the Freep (as it's called in Detroit) had simply discontinued it, so I was saddened to learn that the comic's creator, Richard Thompson, is unable to continue the cartoon because of Parkinson’s disease.
