TCDS is not just about Richard Thompson
by Chris Sparks
Richard Morgan has a comics store in Greenville, SC. He goes to most of the conventions in the area including Heroes Con. He met us the first year we sold t-shirts and Alice prints for fundraising. He's supported us every year because of his dad. His father passed away this morning from PD complications.
I spent the afternoon with his dad on last year's Free Comic Book Day. He thanked us for what we do and told me how much it means to him to see us raise money through cartoons.
When I saw Richard last month, he also thanked us and told me how much TCDS efforts mean to his family.

Team Cul de Sac will be at SC Comicon March 21, 2015!

If you've never been to a Drink and Draw, you are in for a fun event. You don't have to drink or draw to have a good time and help raise money for two fabulous charities. Anyone is welcome to participate in the drawing. SC Comicon has generously provided coasters and boards for the event (although we won't say no to a donation for use of these) and artists of both professional and amateur status will be donating their works created that evening for you to purchase. Chris and Heather will be on hand to facilitate both the drinking and drawing as well as answer any questions you may have about Team Cul de Sac. Chris will also have copies of The Art of Richard Thompson and Team Cul de Sac: Cartoonists Draw the Line at Parkinson's.
The Drink and Draw will take place Saturday, March 21, 2015 from 7pm to 11pm at Quest Brewing located at 55 Airview Drive, Greenville, SC 29607. This is following the first day of SC Comicon which is from10am-6pm on Saturday and 12pm-6pm on Sunday.

Frazz likes Richard Thompson
Today's Frazz by Jef Mallett tips a candy heart towards Richard Thompson as "corn flakes inventor" -- no, as "great cartoonist" more likely.

New Eric Shansby painting for Team Cul de Sac
Washington Post cartoonist Eric Shansby has done a painting for Team Cul de Sac's fundraising effort to defeat Parkinson's disease. The painting will be auctioned this spring, but money can be donated at any time.
Shansby took over illustrating Gene Weingarten's Below the Beltway column from Richard Thompson, when Thompson moved on to doing Cul de Sac.
The painting shows Alice and Petey from Cul de Sac, climbing on Ben Franklin, an inspiration for Richard's other Washington Post strip, Richard's Poor Almanac. It is acrylic on canvas board and measures approximately 9"x12".
The painting will also be reproduced in the forthcoming fundraising book, Compleating Cul de Sac, which includes interviews, sketches and 100 Washington Post strips left out of the Complete Cul de Sac.
