And he's been named by Tom Spurgeon on Comicsreporter.com as the Potential Breakout Cartoonist of 2008.

"Quirky" is the new "edgy".

Ha! When I read it, "quirky" stuck out for me! What does it mean (in terms of comics)? Really, 90% of today's comic strips can be dubbed "quirky" (or edgy) but are they funny--that's what counts. Frankly, I don't think they are, so "Cul de Sac" should quickly rise to the top. (Fame, MetLife deals, holiday cartoon specials, etc.)

That's also a really nice comment for Watterson. I'd have the entire thing engraved in wood and nail it on front door of my townhouse.
