Writing (and life) summarized in a comic strip

I was a great fan of the brilliant "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip, which has ended but is being rerun in a lot of newspapers and available in collected form (I even splurged on the complete box set a while back). I also admire the write/artist who created it, Bill Watterson, who never yielded to the temptation to license his characters for the usual flood of products that come from a hit comic strip.

I think a worthy successor may be the strip called "Cul de Sac" by Richard Thompson. more
