Richard Thompson’s comic strip Cul De Sac has been called today’s “Peanuts”. This strip is full of endearing and quirky characters, and is always a joy. A new book ” Team Cul de Sac: Cartoonists Draw the Line at Parkinson’s by Chris Sparks” is a dedication to the man and the strip. It’s also raising funds for Parkinson’s research for the Michael J. Fox Foundation. You can also bid on the original illustrations from the book done by loads of famous cartoonists and illustrators, like Sergio Aragonés, Patrick McDonnell, and Bill Watterson. Get your original before the auction closes.

But at a base level, it’s got to lodge itself behind your eyes, for good. You can tell the most successful, because after awhile, the wordmark becomes lees important than the symbol. How do you judge wether your logo is good, you just ask Adam Ladd’s five year old daughter.
