Why the strip?

I'm passionate about comic strips - in particular the infamous Peanuts (which I grew up with); Calvin and Hobbes; Mutts; and a gem of a strip that I've only just discovered, Cul de Sac. I love their pacing and brevity of words; the simplicity and beauty of the line; the sound effects (WHUMP!) and speech bubbles. I love the unfolding relationships and evolving story lines. Above all I love how they make me feel - they bring a smile to my face and sometimes make me laugh out loud. But they never fail to brighten my day.

I hope Chalk & Cheese has a similar effect on you. In the words of Cheese Mouse, "that'd be totally awesome!"
