The Mighty Alice (A Cul de Sac Collection) #[nn]

Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac strip has never looked more delightfully unhinged than on this collection's cover, where a determined young Alice hoists a globe-sized Earth over her head while small speech bubbles around her proclaim "MINE" across every continent. A skeptical onlooker mutters "She's going to drop it" while another figure pleads, "Alice! Put that back where you found it!" — perfectly capturing the cheerful, low-key chaos that made Thompson the 2011 Cartoonist of the Year. With an introduction by Lincoln Peirce, creator of Big Nate, this 2012 Andrews McMeel collection is a warm and witty showcase of one of the funniest family strips of its era.
