Cul de Sac creator Richard Thompson has announced on his blog that he is taking a 3-4 weeks hiatus from the strip to start a physical therapy session for those with Parkinson’s disease.
Well, I’m taking some time off. Some more time off, three or four weeks. I’m about to start a program of physical therapy sessions designed for people with Parkinson’s. I’ve only been in for an evaluation, but the therapy largely consists of big, exaggerated movements and sweeping silly walks that will so embarrass your body that it’ll start behaving itself, I hope. Also I’ll learn ten ways to defeat a mugger by falling on him.

Richard was diagnosed with the disease in 2009.
