Along with Dill, Beni is Alice’s other best friend, the dark-haired and dark-skinned one. He appears to be technically minded and is skilled with tools; his grandmother “tells filthy jokes in Spanish” and he himself once used the interjection “Hijole!” implying he might be Hispanic. He is good at soccer.
Yes, I do know that. I’ve been reading this comic here since 2015-16. A lot of the comics, the most popular ones here, are reruns; like Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, and this one. But we still like to pretend that we don’t know what’s coming tomorrow, even though we may remember the arc, and try to find enjoyment in the anticipation. It’s a tragic one for this comic especially since the fans know they would have gotten so much more of this from Richard had he still been with us. We know Calvin is short in length because the creator chose it to be, and we respect that. But Cul-de-Sac didn’t have to be.
Yeah, surely. I just remembered that part of his story from a previous strip and mentioned it.
