Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 11, 2010

Losing the curl might help….

A lot of us drank from that fountain!!

I’m thinking some even drank twice.

Ah, remember when You wanted to be older.

Ernesto, prepare to be disappointed.

Ernesto is already a forty year old, trapped in a kid’s body.

“Long have I sought this!” Heh heh heh.

Don’t you get any such ideas, Petey. You’ll get there soon enough!

If you look long enough for the fountain of age, you will surely find it.

I think it’s time somebody put a cork in that dang fountain.

Ernest really looks like a quail today (though I may have them on my mind because there was one in my yard yesterday). I like them but they seldom visit because we have 6’ walls between houses. Usually they visit in pairs but this one was alone and thin- probably a young one. He did not drink from my fountain/waterfall, but DID stare into the pool. I was worried it might fall in.

The Fountain Of Age wouldn’t work on me. I’ve been this way since 1905!

With AGE there is knowledge; and knowledge is POWER!

With YOUTH there is ignorance; and ignorance is BLISS!

To be a HARE KRISHNA is to be ‘one of the choosen’ to worship an unknown God; and to be controlled by others!

I’ve got some bad news for you, Ernesto…

He’s more than welcome to the Fountain of Age if he finds it == but I’m sure he’ll be disappointed if he does! And maybe he won’t really want to be taken seriously anyway…

I doubt it, Ernesto!

Ernesto looks like a toad in that last panel…. nothing too new.

Ernesto the Bond villain in embryo.
