Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 08, 2010
Transcript:
Ernesto: Peter! Have you heard the latest outrage? Instead of letter grades, we'll be receiving grades in the form of emoticons! Join me in protesting this base travesty! Carry a sign and put a bag over your head! Our academic futures, our human dignity, depend on it! Petey: I'll be glad when it's summer and I can give my imagination a rest.

So he is imaginary!
JP Steve Premium Member over 14 years ago
I certainly hope so!!
rayannina over 14 years ago
So he’s protesting emoticons … by wearing a bag with :( on it. Hypocrite.
SCOTTtheBADGER over 14 years ago
I believe Viola can see him, as well.
Constantinepaleologos over 14 years ago
She can. Petey’s mom also saw Ernesto once, so I really don’t think he’s imaginary.
peteysgrrl over 14 years ago
Maybe Petey’s just imagining that he’s imagining him…..
Yukoneric over 14 years ago
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! That’s when the imagination gets in high gear.
Christopher Shea over 14 years ago
So, how DO you grade someone in emoticon form? Instead of A, B, C, D, F, does it go :D, :), :|, :p, :( ?
GROG Premium Member over 14 years ago
Yeah, you need a rest from Ernesto, Petey. And then you’ll need a rest from Alice in the summer months.
JHSayers over 14 years ago
Wait. Technically, isn’t Petey, and his mom, and Alice all imaginary too?

Whoa, JHSayers—are you insinuating that all these colorful cartoon characters aren’t really real??
I’m tempted to Flag that ugly comment.

Summertime when I was a kid was a time to really let my imagination go wild.
SCOTTtheBADGER over 14 years ago
That would make Ernesto a figment of an imagination’s imagination?
ellisaana Premium Member over 14 years ago
Perhaps Petey wishes Ernesto was imaginary.
habamom over 14 years ago
That’s good, Christopher. What do you do about +/-? Maybe the nose: :D, :-D, :+), :), :-), :+|, :|, :-|, etc

My favorite comic strip is Cul de Sac, but my favorite comic strip character is Calvin, and my favorite cartoonist is Mark Tatulli. Weird, huh?
btw, I usually make :D and :) grades.
Dirty Dragon over 14 years ago
I bet Ernesto gets a lot of : ( ‘s.
(If he’s not imaginary.)
fritzoid Premium Member over 14 years ago
Not so weird, Me_Again. My favorite author of books is Kurt Vonnegut, my favorite books are “Cannery Row” and “Catch 22”, and my favorite character from a book is Bertie Wooster….
(Actually, it may be that we’re BOTH weird…)
JHSayers over 14 years ago
fritzoid, Bertie Wooster may be the best character from any book anywhere of all time. But then, we’re biased.
Patzer over 14 years ago
Say what you will. But I am convinced that Ernesto was modeled loosely after Jean Paul Sartre.
Me_Again about 14 years ago
Yay for weirdness!
