Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 17, 2020

Qual parte de “não” tu entendeste, o conhecido imaginário de Pedro? (Which part of “no” did you understand, Peter’s imaginary acquaintance?)

“No thanx, Ernesto! I’ll stick to my arm-gnawing Pathology!”

Ernesto trying to put the bite on an arm gnawer…..

There’s an advantage to reruns— I’ve seen this a comic a couple of times and just got the “Nu-Gi-Ow” joke.

Ernesto wants to hang out more with Petey, but its not happening, lol! …Does it say Pinch Bo on the back of his uniform?

Maybe… Ecky Thump? ㋡

Ten ways to pull hair and render an opponent helpless…

You can easily overcome children with tickle boxing!

Why is he even talking to that imaginary person?

Ernesto knows good music for an imaginary “friend.”

“The pincher. Picture the fingers going pinch, pinch, pinch.

“I’ve got blisters on my pinchers!”

Ha! Slapkido is actually a thing, but they don’t call it that. Unfortunately I have encountered the dreaded passive aggressive ninja.

And hear I thought the FAA was about planes…

Some phantasms just can’t take “no” for an answer!

—And yet, these new martial arts do sound tempting….

Be calmly assertive, Petey. Keep the faith and be sensible. Live and let live with dignity.
