Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 24, 2021

Makes you wonder: how does Ernesto hear these things about Peter if no one within Peter’s mini social circle doesn’t tells Ernesto?

The “Future Adults of America” club?? I wonder what political party these individual will be joining upon reaching adulthood?!! But I digress!

Ernesto reminds me of the late Stephen Furst: known as Flounder in Animal House and also in the movie the “Dream Team” as Phil Rizzuto quoting Albert and also was a Centauri diplomat named Vir on Babylon 5.

Ernesto wants to be Petey’s personal trainer and coach. His intentions, however, are evil!

Doug Piranha is one of their more famous alumni

Could you go back to being imaginary now please?

“You’re not real, Ernesto, not real.”

That raised right eyebrow on Ernesto in panel 2 is a nice detail. Makes Ernesto’s weird state of mind pretty clear

In the years to come, we’re definitely going to hear about Ernesto in the news.

I will not make a political comment, I will not make a political comment, I will not…

Ernesto has a future on Wall Street. Or the next administration of a rotund orange haired president

Don’t be a psucker, Petey.

All kids play this in grade school. Many grow out of it.

There was a young adult from Nantucket,

Who knew growing up was no fun,

So when he finally reached maturity,

He just said, “Aw, f*** it.”

Ernesto often reminds me of Sedgewick from the Comic Monty.

Which is more disconcerting to Petey, Ernesto or the soccer ball?

Yeah? Well, how many of you smart guys have actually played psycher?

Actually, I agree with Petey’s reaction to this weird apparition. Run, Petey, run!
