Transcript:
Ernesto: Peter. Petey: Ernesto? Ernesto: Ssh. Not so loud. Petey: What's all this? Ernesto: I've strengthened the defenses of my fortress of library carrels. The Future Adults of America has accused me of sedition! They're after me! But they're as yet unaware of my secret weapon! I'm amassed an army of several thousand origami jumping frogs! Behold - With them I can launch a surprise amphibious assault! Petey: Hey, neat! Did you make this - Mom: Petey. Time to go home. Ernesto: They've found me! Frogs away! Petey: GAH! Mom: Petey. You know not to yell and run in the library! And what's that thing on your head?

Your timing is a bit premature there, Ernesto.

Most kids have imaginary friends; Petey has an imaginary nemesis …

Madeline,little do you know the tribulations of Petey with the ever-questionable Ernesto. But that origami frog on Petey’s head is strong evidence for the reality of Ernesto….

If those things are real, then is Ernesto also real?

Petey’s imagination is so intense, it’s starting to take tangible form. Be afraid.

This may be the most brilliant episode of Cul-DelSac yet.

I thought Ernesto was the founder of the Future Adults of America, or at least its head. If there has been a coup, the implications for the rest of us are disturbing. Which should we fear more, a rudderless FAA, or a rogue Ernesto? At the very least, collateral damage should be high…

It’s when they start “croaking” that the real fun begins.

is petey a figment of ernesto’s nuttiness? i hope petey is the virtually real one made hundreds of these in middle school

I made those frogs as a kid all the time … I can’t believe that I didn’t think of using them as an assault weapon! GAH!
GrailVanGogh over 13 years ago
Proof of Ernesto not being a figment of the imagination.

I was thinking the same thing… the frog on his head proves he’s not imaginary!! ;-)
