Transcript:
Ernesto: So, Peter, may I ask what sort of comic books you're producing? Petey: Well, I draw, a comic book, then Andre draws one. Then we do it again. It's like a club - Ernesto: What? You mean, artisanally created single-copy comics with no distribution? What a waste of time! FAUGH! Petey: I am so glad he's imaginary.

Could be, the tall girl is imaginary as well. I know lots of girls are.

It’s hard to imagine that Petey hasn’t made a cartoon about Ernesto, that how it’s done isn’t it Richard?

Of course Ernesto is imaginary! Mr. Thompson said so himself in the third panel. (Although he misspelled faux.)

Ernesto moves too much to be a subject in Petey’s comics.

I’d think of getting my imagination wiped clean if I were you, Petey.

1) If he was imaginary, he wouldn’t be so obnoxious. You control what you imagine unless you’re sleeping.2) If other kids have seen him then he’s not imaginary.
