Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 18, 2009
Transcript:
Ernesto: President of the high school student council is just the first step in my public service career. Petey: What's next? Ernesto: I'm not sure, but eventually I see myself commanding a few thousand jump-suited minions from my office within a not-quite-extinct volcano where I maintain my diabolical machinery for controlling the weather on a global scale. Petey: My sister flushes ice cubes so it'll snow. Ernesto: How very charming! She can work for me!

It probably doesn’t pay much, if anything. Volunteer work.

That Student Council President thing always perks up a hyper-villain’s resume.

Ernesto gives me the creeps… like a cross between Peter Lorre and Dick Cheney~

He needs to get a pet cat or monkey or something if he hopes to have any chance of realizing his career ambition.

Hey me too Ernesto! Alas, I was never a student council president so I settled for being a webcartoonist.

If you flush ice cubes to make it snow what do you flush to make it rain? We really need it.

Wondering if Ernesto’s last name is Vader.

habamom– oh my gosh, you’re probably right. How terrifying.

How exciting! Alice’s first job offer :) And who wouldn’t want to work in an environment that includes working in a “not-quite extinct” volcano – nothing like a little uncertainty to shake up the 8-5 day!

Ernesto - talk to Dr. Evil - he can probably give you a few tips (but watch out for Austin Powers - women want him, and men want to be him)

Alice needs to tell Red (at Red and Rover) about flushing the ice cubes. He was hoping for a rare September snow day yesterday.

Calvin used to say you had to appease the Snow Demons to get it to snow.
JP Steve Premium Member about 15 years ago
kimberphi – or Lon Chaney and Dick Cheney!

Please! If Calvin started aging normally when Watterson stopped doing the strip, he’s in his 20’s now.
