Transcript:
Ernesto: Ah, Peter! I have something for you! Petey: Ernesto. What...? Ernesto: We'll be plotting our inevitable rise to world domination whilst enjoying eggnog and fruitcake. Petey: Why is there a picture of a bunny? Ernesto: That's not a bunny! It's an ELF! Petey: It has big ears. Ernesto: OF COURSE IT DOES! WHAT'S YOUR POINT? Petey: I'm allergic to bunnies, and elves make me nervous. Ernesto: I'M TEARING UP YOUR INVITATION! YOU SEE! AND STOMPING ON IT! Petey: And I'm sure eggnog combine with fruitcake to form a neurotoxin.

I would’ve thought Ernesto’s elf to be a mouse or a chihuahua.

Probably just an imaginary party, anyway.But Ernesto’s fit of pique seems real enough….

I think he is right about that combo … bouncing off walls when your drunk is not a good prospect?

I’m not sure that fruitcake needs any help.

Fruitcakes are meant to be passed around at Christmas, not eaten.

Not all future adults think like you do Ernesto.

Ernesto = young Carl Rove.

A LOT of Rum, and a LOT of Jack Daniel’s just MIGHT make that twosome tolerable… :-D

A rich mix of ingredients in this strip’s fruitcake. Which approach to the future will we better off with — Ernesto’s scheming and lust for domination, or Peter’s focusing on infinitesimal detail in an effort to avoid engagement with the real world? Who is best poised to be the “adult” of the future, leading us to eventual… what?

OK—I had a total “Pinky & the Brain” moment reading Ernesto in panel 3. Fun stuff.

Silly Petey. Everyone knows fruitcake is carcinogenic.BTW, who ever came up with the idea of candied fruit? Worst stuff ever. Take something that is naturally sweet and nutritious, dry it out, process the bejeezus out of it and cover it in God-knows-what. Yecch.
