Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 12, 2020

whoop-tee-doo for you, Ernesto

It hasn’t worked for Jared Kushner.

Snort

Isn’t Ernesto imaginary? Maybe that is why he wants to be taken seriously.

Eventually Ernesto’s in for a rude awakening.

He wants to be taken seriously, yep. As serious as a heart attack.

There might be some Shrinx that might want to take you seriously, Ernesto!

The coffee maker in the teachers’ lounge?

What a shock he will get at 40.

I´m 68 and luckily no one takes me seriously.

but seriously folks———

Sometimes the real trouble starts when you are taken seriously

I’m waiting for Ernesto to start Moonwalking ;)

Fat chance, when he looks like a quail!

I prefer not to be taken seriously. Yes, seriously.

I’m on the autistic spectrum and was deliberately ignored by people who didn’t want to deal with me. I felt awful about this while I was growing up, but as a senior adult, I find it often works in my favor.

Little does Ernesto know that there are some adults that should never be taken seriously.

Trust me, Ernesto, being an adult is overrated.

You don’t need no fountain, age comes at a speed you will not believe!

Sounds an awful lot like “The Sorcerer’s Stone” to me.

Imagine my crushing disappointment when I realized that adulthood would NOT be the cure for all the evils/stupidities/grossness of adolescence.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry, Ernesto! It won’t work.

Or should I call you Curly?…

In the first panel, Ernesto looks like some kind of insect.

Ernesto may or may not be imaginary be he sure seems deluded judging from his last words there.

I always wondered about Ted Cruz’s backstory!
