Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling More Great Imaginary Conversations Conducted by Louis Maltby With Mets Third Basemen David Wright, After School, On The Way To The Library. Louis: See, when you BLOCK, you use two fingers to hit the X and Y buttons really, really fast. Boy: Hey, Maltby! Louis: Yeah? Boy: You're pretty cool. You want to learn our secret handshake? Louis: Um...okay. Boy: Great. First you do this, then you...Here, let Gardner hold your backpack. Then, up... Boy; Here's the hard part. You make a gun, and you turn around and shake like this...That's right, you're getting it. Louis: So, we'll do this when we see each other in the hall or something? Boy: Absolutely, Maltby. Here, let's practice. Boy: Bam, bam, bam. Right, wiggle your fingers more... Boy: Now shake, shake! You've got it, Maltby! Boy: Haw! Don't forget it, now. See ya! David Wright: I'm sorry I was here to see that. Louis: First: You weren't! You're IMAGINARY! Second: YOU only hit TEN HOME RUNS this year!

All the Louis Maltby cartoons are genius. Great portrayal of the cognitive dissonance that happens when your puffed up imaginary self collides with real life.

Poor Louis. If it weren’t for imaginary friends, he wouldn’t have any at all, except for the kids who are even more nerdy than he is.

Louis, from now on you should imagine Wright with that cartoonish Gazoo-size batting helmet.
