Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 20, 2024

Every office needs that one eccentric gal

Future Bond Villain here.

Nah, Alice works for no one, she will be the boss.

Flushing the ice cubes makes sense in a weird little kid way…

Flush ice cubes to make it snow? Hmmm—wonder if that’ll work for rain? (Drought here in SW PA)

Does he eventually change his name to “Gru”?

Other villains have fortresses or lairs. Ernesto wants an office.

We often forget, Ernesto is imaginery.

Ernesto Stavro Blofeld…

Now we know. Later in life Ernesto changed his hair color, and then his name – to Hank Scorpio.

Ernesto’s plan sounds a bit reminiscent of the plot of Our Man Flint.

Maybe Ernesto can get the Chilean Sea Bass with the frickin’ lasers on their heads. :)

With a little bit of In Like Flint thrown in.

Ernesto needs a Not Quite Extinct volcano because he needs the geothermal power to power his personal sauna. I wonder if the Future Entrepreneurs of America are ok with this, or will Ernesto turn in his membership card?

Now we know how the Despicable Me minions idea came from…

WORK for you??!? Alice is nuts enough she’ll OWN you!

That’s not what makes it snow, though. It’s when the grownups all go to the store and buy up all the bread, milk, and eggs — that’s what makes it snow.

Future comic book bad guy.
