Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 28, 2022

As I stated a week ago, trying to raise a little empathy for poor Petey, he suffers more than his share of the weird and eccentric.

Ernesto is quite — what’s the word I’m looking for here? — persistent, isn’t he?

OK. But now I want to know how many adults it takes…

It seems one of Richards points was to hvae us ponder on the reality or imaginary status of Ernesto. Seems he may not have been sure himself.

when you are a kid you want to be an adult …… when you are an adult you want to be a kid

A self-improvement graphic novel – how Ernesto!

How cartoonists does it take to change a bulb?

You can be picky with your food, but I guess you can’t pick your friends, Petey.

I’m sure Alex Keaton would love it!

Don’t grow up, Petey! It’s a trap!

Nerdy is a better term

Ernesto is a pain in the imagination! And, his “most proud of” publication reads more like an advert at the back of a comic book (in the old days) than like a Picto-Fiction….

LEAVE LITTLE PETEY ALONE!! Childhood comes around only once, for a very short time…
