Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 19, 2014
Transcript:
Ernesto: President of the high school student council is just the first step in my public service career. Petey: What's next? Petey: I'm not sure, but eventually I see myself commanding a few thousand jump suited minions from my office within a note quite extinct volcano where I maintain my diabolical machinery for controlling the weather on a global scale. Petey: My sister flushes ice cubes so it'll snow. Ernesto: How very charming! She can work for me!

It sounds to me like Ernesto wants to grow up to be a Bond arch-villain, maybe like his quasi-namesake, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. I can see it now….

Sounds like something out of Dr. No or Our Man Flint. Maybe even Matt Helm.

I think this was a story-line on General Hospital back in the 80’s.

Now, I’m kind of hoping that Ernesto really is imaginary. But, if not, I’m pretty sure Alice would consider taking the job.

Don’t forget the white cat, Ernesto; no supervillain is complete without a white cat.

I don’t think she’d make a good minion. A weapon, maybe.

Dr. Evil, Dr. No, Blofeld, Goldfinger — public servants. Great concept!

Alice might end up giving Ernesto a lesson in minioning!
