Transcript:
this remote corner of the library? Petey: Ernesto? What are you doing? Ernesto: I'm spending the summer at the library, as is my wont, in a refuge of solitude constructed of desks and chairs and study carrels. This is my finest one yet! Ernesto: It's not quite the refurbished extinct volcano of my dreams, but it's a splendid of base of operations. Petey: I went to cartoon camp! Ernesto: Ha-ha! Did they spell it "Kartoon Kamp" in the brochure? Not to mock the ARts, of course, but ha-ha-ha! Petey: It's a - Ernesto: Well, busy busy busy. I'll see you soon, I'm sure! Petey: Yeah, um. Okay!

Oh dear, a refurbished extinct volcano for a base! Next thing you know, it’ll be fluffy white cats and a monocle.

What? in a house atop an extinct volcano or in the caldera? Inquiring minds would like to know. But this is “Waiting for Godot”-land, Petey. There is no “right” answer. Surrender. We have you surrounded.

Ernesto’s a piker. Syndrome in “The Incredibles” built his base of operations in a LIVE volcano. So did Magneto, in X-Men 112.

Perhaps I shouldn’t feel this way, but I begin to identify with Ernesto. I, too, used to spend summer vacation in the library, and I envisioned a life of solitude on Mars–not on an extinct volcano, so I was less practical than our bespectacled antagonist, whose suggestion for the camp’s name was a good one.
Of course, I, like Bill Watterson, identify with Petey as well, which may make sense, as Ernesto may be Petey’s creation.

Flagged; take the Boulder Pledge and pass it on!
