Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 23, 2011

BYE Ernesto!

Run Petey run.

Sounds like a meeting of the Young Trilateralist Commission!

Have any of you seen the link on the Calvin and Hobbes strip? A new painting done by Bill Watterson of Petey. Very interesting.

AM Talk Show Host or Dodge Ball?

Soccer Sucks…

Psych soulds a lot more entertaining than soccer (Snore!)

@JoanHelen I just did. Very interesting that Petey has a big nose and buckteeth. Thanks Bill! More art now!!

Suddenly, soccer sounds much better.

Hillbilly, and Grog, I guess that’s why they make different sports. And since soccer is the fastest growing sport in the world - and in the US - I guess there are a few folks who might disagree with you.

Of course, you could watch baseball which has the advantage of never requiring you to actually pay attention. The only sport more boring to watch is golf. Oh yeah, and now they put poker on sports channels. Please - soccer games score as high as many baseball games (I’ve seen plenty 1-0 baseball games), and if you’ve ever actually played both, you’d know that soccer requires more skill and athleticism.

cdward-please explain to me how any aspect of soccer is as difficult as hitting a pitched baseball.

All this “My sport is better than your sport” idiocy is what’s really boring.

If you don’t like a sport, don’t watch it and don’t play it. Complaining that it’s “worse” than what you like is not going to change the minds of the millions of people who DO like it; it just makes you look closed-minded and provincial.

I opened my mind to it once, Fritzoind and then closed it and padlocked after playing and watching a few.

And yes I will prefer to watch baseball, cdward. I enjoy a pitching due & prefect games as much as a slug fest.

I read comics I like: I watch sports I like: I read books I like…

If you like something I don’t…

A soccer field is just too large, it takes eons for something interesting to happen. I’ve never watched baseball, but I think volleyball is the most exciting and eventful sport to watch.

Suddenly soccer holds a newfound appeal to Petey!!

Future Adults of America?

Is this a little swipe at the FAA?

All of you who don’t appriciate that tiddly winks is the best and hardest sport of all are a bunch of jealous losers!

“The object is to crush your opponent by every means necessary.”

So THATS where the commenters on Non Sequitur come from.

This is an off week for the offensive juggernaut that is Philadelphia Union. Soccer Rules!

Then you try it, Richard S. Russell! See if you can even make the Mendoza line. And no that wasn’t 1 in 4 - he has lucky to hit 1 in 5. May all the pitches thrown to you be curves, knuckleballs & sinking fast balls that just have the bottom drop out of them when they get to the plate.

Psycher sounds like Easter brunch at our house!

I’ll watch a little beach volleyball, for the cuties and because we used to play after work some Fridays in Newport Beach (Orange Street has some amazing sand; dive on it and it’s fluffy!)

I played a year or so in Little League, but pro baseball is a lot like watching paint dry. I’ll watch a couple minutes of highlights.

I don’t watch porn; it just reminds me of awkward moments.

I think Petey should play Rock Paper Scissors.

I enjoy watching my favorite teams–whatever they’re playing. Just watched Cincinnati Reds win in St. Louis. :-D

Spectator sports have never been for me (once was required to attend a HS support meet of “our team”. I only like running and swimming that I’ve done on my own. As a septigenarian, I just like doing my own thing -even swimming bare- feels good!!

Exit, stage left……………………………………..

Actually, that should be right up Peter’s alley

sometimes i get the feeling that ernesto is petey’s alter ego
