Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 19, 2019

Ernesto is quite forcefully persuasive, isn’t he?

As long as he’s out of your hair.

Most kids won’t even know the position exists.

Ernesto does not realize half of the HS kids would vote for him for hilarious entertainment!

Today: student council president. Tomorrow: despotic emperor!!

Peter Pooperscooperdock’s imaginary friend has big ideas….one day he could run for office.

Would Ernesto count as Petie’s best friend? The only other person we see is the curly haired girl (name escapes me at the moment…wait – there it goes…

But, will there be lower taxes?

Considerable executive is an euphemisms for bossy… wait… isn’t Ernesto imaginary?

Indeed they would, and Ernesto is getting a head start on the Future Adults of America. Is this the first time we’ve seen Ernesto’s family name? Witty. (Lacuna in Latin—and English—means a gap or void; something missing.)

Ernesto will either grow to be a politician or a psychopath – no great difference…

You’d expect that of a Lacuna!

That should be an easy sell to the high school students.

Ernesto has too much ambition. I do not trust such ambition. Didn’t Shake-speare have something to say about a man with a lean and hungry look? Kinda applies here, even if Ernesto has a plumper look….

Just get rid of him, sign away.
