Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for December 03, 2021

This is incredibly good!

Don’t count your chickens, Louis.

Yeah, I probably imagined stupid #$%^ like this when I was his age. Teenagers are stupid. And yet adults still complained about Greta Thunberg and others who care about real stuff. Adults are stupid.

Parents: the true cock-blockers of teenage pity sex fantasies.

That’s kinda sweet :-D

All right mister, get to work on that book report!

It’s been eons since I was a teen, but Mr. Bolling nailed it today. Thanks!

Well, much better imagining a reason to feel sorry for yourself than having to deal with the real thing. Though in truth the Daydreaming Louis doesn’t seem upset, more like “at a bit of a loss”.

Louis has a pretty detailed imagination.

A great way to meet girls.

Whatever you get from this, it happens in real life.

I was certain at the beginning that it was just a story to get out of school work.

Forgive me Louis!

The story would make good school work for composition writing.

Louis isn’t gonna grow up to be Batman….yet.

It’s a takeoff on parents being certain that the kid was in a fatal accident or kidnapped if he’s five minutes late getting home.

This “Louis Maltby” character of yours is CLEARLY based on my own personal adolescent inner life, and I want my cut, Bolling! My imaginary lawyers will be in touch.
