Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for October 19, 2011
Transcript:
Ernesto: Peter!Don't give up! We'll find your classroom! I've got hundreds of maps, brochures and guidebooks left - Petey: GAH! I'm late! I'm going to be teh last one to class and everybody is going to turn around stare - HEY! Ah-ha! Mom: you found your classroom by following Andre's footprints? Alice: It's just like a Mother Goose rhyme - "nothing can beat, Friends with big feet."

Excellent rhyme, Alice.

Ernesto (imaginary) must be an official tour guide – he has maps! Andre (big foot) may have just become imaginary as well.

Alice your a genius! And Petey made it through another day!

Petey flees from Ernesto-if-he-really-exists jumping from one panel to the next! What a natural athlete! And, with tracking skills! While of course four-year-old Alice has to be sure she is not overlooked by contributing a cute little rhyme!

Fortunately not big foot’s foot prints. There’d be no telling where he’d end up.

Stuff is so supernaturel in the island-like cul de sac. Too bad the sea of cars outside keep people from noticing it.

I really like Petey jumping out of the world (panel) with his imaginary friend Ernesto, and back to reality.

I’ve only recently discovered this fabulous comic strip. Can someone clue me in on the Ernesto thing?

Only now do I realize he’s named for Andre the Giant.

I think Petey needs to see his Guidance Counselor.

I think Petey needs to just follow Andre around, then he’d always get where he was going! :)

He should leave bread crumbs or something next time, in case he’s not so lucky.

The kid needs to be home schooled for the good of all mankind.

@pos_stock_hoarder I also loved this strip since I first found it here. I also checked out the author’s web site which shows his drawing techniques.

Petey was following Andre’s footprints. Everyone in Petey’s class agrees that Andre is real (loud). Ernesto is still imaginary. If he left footprints, they’d be imaginary too.
