Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 16, 2024

It’s scary when your imagination is smarter than you are.

How about Ego Man.

does that translate into a pie of terror ?

No, you are speaking a little French and a little English. Pied = foot.

Four-eyed Foot Fetish

Rude, Ernesto.

Yorkshireman with an incorrect foot fetish?

Probably, “Pied Dans la Bouche”, would be more appropriate.

Frankly, after that spiel, Petey makes the most sense. Or he could just say, Huh? That should cover it.

Pedi-Snoozzz?

The Tingler?

Numby-Numby?

Love it! I’m going to use that “a bit too AP for you” line myself some time!

Definitely Pe’d-dantic.

Good pun

I don’t think Ernesto is superhero material… now, it could be the incarnation of a super villian, though.

This one made me laugh out loud.

Good old Ernesto is making fun of people who take a word from another language and use it in an English sentence without knowing what it means.

In this case, “terror” is “terreur” in French;

and “pied” is “foot” in English.

Here’s a fun fact: In French the expression “pied à terre” means an apartment at street level, which would be first floor. Getting a “pied à terre” is everyone’s dream, in every old part of a French town or city, since those old apartment houses don’t have elevators.

Probably not flashy enough for you, Ernesto, but you could just go with “Sandman” or maybe “Pins and Needles Man,” although under my breath, I am going to continue to call you numb nuts.

Oh, I know- The Torpifyer

Ernesto Locuna is such an interesting lad, and by interesting I of course mean :O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. To Tingler, dance!

Why you condescending little nose slug!

The Freeze.
