HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Someone must have spotted the tribal tattoo on Cory’s bicep…

I have to confess: this week’s storyline is actually kind of fun. The pizza slice costume is perfectly ridiculous, kinda suggesting the work of R. Crumb. And forcing Cory to wear it is positively poetic. I don’t know if Cory’s body language is intentional…it seems a little nuanced for this strip. But I like how in panel 2 he appears startled, and his dejected slouch in panel 3 is apparent even through the foam-padded costume. Well done, TB, well done. I shall lay aside the snark gun for today. Besides, it’s not your fault that the colorist messed up girl 3’s hair in the second panel.
