My head asploded as I attempted to summarize today’s strip. At first I was as confused as hell because I thought the sepia-toned flashbacks were hearkening back to Les’s college years except for the fact:
1. He still looks in his 40s.
2. He still has that now retcon-yellow yellow shirt.
Then I realized that Les is getting all sentimental and reminiscing about something that happened literally *yesterday*. The problem is, does his reference to “planning my getaway” refer to when he wanted to leave Kent State as a college student after he graduated or is he referring to want to leave yesterday? ‘Cause if it’s the latter, hey, Einstein, get in your car and drive 90 miles to home.
One last thought: please, God, I don’t ever want to see that Panel 2 expression on Les again unless I can see where his hands are.
