Another day, another new character!

Whoops! Wait, what I thought was a new character is actually just Les in a non-yellow shirt. The effect is rather jarring, like seeing Charlie Brown in a shirt with veritical stripes instead of horizontal ones.

The week is almost over; a little late to be starting a new arc but we’re off and running. To no one’s surprise, (though it’s very, VERY late to be doing so) colleges all over the country are clamoring for the 5’6″ girl who can dunk.  Well, one college anyway. Most snarkers already know exactly which college it’s going to be.

I’m guessing it’ll be the college that allows Summer to continue working at Montoni’s part time while living at home and assistant-coaching at the high school after she climbs Mount Killimanjaro and goes on the road with her dad’s book tour.

 

A glitch in the matrix

Someone refresh my memory but have we not already done this joke!? It was either this or a very slight variation of it.  I’m reminded with strips like these that we longtime snarkers might be recalling the one-a-day gags as being funnier than they were.

In any case, time, or what we understand to be some rudimentary construct of time, seems to be advancing in a forward, almost coherent movement for once. I couldn’t tell you for the life of me when Summer got her driver’s license (or if she even did) but a mess of students are about to graduate from high school, leaving us with Cody, Owen and a gaggle of nameless, faceless students with pencil wrists and melting faces.

Tuesdays with Snorey.

Guest blogger DavidO here again, making a quick entry from the road, trying to be as funny as I can at a Motel8 lobby’s shared PC while a couple argues loudly about estate planning in the hotel breakfast bar no less than 10 feet from me.

Cory, Westview’s favorite badboy, has been reduced to that “kid sleeping in class character” for a quick gag. We’re so rarely given any glimpses of the Winkerbean homelife that it’s impossible to tell what’s keeping him up at night. Meanwhile, we’re treated to a possible sighting of Cell Phone girl and Celebrating Guy from Westview’s big win!

As the school year grinds down (In real life, a good amount of school years across the country are already over) it’s looking more and more like Westview’s kids might be keep in class well into August as TB tries to make up ground lost to the utterly pointless Promeggedeon storyline.

Comin' up, one side of spatula smack!

Guest blogger DavidO here, filling in as best I can for the very funny TFHackett!

Les looks like he’s just about to set some ground rules with a spatual upside of Cayla’s head, if his tiny flippered arm will let him reach that far. Meanwhile, Keisha’s transformation into a classic Westview Turtle person is almost complete. And, of course, no gathering would be complete without at least mentioning Montoni’s greasy pizza.
