A helicopter grandparent?? A grandparent volunteering put up prom advertisements in the school? Because that is SO what happens in real life. Wow, this is real 1/4″ from reality, folks.
Since Batiuk’s given himself an entire month (except Sundays!) to tell this story, he can take pains to establish exactly what Becky’s mother is doing hanging around the school, thus setting her up to be the villain in the Coming Gay Prom arc. The groaner punchline and Linda’s panel 3 smirk? Merely a bonus.
