Forking Wedgeman

1. I suspect the masthead gives the clue–once again Bull steps in and “saves the day” probably in the same way that Principal Nate “saved the day” in the Gay Promageddon.

   I suspect Tom Batiuk obsessively reads sites like these, so I’m going to say this: Bull is one of those characters like Dinkle where a little goes a long way. Could we not see him for say, six months?

2. Dear Tom Batiuk: Please take some time to actually listen to teenagers before attempting to write dialogue for them. I know your contempt and loathing for them will make this extremely difficult, but believe me, the alternative is extremely unpleasant.

3. Slowly, slowly… this week is going about as fast as Durrin and Jessica heading to the door of Montoni’s.

   Introducing a character like Jarod begs the question, why isn’t our middle-aged goth girl hanging out with him? Birds of a gothic feather, right?

4. More solid proof that Batiuk writes these little jests one year and nine days in advance.

5. You got that straight BC. I’ve really had my fill of Bull and the band for another year, which is why I’m fully expecting a three-week “Bull helps the band sell turkeys” arc any time now.

6. @ Bad Wolf, I’m afraid you’re incorrect. At the end of that seven days of Darin and Jessica shuffling around, it was actually Frank and Occasionally African Lenny who headed for the door.

   So by that logic, by next Monday it will be Alex demanding drugs from the bully.

7. Wedgeman’s career training for being a DEA agent is going along pretty well. Though his method is a little too direct, IMHO. Asking the Tijuana Cartels to hand over the drugs is going to result in Wedgeman’s head being attached to an explosive turtle.

8. Please. let this be something that, while harmless for women, will do something “interesting” to Wedgie, like give him moobs (man boobs) or cause his balls to shrivel as he begins to menstruate.

   What a douche…

9. Check out Alex’s sudden breakout of Funky schozz in panel two. Perhaps the reason why she needs the pills? If so, I’d definitely keep taking them if I was her.

10. While I’m happy that Alex (I think that’s the goth girl’s name) doesn’t look like she’s 40 in the last panel, she seems like the kind of girl that puts her make-up on with a paintbrush.

11. Obviously, they are anti-fluctuating-age pills. Obviously, she needs to up her dosage to stay the same age for three panels.

12. **Asking the Tijuana Cartels to hand over the drugs is going to result in Wedgeman’s head being attached to an explosive turtle.**
    Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

13. The Alex in panel 3 is the best drawing TB has done in years. She almost looks human.

14. Looks like Owen may be using Demon Technology to record the incident on his cell phone. That said, since when are Pez considered pills?

15. That sound you just heard was my computer monitor being crushed by “the weight of substantial ideas.”

16. Wedgeman, nothing!! Look at his beak in panel 2! That’s Crankshaft in a wig, hoping those pills will cure his erectile dysfunction!

17. –That’s Crankshaft in a wig, hoping those pills will cure his erectile dysfunction–

    Please, don’t ever mention Crankshaft and erectile in the same sentence.

18. Seriously If I was a bully looking to shake someone down for drugs it would be Owen – his whole manner screams ‘wake and bake’. I realize misuse of perscription drugs are a major issue – at least per the ads for a drug free America I see – but if there was a more ham fisted way to depict it I’m hard pressed to thinkk of it.

19. Please let the pills be The Pill! Please let Owen & Alex be frakking! (Sorry, Cody.)

    Nah. Way too interesting for Batominc.

20. “Fork it over” probably means Alex stabs his hand with a fork and gets expelled due to the school’s zero tolerance policy re: weapons. Let’s hope.
