It looks like the amazing talking cat is going to be here all week, folks, along with your’s truly, SosfDavidO. And, as I’d like to point out, it’s not so much what the cat says in today’s strip as it is the cat can talk at all!
Les’s face in Panel 3 is good for a chuckle, because, hey, a talking cat is coming on to you!
Son of Stuck Funky 
As if “Hollywood” is just, like, a room where things go!
As if you can address your script to “Hollywood” and it’ll be made into a movie someday maybe!
As if “Hollywood” is THE ONLY PLACE WHERE MOVIES ARE MADE
Also as if like the million messages from his agent about the film deal aren’t Hollywood. Dummy has a little kid’s idea of how The Industry works.
I see a Very Special Funky Winkerbean coming up (well aren’t tehy all Special) where we have flashbacks to Les’ mom, complete with Sepia tones, and we find out his mom ruined him.
Gag me with a wooden spoon.
“I’ve been bluffing the whole time.”
Could this be some sort of shame explosion on Batuik’s part? A cry for help perhaps as Les of all the Mary Sue’s in the strip is Mary Sueist.
Les is starting to (understandably) have some doubts about his prowess as a novice screenwriter, and it’s because he has mommy issues? Maybe this is just the first time in forever the strip has shown a character reflecting on how the rest of the world might perceive them.
As if we can’t all see the end point in all this “suffering:”
Hollywood: “Less, we read your script, and baby, it’s FANTASTIC! it’s so good, in fact, we want you to direct! We know you’ve never done that before, but someone with your kind of talent can do anything!”
TB is such an idiot.
I was thinking the exact same thing, louder. The week will end with Les being EVEN MORE of a special snowflake.
Two things, first if you’re trying to turn Les into a sympathetic character way too late for that. Second maybe Les sent if to Bollywood by mistake and it is in production as we speak. Throw in some of those Bollywood musical numbers and hell yeah I’d watch it.
Another thing, isn’t the movie like a done deal anyway? All Les is doing is coming up with a rewrite. If his rewrite sucks, they’ll just get someone else to do it. It’s a goddamn Lifetime Movie of the Week! It’s not like they are spending millions of dollars to make a Star Trek sequel or something.
Looks like Les’ Yellow Shirt has fished itself out of the wardrobe in an effort to move back ahead of Funky on the Act III appearances list.
Wasn’t Les raised by wolves or something? It’s been so long.
This just goes to show what a self-centered asshat Les is-he assumes that even his failures are important and interesting to the rest of the world.
Mister Moore, I know Tommy Wiseau, and you sir are no Tommy Wiseau.
The Delicate Genius frets as he’s not sure that his deeply personal work is “good enough” for the production company that’s already paid him…what a dick. Batom’s tortured artist schtick is so laughable, especially given the quality of his usual tripe. The only thing people are passing around and laughing at are collections of these strips.
If you think he’s a shmuck now, wait until Casa Moore burns and he rushes into the building to rescue a laptop because he doesn’t trust the cloud. That’ll REALLY make him the Delicate Genius. It worked for Mike Patterson when he wrote HIS torrent of glurge.
And I don’t mean “laughing at” the strips, either, I mean laughing at the author of those strips. Sorry if that was unclear. We’ve all seen this schtick before and the bearded dick with ears is just getting started with his pathetic “LS” whining. Les is the worst character in the history of fiction and the LS arc is the worst “story” ever written.
Kent State has already held commencement this month…. the semester is over. Shouldn’t we expect Summer & Keisha to return home?
They’ve been gone so long…. and KSU is at least 50 miles away.
Aw, Westview’s Most Specialest Snowflake, Les “Insufferable” Moore, has impostor syndrome. Take note, Pulitzer nominating committee!
One problem: to exhibit impostor syndrome, don’t you first have to be objectively good at something? I mean something apart from hitting imaginary home runs in tiny, imaginary ballparks.
The irritating thing about today’s episode is that while Les is imagining himself as a loser, his “familiar” immediately brings up an excuse: it’s someone else’s fault. Of course.
