  1. Sigh. I assumed they’d be dropping by to gawk, just not quite this soon. Summer is always at her most unbearable when she’s twee, so this could get real ugly real fast. Cayla seems relaxed, though, so I guess Les somehow tricked her into taking her meds…”off-camera”, of course.

    I love how the girls flip out as soon as Cayla tells them the big news, without so much as a how or why. It’s so believable, as it really captures how “these kids today” are, right? No wonder they’re rarely around anymore.

  2. The revelation that Summer and Keisha(?) a) are actively avoiding their parents and b) are as annoyed with awkward dialogue like “Mason Jarr, the movie actor we just mentioned two seconds ago” as we are puts them in the top rankings of the strip’s most relatable characters.

  3. I guess the girls will be sleeping on a couch, so Mason Jarr the Hollywood Actor can use the guest room.

  4. Mason Jarr is famous?? Then why was he going to star in a made for tv movie on a basic cable channel. Oh TB, to see a quarter inch from your reality must require some really good drugs.

  5. Rusty: Although it’s never really been explained, I think there’s an extra bedroom other than Summer’s, as Boy Lisa and Jessica lived there before Summer & Keisha left for KSU. Boy Lisa even gave Summer the flu that led to her heroic basketball free throw, as I recall.

    DOlz: And is it weird that Summer’s so excited over the actor who was going to play Les in “Lust For Lisa”? Yuck.

  6. With Mason Jarr, the movie star, staying at her house, will Summer finally shed that damn hoodie? It’s almost as annoying as Owen’s chullo.

    Eh, instead of revealing an alluring feminine physique, removing the sweatshirt will probably show that Summer wears a Montoni t-shirt beneath it and that “she” is actually a “he”.

  9. @Epicus Doomus, Thanks a lot! I really try not to think about what goes on behind closed doors at the Hotel Moorifornia.

  10. Great. Don’t show their social lives at Kent State, Tom. Don’t show their struggles with their coursework either and especially don’t show their not being able to cope with being medium-sized fish in the NCAA pond! DO show them acting like shrieking bobbysoxers hounding a movie star to death because that’s what girls are, Tom.

    To paraphrase Sterling Archer…..eat a buffet table of dicks, Batiuk!!

  11. Even by Batom®’s ridiculously low standards, today’s installment is an abject turd.

    And it will only get worse from here.

  12. Kent State women’s basket ball has a game today…and then on the road next week… but at 2-11 this year, maybe having Summer & Keisha off the team will improve their record.

  13. @JerrytheMacGuy: You must not have seen Summer in her t-shirt and boxers during the anniversary arc.

  14. A tip o’ Sarge’s bayonet to Battack for the fundamentally flawed dialog in P3. Why did they both say “we” simultaneously? It would have been natural for each one to blurt out “I’ll be there!” but for both to use the collective “we” simultaneously screams that someone else is charting their course. But I suppose it’s tagged “writing”. Also, it’s about Les and his hillbilly moonshiner friend and so-called “actor” Mason Jarr, so fuck it. AmIright?

  15. @Rusty: Just when I thought I successfully brain-bleached this horrific sight from my mind….

  17. AAAARRRGGHHHH!!! Saggy, bra-less Summer!! My eyes!!!!

    Tom, what is WRONG with you?! You’re too lazy to add the typical necessary details, but you make sure to include…..AUGH.
