Check out Les’ dainty little pose there in panel two as he models his (apparently) new shirt. And what the hell is he doing with his hand in his pocket like that? Annoying and disturbing all at once….ladies and gents, the most repugnant character in the history of everything.
Speaking of repugnant, I see that Summer finally changed out of her trusty KSU hoodie…into yet another KSU hoodie. She’s nothing if not consistent. The combination of those eyebrows and her saying “hunky” in the same panel make this one of the more uncomfortable strips of the week for sure. Based on that square-jawed expression he’s wearing in panel three, she’s giving Mason the heebie-jeebies too. That ridiculous Basketball Jones costume of hers might have flown back in high school but man, the real world is gonna eat that kid alive. She has future WHS gym coach written all over her, am I right?
Strips like this make me wonder if Batiuk has completely forgotten that Summer is female.
People say women are under-represented in media, and I can’t argue with that. However, I will point out that the past several strips have proved there are worse things.
Summer is becoming more awkward and less feminine every day.
Les is concerned that Mason Jarr the movie actor might be recognized? I thought he had “inadvertently” told everyone in Westview and adjoining counties that he would be hosting him.
Logical consistency was never Batiuk’s strong suit. This is someone who assumes sight unseen that people are going to mob someone they can’t possibly have heard of.
Is Tom Batiuk aware that he can’t draw people? Has anyone tried telling him?
Looks like another unannounced crossover–isn’t that Summer over in today’s Rex Morgan MD?

Summer is already over-qualified to by the WHS gym teacher. There will always be an apron with her name on it at Montoni’s.
Haha, people in Westview recognizing someone who isn’t in a comic book or Woody Allen movie… Like that could happen.
But wait, Jarr IS going to be in a comic book movie. Maybe Les’ concern isn’t so dumb after all. Summer’s Bruce Lee bedhead hair-do is still dumb, though. Really, really dumb.
I almost gave up on The Daily Show last night. When Jon Stewart mentioned his guest I misheard and went, WFT! Turns out his guest was actually Wes Moore, not Les. This guy is the exact antithesis of Les Moore.
He is accomplished, thoughtful, articulate, and has written two books not about dead people. For that matter he’s also the antithesis of not-Lisa.
Summer often looks like a long-lost sister of One-Trick Armed Becky, especially with the hair-don’t.
When an alleged “artist” like Batom® is obviously far more comfortable drawing unattractive females that are dumpy and heavy set… because the alternative is drawing unattractive females that barely looks like they are 16 years old… then there’s clearly a serious problem.
Summer looks disturbingly like Mopey Pete Roberts, the comic book writer.
Well with his puns all set, wooding acting and sunglasses, Mason Jarr is sure to win his audition for the new Horatio Caine!!
@$$$WESTVIEW ONCOLOGIST$$$: “Well with his puns all set, wooding acting and sunglasses, Mason Jarr is sure to win his audition for the new Horatio Caine!!”
He just needs to dye his hair red…
When you’re so obscure that every time your name is mentioned you need to be described as a movie actor, then you probably don’t need to worry so much about being recognized.
I know, Summer! Offer to go as Mason’s date! There’s no way in hell that an A-list celebrity would hook up with someone like you, so people would just walk on by…
Summer Moore: Simply the Mary Jane of arm candy.
Aha! So St. Summer the Invisible Golden Flash decided to change into a different KSU hoodie so as to deflect attention from the F-list “movie actor” that will be casually walking the streets of Westview to read a freaking fake comic book!
Brilliant move… unless it isn’t.
Jarr, nailing his Horatio Caine audition.

I’m not up on the lingo kids use these days, but I can’t imagine anyone in their early 20s saying the term “hunky”.
@Jimmy: Assuming that Summer is even in her 20’s.
