C’mon, Jarod! You know janitors aren’t allowed to smoke in here, either..

Right off the bat, some fellow snarkers are wondering why a 40 year old man in a trenchcoat is hanging out in a high school bathroom. There is a period in everyone’s life when they can wear a trenchcoat; for most of us, it’s the period of ONE WEEK when you’re 19. Unless you’re a detective, then you have a free pass. Otherwise, trenchcoats in today’s societal view = trouble.

Post Columbine? Serious trouble.

I’m going to just imagine Jarod was held back a few years and has a bad case of really early receding hairline but my Snarker sense is still tingling on this one, as I have no idea where this arc could be headed. Hopefully it’s more than just a “Smoking is bad” lecture from 1967. The Brady Bunch covered that very well, thank you.

What Does The Coach Say?

Hey, that title is topical! Topical is automatically funny, right? I’m sure hoping so, as we continue to plow through this Sahara Desert of comedy in today’s strip.

I almost wish TomBat would have “tackled” the issue of high-school concussion-related injuries “head-on” instead of what we just went through!

Friday Night Blights

Okay, the fact the team is terrible aside, today’s strip got me thinking: Do they even make clothing for amputees?

The first thing I stumbled on was a Zazzle site, maker of fine coffee mugs and keychains, that showcased amputee humor. A lot of people far finer than I am have lost limbs for a variety of reasons, and it’s refreshing they seem to have a sense of humor about it. Still, I just can’t imagine pinning up a sleeve every morning. Why go through the trouble?

Ah well, at least the pinned-up sleeve is someting consistent in this strip.
