Nothing like waiting til they’re being dropped off at Akron-Canton Airport to ask Cayla’s blessing. Summer tries so hard to look sincere in the fourth panel that her face is starting to melt. Not to worry, Summer: Miss Cayla doesn’t “do” camping (she doesn’t “do” mountains either). Cayla: nice job of dismissing the epic father-daughter trek as a mere “camping” trip. And so much for “wither thou goest, I will go”, huh? Well, you haven’t taken any vows yet. In fact, since you’re already at the airport, here’s the perfect opportunity to get tickets for yourself and Keisha to fly far, far away from “Les”view.

O C Can You D?
Still more of Les’ “anal compulsiveness”: while his teenage daughter schleps all that luggage out to the car (just as well; she’s stronger than him anyway), Les checks for the umpteenth time to make sure the appliances are all turned off. Because apparently Cayla is not living there (nor can she be trusted to keep an eye on the house), and because Darin and Jess, who were shown to be living in Moore Manor just four months ago, have mysteriously disappeared.
Action Packed
Apparently Les has a penchant for arriving at the airport three hours before one of his frequent flights. So what? Is that a bad thing? I haven’t flown in years, but I imagine that’s a good idea in light of current airport security measures. No doubt Batiuk arrives at least this early when he’s jetting off to the next comics convention.
Summit Do, Summit Don't
“A pair of socks? You shouldn’t have. No, really: you shouldn’t have.” Funky gleefully presents his contribution to Les’ arduous endeavor. Good idea keeping the slip, though. I’m sure that if Les doesn’t make it to the summit, the store will be only too happy to give you a full refund for a pair of used, dirty, unpackaged socks.
Asshat
Being a self-aware prick does not make one any less of a prick. And it’s Dr. Livingstone, not Livingston. Prick.
