Les is less than thrilled to learn that his “mystery” destination is Kilimanjaro, but he is cut off in mid-whine by wild-eyed Summer clawing at his shoulder.
In the interview I referred to a few posts ago, TB gave away some previews of FW’s 40th anniversary year. In addition to Les and Summer’s Kilimanjaro trek, he also cites “a storyline in May when a same-sex couple wants to attend the prom together”. Given Summer’s masculine attire, I wonder if she might be one half of that couple?
We have a winner. Too bad for the bald guy in the background, though. He really had his heart set on a trip to anywhere but Westview.
Hey, speaking of prizes, Vol. 1 of The Complete Funky Winkerbean is available for pre-order. Each volume will cover three years of strips, with a new volume being issued each year. Forty-five bucks is a little pricey (for me, anyway) but it would be refreshing to revisit the funny Westview of old…
“It’s not like you’re gonna actually win or anything.” This is either clumsy foreshadowing (we know Les is gonna win that Kilimanjaro trip) or Bull is reverting to being mean to Les like back in high sch– oh, wait, that never happened.
The solidarity twixt football team and band is demonstrated again in today’s strip. Rather than actually depict the band, TB keeps them out of the frame, lest they detract attention from the real focal point of panel one, Becky’s painstakingly rendered pinned up party-blower left sleeve.
It’s not too late, Cayla. Take your daughter and run, run far from this man. Once Les starts calling you his “favorite girl“…it is not going to end well…
