Could Be A Movie Deal Here

Anyone waiting for some sort of Bautikian demise for Coach better stop holding their breath; no, from the look of today’s strip we’ve got at least a few months of “Unlikable loser no one likes teaches coach a few things about football, and, in turn, learns a lot about life.” strips coming down the pike. Now, if Jerod is supposed to be the new coach’s assistant or new quarterback I couldn’t tell you, but prepare to wallow in 80s high school movie troupes that’ll culminate with Jerod being crowned the Westview Homecoming King.

Not bad for a 30 year old who still hangs out at school!

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!
