Wow. Les’ ego-fest just gets better and better. The years have not been kind to Mary Sue’s “most wanted bod”, and now Les, who in high school was such a nerd as to wear glasses in the swimming pool, can enjoy feeling even more superior to her. No “Hi, Mary Sue, thanks for coming, so nice to see you again!” Instead it’s “Really…what a surprise…you’ve gotten so…so fat. Muah-hah-haaahhh!“

“Les” Misérable
Must be a shift change at the pizzeria. Les has handed over his Montoni’s apron to Summer, and traded his trademark yellow shirt for the spiffy green one that Funky wore to the movies on Sunday. But he still wears the resigned expression of a man who simply lays back and allows life to happen to him. Douche.
Well, Crank My Shaft!
Whaaaaaa? and double Whaaaaaa? This week we’ve gone from time-wasting non-punchlines to jam-packed exposition and mind-melting comics crossovers! Where to begin? Here’s an old man named Ed, looking for his daughter, the “well-known Chris Crankshaft”? If she’s well known and has an outlandish last name like that, why does Ed have to wander Central Park asking the homeless to help “locate” her? I’m not a long-time reader of Crankshaft, and I understand that Ed is stubbornly old-school, but has he not heard of the Google?
Chickens**t one day, chickens**t the next
And as quickly as it arises, the whiff of intrigue dissipates. Les’ reunion with Apple Annie Apple turns joyous, rather than confrontational. He recalls Annie the former she-hobo, clueless that she’s the one who has his lost manuscript stashed in her top drawer.
Wait Just a New York Minute
Methinks Les smelleth a rat? So then…when did he put two and two together and surmise that Apple Annie got her mitts on his lost “masterpiece” back in her Central Park days? Just now, sitting across the desk from her? Or was this whole trip to the city, ostensibly on Montoni’s business, carefully set up so Les could have his big scene?
