Relent-Les

This woman will not take no for an answer. Lunch room duty? No problem!

“Thanks, but sadly…I’ve still got diahrrea from our dinner the other night at Toxic Taco.” “No problem! Just bring the chapter and we’ll work on it in the crapper!”

“Thanks, but sadly…I really haven’t spent much time with Cayla lately. I think I should see if she’s around.” “No problem! I tied her up in the janitor’s closet!”

“Thanks, but sadly…you’re really getting to be a pain in the ass.” “No problem! I’ll try killing myself again and you’ll have to rescue me!”

Not If I See You First

For a high-school jock, Summer’s got a rather girly-girl bedroom. Pink walls, pink draperies…anyway, in panel 3, why is she giving that “hmmmm” look? Unless this scene is taking place on a Friday, of course Susan will see Les tomorrow. They work together.

I have to say that Summer’s profile in panel one reminds me of this famous “ambiguous image”: which do you see, a young girl or an old woman?

"Stuff" Shell

Cayla’s Netbusters DVD of Whatever Works sits on the kitchen table, next to the now-warm bottle of champagne. There will be no Woody Allen film fest tonight over at “Summer’s house”. Instead, Mrs. Station Wagon and the Grounded One have some “stuff” to do. I will leave it to you, readers, to dissect the totally stilted exchange in panel 2.

Feck-Les

All Les needs is a pair of suspenders and a  coffee mug to complete his metamorphosis into another quintessential a-hole: Lumbergh from Office Space. “Yeah, ahh, Cayla, I’m gonna need you to go ahead and take a rain check on our movie night, okaaaay? Thaaaaaannks…” And when given the chance to speak now or forever hold her peace, Cayla instead gives her tacit approval…y’all officially deserve whatever you get, Cayla, from here on in.

Clue-Les

Just when even a Harry Dinkle story arc would be welcome…and just when you thought Les couldn’t be more of an insufferable prick.  He doesn’t even allow her to get a sentence out before cutting her off. And Netbusters? Yeah, I’ve got them bookmarked, right along with Facespace.

Great Picasso-esque profile of Les in panel 3: both eyes have begun to migrate to the same side of his face.
