Tuesdays with Snorey.

Guest blogger DavidO here again, making a quick entry from the road, trying to be as funny as I can at a Motel8 lobby’s shared PC while a couple argues loudly about estate planning in the hotel breakfast bar no less than 10 feet from me.

Cory, Westview’s favorite badboy, has been reduced to that “kid sleeping in class character” for a quick gag. We’re so rarely given any glimpses of the Winkerbean homelife that it’s impossible to tell what’s keeping him up at night. Meanwhile, we’re treated to a possible sighting of Cell Phone girl and Celebrating Guy from Westview’s big win!

As the school year grinds down (In real life, a good amount of school years across the country are already over) it’s looking more and more like Westview’s kids might be keep in class well into August as TB tries to make up ground lost to the utterly pointless Promeggedeon storyline.

Comin' up, one side of spatula smack!

Guest blogger DavidO here, filling in as best I can for the very funny TFHackett!

Les looks like he’s just about to set some ground rules with a spatual upside of Cayla’s head, if his tiny flippered arm will let him reach that far. Meanwhile, Keisha’s transformation into a classic Westview Turtle person is almost complete. And, of course, no gathering would be complete without at least mentioning Montoni’s greasy pizza.

…The big “surprise” will be, as always, staggeringly lame and instantly forgettable…

Shocker, huh? Elevating the two gay teens to prom royalty would have required drawing them again and maybe even giving them names or another line or two of dialogue. So much safer to have the kids bestow the honor on Mr. Nate and Mrs. No First Name Green.

…this guy [Batiuk] can’t draw “walking,” can he?

He’s not the best at depicting people expressing excitement, either (remember “bespectacled blue shirt khaki guy” at the basketball playdowns?). Summer and Keisha show proper decorum (probably relieved that they weren’t elected as the royal couple). But some of the Westview teens exert themselves so hard to demonstrate their approval as to risk injury. Maddie (wearing that #*@%in’ hat) shimmies awkwardly and offers a cracked grin. Cory may be a delinquent but he’s no homophobe; he thrusts up a thumb and smiles with his bottom teeth. Rana actually seems to be having a hearty laugh at the Greens’ expense for some reason, while Big Mac is just all like durr-hurr-hurr. But I think it’s Touchdown Guy in the blue tux who best expresses the joy that all of us are feeling…this arc is finally concluded.

Phew! Gay prom wore me out! I’ve asked David O to
step in and take over the reins for a week…enjoy!

Batiuk Interviewed by "CBS This Morning"

Better late than never, CBS This Morning. As the gay prom arc draws to an end, here’s a profile of you-know-who. Basically the standard TB interview that we’ve seen over and over again (“the weight of substantial ideas”) but notable for some footage of Luigi’s of Akron, the real-world inspiration for Montoni’s. Also worth watching just to hear the reporters try to say “Funky Winkerbean”.
