Well, it’s heartening to see Les kissing his flesh-and-blood living bride this New Year’s, however awkwardly. Then we’re treated to yet another twisted-face-o’-rage from Cayla, as TB belatedly delivers the payoff to the gag he’s been setting up since last week.

The upside: this time Les is kissing an actual woman. The downside: Les, kissing an actual woman. At least he did smirk today. Happy New Year to all!
Go ahead and take the call, Cayla. You know Les was waiting for an opportune moment to slip away for a corpse make-out session anyway.
I see Les has sprung for sparkling apple cider for the evening’s festivities. Never let it be said he doesn’t know how to party!
Hi, Biff Burns from the 1/4″ Sports Desk with this score:
December 30, 2012
Kent, Ohio – Despite having an eight point lead with seven minutes to play in the game, Kent State (1-11) let the game slip away to give Robert Morris (1-10) their first victory of the season.
So remember kids…If you play a sport, go ahead.
So when Slumber and Karneesha got b-ball scholarships to K*nt State, we were supposed to be impressed. Apparently they’ll take anybody. They suck! Think BatYuck will show heroic wins and playoff appearances featuring star player, Slumber? Naw, even he would be embarrassed by the silliness of that.
Meanwhile, that’s Dead Lisa on the phone. And this is not the first time she’s called this world from Hell, or wherever she is. She’s calling to warn Crayola what a crappy kisser Mr Midget Dick is.
before long batack will draw Cayla like cousin it from adams family show,all helmet hair no face
Some things can’t be unseen.
I’ve been absent for a few days, so I forgot that Cayla was waiting for her daughter to call. My thoughts were basically:
Panel 1: “What, no dead Lisa?”
Panel 2: “What would dead Lisa think??”
Panel 3: “OMIGOD DEAD LISA KNOWS”
Even when he doesn’t drag Lisa in, she’s all that comes to mind. Ugh.
What, no dead Lisa?
Hey, you see that phone’s ringing, right…?
The question is Keisha:
A) pregnant.
B) coming out.
C) diagnosed with cancer.
Ewww, imagine having to kiss that moustache. How does Les stand it?
(Sorry, that was fit only for Comics Kingdom, but I couldn’t resist.)
If Less’ hairline recedes any further, he’ll have silver wings on his ass cheeks.
Ugh, the very idea of intimacy with Les gives me the heebie-jeebies.
I miss Black!Cayla. White!Cayla is boring.
After seeing P1, I know I’ll be toasting the new year with glass after glass of 30 weight Pennzoil.
DIDN’T smirk today, I mean. Thank God, those smirks were completely out of control.
Shouldn’t Cayla have got a chance to talk to her daughter after the game? Of course, that would make too much sense.
Tomorrow Keisha will have bad news–either that or we just has a three-day setup to a joke that couldn’t been done without the setup.
WAIT WAIT WAIT! Let me make a prediction. It’s not Keisha, it’s Lisa! The Les Creep-o-New Years from 2010-2011 did feature Lisa on the phone just weeks earlier, and in this case, Lisa is ANGRY that Les is kissing another woman!
Gee whiz, I hope Crayola never gets cancer. If all her hair falls out, we’ll see that her head is shaped like a bowling pin.
I see these two nitwits are spending New Years with the only people who can stand them.
This strip is still a “gag a day”, as the picture of any woman kissing Les is causing me to retch.
Sometimes I can access the strips in advance, sometimes I can’t. Doesn’t look like I can get to Tuesday’s strip before midnight, so I’ll post a placeholder and follow up with the snark.
Just in case you planned to be sitting in front of the computer at midnight on New Year’s 🙂
Les: “Hmmph. You’re right, she IS calling! Just more proof that technology is EVIL.”
Cayla: “Yeah! Why couldn’t they invent something GOOD about cellphones?”
Les: “Like some sort of way of leaving messages, when the phone owner is unavailable?”
Cayla: “Or some way of sending messages comprised of just, well, text! Even if said text is just a brief message to set up a more convenient call time!”
Les: “Technology moves so slowly.”
Cayla: “Yeah.”
Les: “So, what did you want to talk with her about that you couldn’t when we visited last week?”
Cayla: “Oh, I just wanted to ask her if she had anything she wanted for Christmas!”

A list of the 11 public universities with the worst graduation rates includes two campuses of Kent State. Perhaps Funky went to one of these campuses.
Keisha’s calling now because she’s afraid the Nee Year’s Eve kiss might lead to the creation of a Moore half-sibling: and she wants to nip THAT in the bud.
Unfortunately for us poor readers….Keisha was a second too late in making her call.
Les grips his champagne glass in his mitt in the most uncivilized manner possible, and he continues to hang onto it even as he starts to make out with Cayla. What a buffoon. He better hope he doesn’t spill any on her truly ugly pink dress (or her chemically enhanced hair!) or she’ll start beating his ass again.
And look at how he reacts when the phone rings. If Les were ever to become a superhero, he would have to be !!The Flouncer!! What a ridiculous position.
Anyway, Cayla, just because pink might be a good color for some women doesn’t mean it’s the right color for you.
The shadow of their two heads in panel 2 is in the shape of a butt. I realize this comment makes me 12, but it beats watching Les intimacy, which, ewww!
I almost forgot that the War on Limbs continued this New Year’s Eve: behold the elastic wonder that is Cayla’s left arm in panel 2! Wow! That thing must be at least ankle length. No doubt it’s an unintentional portrayal of Cayla as a knuckle-dragger.
I almost forgot that the War on Limbs continued this New Year’s Eve: behold the elastic wonder that is Cayla’s left arm in panel 2!
No doubt you mean panel 3, where Cayla’s arm looks like a really long tube sock draped over Les’s shoulder.
Also, speaking of the War on Limbs, where’s her right arm in that panel? Is she becoming Becky’s mirror friend?
It’s not champagne in those glasses.

Meanwhile, I’M fantasizing about Principal Nate making out with Dead Lisa.
(Love the Loser Horns, John.)
Right on both counts! It’s panel 3 that features the Amazing Elastic Cayla arm. And where is her other arm?!
Listen up all you hidebound, pedantic literalists!
Dreading the upcoming Comic Con arc? Weeping bitter tears over the endless Crazy Harry Selz hiz comix sequence? Eyes glazed over just THINKING about DeadSkunkHead’s biased, wildly inaccurate rant on the history o’ comical books?
Do I have a book for you. THE COMIC BOOK HISTORY OF COMICS is something I received for Christmas, and it’s the perfect antidote to Tom Batiuk’s sanitized, censored, and frankly nonsensical view of his own medium.
Frankly, there was no one true starting point. No one unified narrative or explanation for the twists and turns this influential yet rarely respected art form has taken.
It also doesn’t take itself seriously and is funny as heck.
Give it a read if you see it at your local library or bookstore! It covers everything from why comic strips finally made vaudeville humor go mainstream to the modern issues of Evil Digital Technology and Piracy. Woo!
Lots and lots of info on European, Asian, and COMPLETELY NON-SUPER-HERO COMICS as well.
(It’s by Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey, two seasoned pros who know their stuff.)
