The Apprentice (and: Contest Announcement!)

Nope, Bull just can’t help himself: he just has to go and get in the way of his daughter making a new friend. Too late: Jessica has invoked the Westview Employment Clause, where everyone in town must work for somebody else in town.

Ease Off, Friend

“What’s that you say? They’ve hit it off? Well! I’d better go and put a stop to that right away!”

The role of panel two Summer is being played by Cartoon Beatle George Harrison.

Nobody's Darling

Inside: Jinx looks at her camera and wonders “Where do I put the film?” while Jessica gives some background on the documentary she’s making (that no one is going to see). “I moved back here to Westview…to interview people who knew my dad…who was a TV personality in Cleveland.” Makes sense, I guess. Outside: Bull allows himself to be made to look foolish and weak by a sixteen-year-old girl.

Jinxica

Today TB confounds probably 85% of his loyal fans by dropping the word “vlogs” into his strip (it’s made even more confusing in that damn Funky Winkerbean comic font…”VhO6S”?). Upon being introduced to Jinx, Miss Haystack Head immediately goes into self-effacing mode, because in Westview, nobody’s creative output is worthwhile unless their name is Les Moore. Bull and Jinx immediately respond by ignoring Jessica.

…'Cause I Can't Stands No Moore

Oh, hells no.

He’s flogging the damn book again…I’m pretty sure at this point that TB is doing this to punish us snarkers.

“Dad” has to wait for school to (finally!) be out before “hitting the road”? What, did he use up his “impersonal days“? And suddenly he doesn’t know how to read a boarding pass? What happened to the Frequent Flyin’ Les who had become so jaded with “the road” that he’d taken to abusing anyone who crossed his path?
