The reference today is to the “script Ohio” signature formation of the Ohio State University Marching Band.
I suppose that “with only nine kids in the band”, they’d have had one marcher for each letter in W-E-S-T-V-I-E-W. Plus one to dot the “i”.

When Harry Drilled Harriet
I’ll say this for Harry Dinkle: he’s the one character in this strip who looks like his old self in flashbacks. A few weeks ago, college-age Les was depicted without his helmet hair and picture-window specs, looking almost manly. TB has had less success updating Cindy Summers’ narwhal-inspired 80s coif. And during Funky’s flashback last summer, teenage Holly was transformed from a Picasso-eyed ditz into Britney Spears. But classic Dinkle retains his character, with his low-slung Gestapo hat and airline pilot uniform. Nowadays, however, he’s just another of TB’s doughy, indistinguishable, cranky old white men.

“My…Commodore 64? What? No, no, charcoal sticks…on deer hide…you see? Like primitive man, cavemen…Commodore, Commodore 64, that’s…that’s a computer, right? I’m talking about primitive techniques…before ink and paper, even; before printers and computers…your joke, it, it makes no sense; it wasn’t funny at all…why are you grinning that hideous grin?”

You can go here to see today’s strip…or, sit back and enjoy Wally quoting the inimitable Charlie Sheen!
Café au Lame
The coffee klastch continues. Becky, in a roundabout way, extends to Wally an invitation to Westview’s spring concert. Maybe she’ll let him sit in on trombone. Buddy seems riled up at Becky’s question in panel 2. No need for alarm, though: Wally in panel 3 looks positively chill. Hey, is that Ersatz Bros. Coffee they’re drinking?
