The school lunchroom is an absolutely ideal setting for what had damn well better be the final chapter of this juvenile love triangle. It took twenty (thirty?) years, but Les the Nerd is now Les the Stud. Get in line, ladies. Cayla: now do you get it? Les: Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last ? Have you left no sense of decency ?
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.
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.
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.
Keisha returns home after a long night of bustin’ heads with her gang, the Baseball Furies. That cold bottle of Cristal would go down real good…Better put it back on ice, though; once Cayla tells her daughter who Les was gettin’ “busy” with, we’re goin’ extra innings!
