I can only imagine how “Wow!” sounds any different from 
Therefore, I imagine Cayla’s “WOW” sounding like the famous sound effect from the Little Rascals:

Cayla, honey: your first reaction to your husband’s good news probably should be something like “That’s great, baby! Congratulations!” instead of immediately trying to gauge how much money’s coming your way. “Television? Movies?!?“ Well, turns out both answers are correct in a sense…but taken together, they equal less than the whole.

By the way, in said year and a half, we have yet to have an actual name for the mysterious “Hollywood Buyer”…neither a person nor a company name.
Mysterious indeed, even to Les: “something called CME…Cable Movie Entertainment”. Sounds like the Funkiverse equivalent of the Lifetime Network or Hallmark Channel. Guess that means no big-name stars, no 3-D…so much for Les’ labor of love being made into “a real movie“.
“It’s your agent…” …Ann Apple, whom we’ve not heard from in over a year and a half, which time Les has apparently spent preparing himself for a letdown. Before Apple Annie can even give the reason for her call, he launches into his concession speech. Silly Les!
Meanwhile, back on Earth…
I imagine Cayla looks at her husband at least once a day and mutters “Amazing…” Today she finds herself in awe of Les’ typing skill. Les explains that he enrolled in typing class in high school as a way to get close to Mary Sue Sweetwater. His scheme to impress Mary Sue by becoming an awesome typist backfired when he got himself promoted to “the advanced class”. Even Les’ failures are a result of him being just so good at everything! All’s well that ends well, though, as his keyboarding chops impress Cayla (chicks dig men who can type fast). Mary Sue, meanwhile, would later find herself on the receiving end of some classic Westview karma.
Just back from a business trip and frankly cannot muster the energy to snark on today’s strip…have at it!
