…I’m definitely disappointed in how Batom glossed over the big revenge game vs. Blue Valley, as I’m sure we all were…
Well, maybe we all can take some consolation in the fact that the She-Goats are facing Our Lady of the Cedars in a rematch from two years ago, where the Lady Ladies left the Westview girls on the outside looking in. But uh-oh! Where’s Summer? I’m surprised the whole gym can’t hear her puke.
Seizing the opportunity to have Moore Manor all to themselves, Mr. and Mrs. Freeloader go with the old “flu bug” excuse to get out of having to go to Columbus, though the “swallowed whole” angle is just overkill. Funky’s cocky attitude is starting to give me some flu symptoms, mainly nausea. “We’ll bring him a championship t-shirt”, as if the shirts have already printed and are waiting in the She-Goats’ locker room, along with the cases of post-game champagne.
Um, is the Championship Game going to be played outdoors? Then why is Les glued to the weather forecast before the gang departs for Columbus? Probably to allow TB to unload what feels like a leftover punchline from Crankshaft.
(I really hope everyone gets the Fawlty Towers reference in today’s post title!)
Today’s strip might elicit a warm grin if not for the fact that so many Westviewvians, rather than just say what they mean, prefer to waste everyone’s time by speaking in riddles and wry asides:
“I’d like to buy a book.” “You’re in luck! This is a bookstore!”
“I’m in the mood for some pizza.” “Why, that just happens to be what we serve here!”
“Do you like the flowers I sent you, Cayla?” “Yeah, gee, thanks Les, you really went all out…cheap-ass mutha-…”
The Three Faces (so far) of Cayla, L-R: Her debut, Sept. 2008;In one of those flukes of his year-in-advance workflow, TB uncannily predicts the mild winter that most of the U.S. has experienced this year. If, like yours truly, you don’t ski or snowboard and don’t give a rat’s ass if it never snows ’til next year, you have The Cheapest Man in Westview to thank.
