The novelty of Cayla’s new look is short-lived (although it may have had its intended effect: note the public display of affection by Les in P2), and again, Les turns the discussion back to himself. Anyway, it’s nice to see the couple attending a sporting event in which their daughters are not participating. On the other hand, what the hell else is there to do on a Friday night in Westview?
Well, score one for Cayla. That is, until tomorrow, when Susan shows up in full Bo Derek mode. How long was Susan lurking outside the teacher’s lounge, anyway? Seems like anytime Les and Cayla are together at the school, she’s lurking ten feet away.
Technically: Cayla is sporting braids, not dreadlocks: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-dreads-and-braids.htm
Anyway, why must Cayla be nervous about what “people at school will think”? As long as Lester Love approves.
Keisha: it didn’t sound weird until you followed it up with “as weird as that sounds.” And of course Les will like it: he’s not crazy; he’s (say it with me now) the last sane person on the planet.
Keisha returns home from workin’ up a sweat with her BFF. She’s greeted by mom Cayla, who unveils her latest strategy to woo Westview’s most famous scribe: a new ‘do. Am I reading too much into the look of glassy-eyed desperation in Cayla’s eyes in the last panel? Younger…please oh please tell me I look younger…
