Cell-ing the Story

Wow! Today’s strip looks like it’s in 3-D! Weirdly-lit Les offers his explanation to weirdly-lit Cayla as to why he is kissing suddenly blonde Susan.

To his credit, Les recounts the circumstances as they happened, and to her credit, or not, Cayla unquestioningly accepts his account. “Some student must have snapped” the picture, no doubt while watching from the grassy knoll. Totally plausible, as is Cayla’s estimate of “five million people on the internet”.

Well, look who’s managed to hang on to his teaching job. And like any Westview teacher, Les doesn’t try to hide his contempt for his students. Just look at the sidelong glance his disembodied head in panel one is giving. “Use your high-tech electronic gizmos in my classroom, will you?” TB again resorts to the trusty made-up website names, and references smart phones in a vain attempt to give his strip that “now” feeling. And for the coup de grâce, the cartoonist who regularly devotes whole Sundays to copping artwork from other cartoonists is going to have his avatar lecture the kids about plagiarism.
