Oh, you forgot that Jinx was a “sports junkie“? You must not remember her excitement when step-mom Linda signed her up to play girls’ softball a few summers ago (and guess who she volunteered to coach?). The news of the She-Goats’ advancing to the state tournaments is greeted with utter indifference by everyone but Summer, Cayla, and Les, who is smirking up a storm. Jim the science teacher isn’t even looking at the TV; he just stares into space, contemplating retirement.

Plaque Buildup
Maddie the Hat steps forward to accept her Senior Leader Award, though we’ve not seen her demonstrate any leadership, except when it comes to hassling neighbors to buy band candy.
I can see a twit like Les equating air guitar ability with real musicianship, but a music educator like Becky really should know better.
Banq-wit
That dimple (visible even at a distance in panel 2) signifies that Becky’s saying something witty (or thinks she is). And Harriet can’t help but remind her husband what a humorless prick he was when he had Becky’s job.
Celeb attendees at the band banquet include (L-R) Jabba the Hutt, John Cleese, Schroeder from Peanuts and Milhouse Van Houten.
Scorched Turf
TB’s all over the place this week! Today we find ourselves at the Westview ♫♩ Band ♬ Banquet ♪. Becky uses the occasion to blow sunshine up the ass of her mentor, Harry Dinkle.The sleeve on her blue blazer is pinned up so tight that the torque pulls her mouth completely to the left side of her face.
I’m at a Loss to Come Up with a Title Here. Sorry.

This is the bottom of the stupid barrel. Earlier in the week Owen was oblivious—he maintained he had done nothing wrong. Now, it seems he knows what “gave it away”. Query how he could think that he had tipped his hand when he didn’t know he was doing anything wrong in the first place. Owwww. My head hurts.
Yup. After feigning innocence/ignorance when confronted by Mr. Moore, it turns out the little turd was aware all along that copying his assignment from Wikipedia was the wrong thing to do. Why else would Owen have been prepared to offer an excuse? And Les’ reputation for being lax on plagiarists seems to have gotten around: his is the only class where one could expect extra credit for doing no work…
And yes, “shanked” is already in the Batiuktionary…it was added after Maddie used it in the course of her plagiarism arc.
