It's Called Cheating

Les vents to his “work wife” Linda about how another student tried to pass off a purchased paper as his own work. I wonder if that student’s offense was dealt with as lightly as was Maddie’s? “Everyone deserves a second chance, Cory…so here’s what I’m going to do. Your dad owns a pizza parlor…so why don’t you make a pizza in the shape of a whale?”

Tony's Place

Well, we almost got through a whole week without seeing Les’ smug puss: the erstwhile “weekend manager” pops in to hear about how his “step-son” is revolutionizing the pizza business. For a brief moment, Tony musters the courage to stand up for himself, and for his (admittedly idiotic)  “ideas”, but TB is only setting him up to be further marginalized: notice how in every panel, Funky and Les loom above him. In the penultimate panel, Tony looks and acts like a mustachioed toddler as Funky looks down his nose at him, until finally Tony throws up his hands once again. Better warm up that Space Invaders machine; Tony’s goin’ back downstairs to sulk.

“La donna mobile”?
You may not recognize the lyric (I sure as hell didn’t) but you know the tune… 

The Breakfast Club

Holy pepperoni, Funkman, I’ll say it’s a roaring success: practically all of Westview (except, sadly, for Cory) has turned out to sample Montoni’s New Breakfast Pizza. Did Cody and Owen grow a couple feet taller over the summer, or do they just seem tall standing behind tiny Kevin? Even some celebrities have turned out, including Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (behind Funky and Darin) and former child star Mason Reese (behind Maddie).
