I Like "No Buts" and I Cannot Lie

I do want to ask, though…what’s with the dropping leaves? They seem pretty pervasive lately.

For what it’s worth, every strip in October has depicted falling or fallen leaves (except for when Les was inside watching a Lisa Tape). At this rate, there won’t be much of a “beautiful golden canopy” left for our bride and groom. Today the whole town of Westview is brought to a standstill; neither pizzas nor mail shall be delivered. Out on Les’ front lawn, the guests regard one another anxiously, while One of Cayla’s Relatives (do we know who? Does it matter? No.) makes a last-minute adjustment to her gown.

Con-plainers

You’d think that Cody and Owen would be happy to hang out in the alley with their fellow like-minded comics geeks. Instead, it’s bitch, bitch, bitch. Although would it kill Pete to pop into Montoni’s and fetch a pie to feed these guys who are giving up valuable skateboarding time to help liquidate his comics collection?

“Gee…this Alley Con really is like a real Comic Con!” Sure is! Look at the douchebags walking around dressed as characters from Funky Winkerbean!

Doucheland Über Alley

Rather than shell out for what is probably a pretty good cache of collectible comics (and he couldn’t sell them on consignment?), Dead Skunk Head John shrewdly arranges for Pete’s collection to be sold on the streets mere steps from his store.

More “upside-down” skateboard decks” (hat tip billytheskink) can be seen today.

Pete-tropolis

Upstairs at the Komix Korner, Mopey Pete shares a little inside info with Comic Book Guy. Googling “Metropolis Comics” turns up a number of shops by that name, but as far as I can tell, it’s not a real publisher. Did Batiuk get a “C & D” from DC?

TMFI

Good Lord. Was there not some other subtle, clever, dare I say humorous way to make this point? Dead Skunk Head John is not just a miserable mope like the rest of the Westview men…he’s also…creepy. A pasty, pudgy putz in his early forties who spends most of his time hanging out with teenage boys. He is the last guy you’d want to hear discussing his sex life.
