Halftime No-Show

OK, so I understand that “real world” schools have been cutting sports programs for lack of funds — but wouldn’t Westview at least wait until the next school year to make the cut? Instead, everything is “cancelled as of this week“, giving Big Walnut Tech an even easier than usual win over the ‘Goats. Of course Becky, just like her mentor Harry Dinkle, cares only about how this affects the band.

I have a feeling that this week we’ll get the term “school levy” shoved down our collective throats. Let’s see…the “coming school levy”…”the looming school levy”…that seems about right.

Don’t forget the upcoming school levy”, Sarge!

Batiuk should save himself some time and aggravation by creating a new character. Call him “Befuddled and/or Put-Upon Westview Resident”, and have him serve as the foil for all doorbell gags involving “canvassing”, band candy and band turkey sales. Today’s generic neighbor is merely a moustache and chin away from Maddie’s customer from last month.
