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).

The local Mom & Pop pizza place has offered breakfast items (including four versions of a breakfast pie, scrambled eggs and all) for over a decade. Darin’s decision to open Montoni’s (and offer similar menu items?) is hardly the worst idea ever…though I’m sure the way he pitched it completely sucked.

Wait…this arc started out on Monday with Funky telling Darin that his latest proposal was “the worst idea in the history of ideas” (worse even than “salad shooters“). Then whycome today do we have Funky looking completely surprised at Darin’s breakfast pizza concept? Did it take three days to sink in? At any rate,  John is correct: Darin’s pitch isn’t winning me over either,  and as he pointed out on Tuesday, it’s been done
