Pep(peroni) Talk

Random, bulleted thoughts:

  • I’ll bet Funky has stashed away somewhere a “World’s Best Boss” mug that he bought for himself at Spencer Gifts (like Michael Scott from The Office).
  • I know Merry Pookster is delighted to see Khan alive and well, and no doubt plotting to go jihad, starting with his boss.
  • Speaking of faces we haven’t seen in ages: guess I can scratch Chef Marcello Mastriani off the missing in action list! He looks like the Swedish Chef after a shave.
  • If money’s tight, Funky might consider selling off that gold-plated Wurlitzer jukebox!
  • “We’re like a family here…or at least, a family that you like.” Because such a thing as familial love is an alien concept in Westview. Ask Cory.
  • The “punchline” just sucks so bad I’ll leave it alone.

Porch Swingers

Guess they’re already back from dinner. How far is Les gonna let this go? Given their history, is he not the least bit uncomfortable with her clinginess and her excitement over his finally getting published? And what is with Summer’s complete deadpan non-reaction at seeing these two on the porch? Is she relieved, too, that Cayla’s out of the picture? Or is she just wasted? And when will Lisa’s ghost weigh in with her approval/disapproval?

Mamma Montoni

I’ll tell you who should never be allowed to use Photoshop: whoever it is that digitally colors these Sunday strips and makes them look like mud. Aside from that, this is the laziest Sunday throwaway in many a moon. Who’s talking here? The hands? Why not just have the card itself lettered “Happy Mother’s Day” and then one word balloon containing the punchline? And “Happy Mother’s Day to all the wives“? Are all the Montoni’s wives moms? I’m too exhausted to think about it anymore.

Life of Slice

The years have been even less kind to Funky than we knew: not only is he now paunchy and gray-haired, but he’s become too deaf to overhear Les’ stage-whispered threat to Cory. And not for nothing: Water-bottle-gate happened almost a year ago. Is Cory gonna let Les hold that over his head for the rest of his life? If Les only knew what happened to that cigar box full of cancer funds

Anyway: wherever did they find a pizza costume with a built-in codpiece?
