I Don't Dink So

Professional retiree Harry Dinkle brings to three the number of senior citizens hanging around Westview high school for no apparent reason. I’ve got a feeling he wouldn’t be too crazy about the idea of a same-sex couple (a male couple, anyway) going to prom. He’s just better at hiding his prejudice than righteous Roberta. Becky tries to foist off on Dinkle the job of talking her mother “down off her high horse”, based on the fact that he had to deal with Roberta when she was a band mom, some three decades ago.

Quarant'anni di Montoni's

Finally, a special occasion that actually deserves to be celebrated at Montoni’s. The joint hasn’t been this packed since Darin discovered breakfast pizza. Everybody’s here…of course, Becky and Wally have to slave away back in the kitchen, and Khan’s been a persona non grata since opening up his own eatery nearly a year ago. Holly and Donna are in the same shot, proving they are not the same person; ditto Summer and Pete (wasn’t he leaving town?). Dead Skunk Head John and Bull are either gazing lovingly at one another or have just finished sharing a joint.

Banq-wit

That dimple (visible even at a distance in panel 2) signifies that Becky’s saying something witty (or thinks she is). And Harriet can’t help but remind her husband what a humorless prick he was when he had Becky’s job.

Celeb attendees at the band banquet include (L-R) Jabba the Hutt, John Cleese, Schroeder from Peanuts and Milhouse Van Houten.
