Playin', Playin' in the Band

Usually the music notes in the air of the Band Room are drawn all distorted and jagged, to suggest bad music being played. But the well-formed notes we see today come from the smooth sounds of Westview’s Community Band, conducted not by a frazzled, angry Becky, but by a relaxed and genial Harry K. Dinkle. Harry likes conducting the adults so much better than working with those goddam kids. He even allows that this ensemble sounds “pretty good”, high praise from Der Dinkle. He rewards the band with one of his “classic lines“, punctuating it with a thrust of his stubbly chin and a face-splitting, closed-eye satisfied smirk. Buddy the dog responds with an agonized howl.

Anyway, nice to see that Wally is finally putting that trombone to good use.

Kiss Catastrophe

Today we see what Cayla was hiding under that pirate shmatte: a(-nother) new hairdo! So preoccupied is Les with his own situation that Cayla has to prompt him for a compliment, and she receives only a halfhearted one at that.

Meanwhile, in the Computer Lab, the number of “people on the internet” who have witnessed The Kiss grows to at least a million six. Even Cody and Owen share in the hilarity!

A Case of the Tuesdays

Moving day continues… He may have issues with meeting deadlines, but Mopey Pete is nothing if not loyal. He has moved beyond relinquishing his “Darin’s Best Friend” status to Jessica five (ten? fifteen?) years ago, and is now content to gaze adoringly at his blond ex-bestie as he schleps boxes up to the guest suite at Moore Manor. Pete must not be sleeping well…in panel 2, he’s sporting bags under his eyes to rival those of the elderly Moe Howard.
