Forget about the wacky plot development in today’s strip, which one commenter gave away a couple days ago and which most of you have seen coming…will ya check out the look that Les is giving his wife in panel 2? Daggers. Do you suppose that Lisa, even at her smirkiest, was even once on the receiving end of such a look from Les? Cayla clearly does not know her place. Which, come to think of it, is probably over at the Big Walnut Tech reunion.

SoSfDavidO Here, and don’t even try and figure out today’s title, as it’s not punny at all, unlike In today’s strip. It’s the title to a Twilight Zone episode that freaked me out as a kid and I think is fairly appropriate of a comparison to Montoni’s. In it, a young William Shatner is held hostage by the idea he can never leave a little diner because of a tiny mechanical fortune teller that seems to have hold over him.
And here is Darin, almost seemingly stuck in a small diner he can’t escape from either! The mechanical band just seals the deal as far as reminding me of the Twilight Zone episode.
Can anyone ever truly leave Westview?

billytheskink here, back for my third non-consecutive fortnight of guest weblogging. Today’s strip was not available for preview, so we’ll have to all be unpleasantly surprised together. If we’re lucky, maybe we’ll get a month-long break from the usual schmucks and watch Mr. Clean repair the band box, gear by gear and piece by piece.
Anchor Aweigh!
Well, now we know what Tom Ban’s vision of an internet entrepreneur looks like…a young moronically grinning dimwit with a weird ass-hand, to be exact. I like how Buddyblog tried to steal Facebook’s font, too. But the best part of all is that totally unnecessary first panel where Funky helpfully recaps the events of last week for those of us who were unable to keep up with the numerous twists and turns in this little story. I also like how his current wife grins like an imbecile as her husband obsesses over his ex-wife’s whereabouts from minute-to-minute (even checking his watch for emphasis). Very quarter-inch from reality right there. Or perhaps she’s just amused by Cindy’s desperate plight, which is definitely way more believable. Given how these idiots are always smirking all the time, you just can’t tell.
Looks like another week’s worth of awful gags about how useless and stupid The Internet is…sigh. Expect a lot of jabbering about “business models” (especially hilarious coming from a guy whose website doesn’t feature so much as a key chain for sale), “internuts” and jokes about how everything on The Internet is just a bunch of worthless crap. Also known as “March 2015- Bantom’s Revenge”.
I do know that this Michael Spencer guy is as punchable as any random character in recent FW memory, that’s for certain. I’m amazed he can use a computer at all with that tiny thumb and that ass-hand of his. It’s one of those weird FW characters who must be based on someone, as he’s just too specific looking to be randomly generated. I have a sneaking feeling that I’ll totally despise him by week’s end, if not much sooner. In fact, I think I do already.
Sweaty Work
Ew, Cindy, get a towel! No one reading today’s strip saw you walk in from the rain so it looks like you’re sweating like a racehorse while heaving your chest and panting at Funky. It’s not a good look for you. It’s not a good look for anyone. And with Funky’s stupid answer that would have me back out the door and into the snowy–err, rainy generic Westview day.
