“We’re here to help with the preparations for the Lisa’s Legacy Run™,” Cayla helpfully exposits. Well, it’s a safe bet she won’t be assigned to sandwich-making duty. Already Les is in such a tizzy that he can’t even put down that box (which is probably not as heavy as he makes it look) to greet his fiancé and her daughter.

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 Passion of the Les
John
August 2, 2011 at 5:12 pm…I doubt even the most ardent fan would be with Les on his oh-so-deep angst over this. You keep pretending that this is something awful. But. It. Is. NOT.
…Stop trying to pretend this is misfortune, instead of you once again rewarding your favorite character.
…He wants to be paid, and paid well, but he also wants to pretend that being paid is a trial? Fine. Just stop showing it in-strip, ’cause we’re not buying it.
Not that I need to add to John’s comment excerpted above, but man alive, Les keeps outdoing himself in the insufferable martyr department. By panel 3 his arms are even extended in a crucifixion pose.
Hot Ellipses
Weird, lazy punctuation in the first two panels of today’s strip…“Susan is resigning, dot, dot, dot…” “She shouldn’t have to, dot, dot, dot…” And come on, Cayla: like you’re not happy to see Susan go? Meanwhile, the Unabomber returns in the last panel. Meh, just…meh.
Summer Break
Your humble scribe was out of town for a family gathering this weekend, and had neither the time nor the inclination to get in a lather over today’s comic. So I’m just gonna put it out there and let y’all have at it.
