The Born Loser

I’m finding I just can’t hate Les enough. “I won a trip to Kilimanjaro? Why does everything always happen to me?” He even echoes Funky’s “hoping for Disney World” riff from last week.

I was sure that the “Blue Valley Country Club” would turn out to be a Real Place in Ohio. I was close: a Google search for “golf medina ohio” turns up the Blue Heron Golf Club in TB’s hometown. Intriguingly, there is a real-world “Blue Valley Golf and Country Estate“…but it’s in South Africa, a good few thousand miles away from Tanzania.

Coolimanjaro

Les is less than thrilled to learn that his “mystery” destination is Kilimanjaro, but he is cut off in mid-whine by wild-eyed Summer clawing at his shoulder.

In the interview I referred to a few posts ago, TB gave away some previews of FW’s 40th anniversary year. In addition to Les and Summer’s Kilimanjaro trek, he also cites “a storyline in May when a same-sex couple wants to attend the prom together”. Given Summer’s masculine attire, I wonder if she might be one half of that couple?

A tip o’ the SoSF leopardskin pillbox hat to the estimable DavidOrth
for once again taking over the blogging reins this past week!

Quality time spent with Dad sure isn’t what it used to be. These days poor Dad’s presence is barely acknowledged by his self-absorbed, distractable child. What’s changed? Why, it’s because of those newfangled “cell phones”! This strip’s anti-technology drumbeat is starting to give me a migraine. Are there any 21st century contrivances that aren’t making life in Westview worse instead of better?
