It’s revenge, that’s what it is. After Summer’s blew out her knee, did Les seek out the top physical therapists to guide his daughter’s recovery? Nope. Bull showed up to volunteer, and Les stepped aside and let him have at ‘er. Summer and her knee have never forgotten this. So she’s enlisted Bull to give her Dad some personal “training”.

Climb Time
Didn’t see this coming, did you? You did if you read this blog. Batiuk told us this was coming last September.
Les long ago ceded control of his life to the women in it (living and dead). Cayla has conveniently already excused herself from the Kili trek by invoking the “black people don’t camp” rule. So the stage is set for Les and Summer’s Excellent Adventure…
Unaccoun-table
See, Les doesn’t want to go on his “mystery trip”, with or without his bride-to-be. So TB stations him in panel 2 between a shelf and a table, to set up the “punchline”. Don’t forget option 3, Les: you can always “shitcan” it. Ingrate.

Now the part where Les somehow avoids taking Cayla on what would be an amazing honeymoon. Because why would she be interested in Africa?Golobulus

You know, Les, if you weren’t such an insufferable putz you could’ve used this opportunity to make Cayla really happy ON YOUR HONEYMOON.
Nope, TB’s got other plans for the Kilimanjaro trek, and they don’t include the future Mrs. Les Moore, who graciously withdraws herself from consideration, thus paving the way for next year’s epic daddy/daughter mountaineering arc.

…You damn well know this guy is going to whine and bitch his way up and down that f*cking mountain while the always-annoying Summer will be quipping and overacting along with him the entire way. Then he’ll come home and brag about it in that irritating, self-depreciating Batomic way of his.
You heard it here first…
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.
