Roadwork Ahead

Okay…just shoot me now. Funky arrives at Moore Manor for what I expect is the beginning of this year’s Lisa’s Legacy Run story arc. On the plus side, today’s panels at least are cheerfully colored; a nice change after yesterday’s dismal scene. On the minus side: I may be forced to add tags for “Les’ blue Kent State T-shirt” and for every time a character uses the phrase “I rest my case“.

Oh Shoot

With our girls finally off to college* (more than a month after classes began), Les turns his attention to the Lisa’s Legacy® Run (which had already taken place this time last year) and, uh…oh yeah, the wedding. Cayla, who just a week ago was almost giddy describing the wedding plans, expresses her wish to die. Even Les is taken aback. I’m sure this is meant to be taken as a joke, except Cayla’s not smiling: in fact, she looks utterly defeated.

Your humble narrator’s feeling a bit defeated too, because once again, the upcoming strips are not available online for preview…even Senor Tortilla’s URL workaround isn’t working. So it’s back to “placeholder” posts again, that will go live at midnight eastern, with a link to the strip and my snark to be added later.

I a-Door You

Even with the luxury of having time to ponder today’s comic…I really don’t know what to say. My own kids are a couple few years shy of college age, but as teens, they (a boy and a girl) have no qualms about public displays of affection with their old dad. Say what you will about Les (and you do), he’s done all right by his kid, which is more than you can say for absentee dad Funky. So why must she ensure that no one see her hugging her father goodbye? So weird.
