That Shakespeare Halloween costume must have gone to Les’ head. Did he really expect Bull to pick up on a quotation from Henry IV Part II?

Pie 'n' Cry
Les continues to distinguish himself as Westview’s, nay, Ohio’s…hell, the world’s most clueless jackass. He decides to “cheer up” Summer and Keisha by bringing them to Montoni’s. The girls stare at their pizza in disgust while Cayla absently fingers a blemish on her chin. I’m sure that the next stop is Les’ favorite park bench.
What Moore Can I Say?
I like how Les doesn’t just look through the window as Summer shoots baskets in the driveway; he has to surreptitiously peer from behind a curtain. Finally he makes his presence known and attempts to engage his “kiddo” in some father-daughter chat, offering a baseball analogy to his hoops-dreamin’ daughter. Way to rebound, Les. Try not to show your fear of the ball!
Things are Tough All Over
The Westview teachers are “just folks” after all, fretting about how they will fund their childrens’ college education. When you consider that teachers’ salaries are a major factor in the high cost of higher education, the irony of this week’s “salary freeze” arc is pretty astounding indeed.
Another Brick in the Wall Street
It’s hard to tell if TB has bent his “one year ahead” production schedule to catch the anti-Wall Street wave with today’s strip. It’s even harder to sympathize with Jim and his colleagues having to do without their customary guaranteed pay raises. Boo effin’ hoo.
On this Veterans’ Day 2011, I’d like to offer my sincerest gratitude to the men and women who have served this nation in uniform. Thank you!
