“Ghost? Haunt? Get it?” Anybody else making that statement would be credited with possessing some wit. But since the speaker is brain-dead Bull Bushka, Les immediately assumes that it must be an inadvertent Yogi-ism.
By my reckoning, today’s Cory Winkerbean sighting is the first since May of 2010. The strip’s most underexposed and therefore most interesting character comes off the bench to play hatchet-faced straight man to Maddie the Hat, who appears to be wearing Mr. Moore’s yellow shirt.
The Pay-to-Play arc concludes (hopefully) today as Les and two of his harem witness yet another cost-cutting measure. I’d wager that even with the lights off, the visitors hand the Scapegoats a whuppin’.
I’m starting to think that TB is responding to readers who miss the “gag-a-day” format of Act I; except now, the situation derives from a “topical” issue, and of course the gags are absurd or unfunny or both. In today’s strip we get the setup/punchline formula, a la Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon…”Money is so tight for the football team…” “HOW? TIGHT? IS IT?”
