School’s in, and Les is still a teacher at Westview High, and bumbling Bull has managed to hang on as the Scapegoats’ athletic director. Les brings up the unpopular phenomenon of Pay-to-Participate fees that are being instituted in cash-strapped schools. Bull’s wife Linda brings up the fact that Westview’s football team sucks.

It's Called Running
Today’s strip feels like two daily strips, one stacked upon the other, and neither one being funny. It also feels like a rehash of the July 10 strip, only this time Les wears the Lisa’s Legacy t-shirt, and Funky has gotten even fatter; his panel 4 silhouette resembles the Michelin Man.

Eye on the Ball
The count is oh-and-one; Muppet-mouthed Les is looking for a hit…here’s the pitch…Les swings and POW! right in the kisser! “Calamity Cayla” has struck again! If this was an animated cartoon, I’d loop that second panel and watch it again and again and…
"Good Sport" ≠ "Good at Sports"
Well, what do you know: Les has grown a pair and stepped up to the plate. Trying not to embarrass her man, Cayla serves up a meatball, right down the middle, which Les, to no one’s surprise, swings at an misses by a mile. Summer in panel 2 must want to hang that massive head of hers in shame.
