Les – Page 213 – Son of Stuck Funky

Help, I'm a Rock

I seem to recall that part of the rationale for the “second time jump” in October of 2007 was to allow Batiuk to focus on Westview’s younger generation. That focus seems to consist of pointing out what a bunch of clueless, mindless, shiftless underachievers they are.

The class of 2011 can’t be bothered to cover up the previous senior class’ tag on Senior Rock with more battleship-gray paint. Not when they can just put their imprint on the smaller, adjacent rock. Nate’s correct about the current senior class “running pretty much true to form”; recall the class of 2010’s similarly half-assed stab at graffiti immortality.

Home School

Link to today’s comic.

Susan finds yet another excuse to “just come by”. I do love Keisha’s expression of unmitigated disgust. She’s the only one in the room who sees this woman as the obsessed, needy, borderline psychotic she is. Mom Cayla just offers a resigned shrug, while Bull gazes longingly at Susan’s rack.

A Great Week in Westview

Here’s a link to today’s comic.

Bull’s a real taskmaster, huh? Summer just looks totally wiped after what must have been a good fifteen or twenty minutes on Les’ Barcalounger, swinging her calf while Bull counted to 2 on his fingers. She’ll be “ripped” in no time. More like her chances of a full recovery and of a basketball scholarship are being “ripped” away from her. Les, if you won’t seek professional help for your issues, at least get a pro to work on your daughter’s.

None of it matters, though, because as these panels from this week attest, everything is Just. Effin’. Great:

Beat It

Your link to today’s comic is here.
In a flashback, Bully Bull Bushka is about to make Helmet Head Les spit bloody Chiclets. There’s a life lesson in today’s strip, kids: years removed from high school, the strapping jock has become a feeble, wishy-washy, paunchy middle-aged man, while the meek nerd…has also become a feeble, wishy-washy, paunchy middle-aged man.

Rehab-Bull-itation

Here’s a link to today’s strip.

I guess Susan is solely interested in stalking Les; she’s split the scene, leaving Cayla to fetch soft drinks for injured Summer.

Only in a world where you have such a thing as a literary agent slash publicist could you have a coach slash athletic director slash physical therapist. Where did Bull get a blue Westview jacket? I thought the school color was red.
