Weird how Jim has to point out that “Roberta Blackburn” = “Becky’s mother”, since his fellow teachers surely know this; especially Roberta’s daughter Becky, who is standing about six feet away. Of course, this is for the benefit of those who haven’t been following this strip since Roberta’s last major appearance in Act II.

Yes We Can(vass)
Here we see the entire known Westview High School faculty, including their newest member, Art Teacher. They’re assembled outside Moore Manor to encourage their fellow Westviewvians to show support for school funding (another favorite cause of TB’s). If “Art” could read his own dialogue balloon, he’d realize that the kind of “canvass” they’re involved is the “two-s” kind. Ha! Ha! Jim, who considers himself a real teacher, can barely hide his disdain for this bald Bohemian, while Bull sees a threat to his role as mangler of words and their meanings.
It's Called Cheating
Les vents to his “work wife” Linda about how another student tried to pass off a purchased paper as his own work. I wonder if that student’s offense was dealt with as lightly as was Maddie’s? “Everyone deserves a second chance, Cory…so here’s what I’m going to do. Your dad owns a pizza parlor…so why don’t you make a pizza in the shape of a whale?”

sourbelly: “…it looks like…Cory’s face has been run over by a steamroller.” Looks like that steamroller has struck again!
“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.
