Ooh, I got a leaked scene Les is working on! Let’s take a look!Int: Les and Lisa’s apartment above the pizza place
(Lisa is checking her self in the mirror after the football tackle thing after she landed on her chest. Her handsome husband is in the other room, saying funny, witty things about stuff)…
Guess that leftover pizza did the trick! Les finally begins crafting a screenplay which so far happens to read very much like davidorth’s “leaked scene”.
“If you’re still watching this on videotape…”? It is a videotape! What’s he supposed to watch it on?
There are seventeen comments already below as I write this, so I’m way late to the party, but the general tone of the comments so far is “What. The. Fuck,” and rightly so. The worst part, of course, is that Batiuk intends for these neverending Lisa Tapes to be heartwarming. What we’d really love to see is Cayla lurking just outside the room where Les pays rapt attention to his first and only true love, finally, finally realizing that she needs to move on.
Since today’s first panel is a carryover from yesterday’s last panel, I thought it fitting to carry over a sampling of the your comments from yesterday on the latest posthumous Lisa sighting.

Okay, the only way, and I mean only way this works at all is if this is Les’ final farewell to Lisa. “Thanks for coming with me one last time. Our adventure is over, and my next adventure begins now.” Don’t get me wrong, it’s still maudlin to the point of nausea, but it sort of works that way.

Why couldn’t he pull the photo out in front of Summer and share his little moment with her? Why does his unending devotion have to be so freaking creepy and weird all the time?

Summer: He’s placing a picture of Lisa, my late mother, at the summit. You probably heard of her 15 years ago when she died of breast cancer.
James: Yes, I remember that. It was on that day that absolutely no one in Tanzania died, so the newspapers had to run Ohio obituaries. Anyways, littering fines double to 400 shillingi in national parks.

…Yes, a loose photograph, on top of the tallest mountain on the continent. That’s gonna stay there forever… I smile imagining it blowing off the mountain all the way down to Mogadishu.

Back in the day I did my fair share of non-technical high peak climbs so I’m familiar with those boxes. And do you know what every one of those boxes had? A LID!Merry Pookster

Cheap ass doesn’t even spring for a plastic sheet protector
A real brief Google check suggests that yes, there is some cellphone service available even near the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, so I’m not gonna fuss over that detail. Anyway, it’s all downhill from here…
Well, they’ve made it to the top. Looks like Funky can tear up the receipt for those stupid socks he bought Les. You just knew that St. Lisa would be making an appearance at some point in this adventure. It would have been much cooler had she been one of Les’ altitude-sickness induced hallucinations, but instead we settle for her headshot, care-“les”-ly tossed into a box ‘neath the old summit sign (which has been replaced with a new one since TB’s alleged visit).

…I feel sure a tape from Our Lisa the Howling Succubus is just around the corner for Butch. Graduation? Lis won’t be able to skip graduation.
Sure enough, Ghost Mom recorded a tape for this occasion. Summer dons cap ‘n’ gown (which have magically turned from white to red) and leans in close to listen to her own personal commencement speech as Les lurks nearby to bask in St. Lisa’s heavenly cathode radiance.
