Sew Me

Is something going to happen here? Why can’t Les just spout this stuff to Crazy Harry back in Westview? The reactions would be about the same. How is this advancing today’s plot at all? Today’s strip is just cumbersome. Mason is trying to be polite but Les is taking his single-word answers as interest.

Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this story is fascinating. Let’s try an experiment tomorrow, Snarkers. Recite, word for word, the Pavarotti story to a co-worker, friend, family member or mailman. See if they seem even slightly interested.

I’ll do the same and let you know how it goes.

Fascinating Friday

SoSFDavidO here for the next two weeks, takin’ the reins! Here’s today’s strip, where Mason is introduced to the idea of making a movie based on someone in real life. Strange concept, I know, and so much so that it sounds like one of those experimental films like Andy Warhol’s movie that showed someone sleeping for 9 hours.

Still, it’s just so crazy it could work!

I do wonder what part of Lisa’s Story could be considered fascinating. Did the talking cat make it into the script somehow?

Autoboregraphy

SoSFDavidO here for the next two weeks, takin’ the reins! Here’s today’s strip, in which Mason, having realized the sorry lump of half-man sitting across from him actually lost his wife after an extended illness, looks amused as hell.

What in the world is he smiling about? It can’t be his own cold-cribbed comment, whatever that means. Was there some part between “Lisa’s Story” and “The Other Shoe” where Les and Lisa adopted a unicycle-riding bear and ran a wacky New Zealand B&B? Because that’s how amused Mason looks.

Ego Driven

SoSFDavidO here for the next two weeks, takin’ the reins! In today’s strip, Mason, the actor who’s got the unenviable task of playing Les Moore in the upcoming cancer drama Lust for Lisa makes the mistake of asking our humble writer to talk about his favorite topic: himself.

I only hope Les is honest.

Well, you see, Mason, I’m a self-centered, arrogant prick who uses other people as footstools to get what I want, belittling everyone from student I’m supposed to be educating to my own family members. And speaking of that, I have a daughter and daughter-in-law who I haven’t thought of in over two years because their personal achievements were starting to overshadow my own.

Mason is going to want a new agent by the time this is all over.
