Clearly there would be such a big audience of people watching a show about people vaguely connected to a woman who died from cancer.
Lenny certainly seems to think so. Meanwhile Darin need to dial it back just a bit, as he’s crossed over to making terroristic threats.
Ok, “I’ve got three different words” sounds a little more natural, but I won’t nitpick: today’s punchline makes this the funniest FW strip all year! I stand in line.
“…this girl that he had been with“? Do these Hollywood clowns realize that that’s no way to talk about Our Lady of Westview? Darin is trying hard, very hard, to keep his cool, but that cocked eyebrow in panel 1 tells me that he’s seconds away from losin’ his shit. And I’ve been trying not to imply that their “partnership” is more than “strictly business,” but Lenny is practically feeling up “his man” in panel 2. Maybe Lenny is Frankie’s “Leon”, and whatever loot that they manage to pry from Darin and Les is going towards gender reassignment surgery, like in Dog Day Afternoon…
The plot, such as it is, continues to thicken today. Frankie the Rapist Stalker’s got a partner in whatever he’s trying to pull here: the equally-shiftily-named “Lenny”. It also seems that his target is not Les (drat!) but Darin, whom he’s trailed to Montoni’s. TB actually rewards us with a pretty good punchline.

I’m getting the subtle impression that Frankie might not be a nice person…
Like the rest of you, dear readers, I cannot even begin to fathom what sinister plot Frankie has in mind. Something to do with besmirching St. Lisa’s immaculate image, I guess. Interesting how TB’s managed to intersect two plot threads, each having something to do with A Book By Les Moore.
