Montoni's – Page 74 – Son of Stuck Funky

Mi Casa, Su Casa

Major thanks once again to Stuckfunky for a stellar week of guest blogging!

Today we find Delicate Genius Les in a particularly magnanimous mood. He sure is het up about getting Darin and Jessica to stay in his home, and uses the occasion to crow about that book of his that we thought never got published. (I’ve taken the liberty of ratcheting up Les’ already-insufferable smugness a few more notches [right]).
And what a sport: he’s going to get MBA Darin an interview at Montoni’s Pizza. Darin takes all of a nanosecond to take Les up on his offer, much to the delight of tiny-fisted Summer.

Pete Arose

Link to today’s strip.

…You mean it was all just a dream? Pete is jolted back to (within a quarter-inch from) reality, and looks positively inspired. Wait until the editors at DC get Pete’s latest story treatment: Superman versus Deadline Doom and Writer’s Block! Soon Pete’ll be wearing a red apron and bussing tables downstairs with Wally.

Search Me

Is that Summer, wearing her Dad’s green shirt? Nah, it’s Our Pete, slaving away over his “Pineapple” laptop (I thought Pete’d be more of a Pear guy). He spent all afternoon “Googling” himself, eh? So that’s what the young people are calling it these days. I wonder what kind of faces TB makes when he Googles himself?

Pete’s disembodied head in panel one resembles Porch Boy from Deliverance in a Summer Moore wig…

Puppies Without Punchlines

Epic run-on sentence in panel one. Apparently it’s impossible to describe Puppies Behind Bars without using a run-on sentence. How anyone would conflate PBB with Doctors Without Borders, though, is beyond me.

Wallyrado

The “service dog thingy” is working wonders already: Wally, who for the last year and a half was afraid to leave his apartment, travels all the way to Colorado to meet his new “Buddy”.

Here is a little bit of background about Puppies Behind Bars.
