“It just so happens, Linda, that I have some copies of my Lisa’s Story trilogy out in the car! Since you’re a grieving widow, I can give you a discount of twen…uh, twelve percent, and I’ll be more than pleased to autograph them!”
You know, hot coffee tends to heat up a coffee mug. That’s why they have handles, so you don’t have to grab a hot coffee mug and burn your hand. So what is Linda doing in panel three? Is she trying to burn Les’ hand? If so, she’s my new favorite character.
It’s also cool if she’s saying, “I’m going to drink both of these coffees. I hope you got something from the drive-through.” Even cooler would be if she’s going to throw both cups in Les’ face. I’m going to stop now because reality will be too disappointing.
ADDENDUM: I just now noticed…Batiuk has finally corrected the spelling on his webzone! It no longer says “Bantom.”

It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is
While most of the now-reassembled idiocy of Winkerbeans mopes at a Pete-level in today’s strip, Holly is taking charge! How, exactly, she expects a photo of Act II Funky with the mayor of Centerville to help Adeela remains to be seen…
Before we get into the explanation for this bit of Batiukverse history, let’s take a minute to appreciate the magnificent uselessness of Amicus Breef, who today is repeating the exact same legal vernacular he spit out two days ago… like a 14 year old who just learned the phrase “subpoena evidence” and keeps saying it because he thinks it makes him sound smart. It has been some time since TB introduced such a remarkably incompetent character, which is saying something.
OK, now for the tale of the time Funky and his mullet met President Bill Clinton. It was the summer of 1993 and the Westview school district was facing its latest challenge in getting voters to approve yet another school levy (or “tax issue” as Fred and Nate referred to this one). Dinkle decided the best way to drum up support was to get the recently elected President Clinton to appear at a rally headlined by his WHS band. Being a well-known former band geek, the President actually showed up, endured the band’s performance, and finished things off by playing a saxophone duet with Dinkle. On his way out of town, President Clinton demanded pizza and Dinkle recommended Montoni’s. Thus:
Dinkle also gave the President a gift for showing up at the rally… *sigh* It was a box of comic books, of course.
