I’m at a Loss to Come Up with a Title Here. Sorry.

This is the bottom of the stupid barrel. Earlier in the week Owen was oblivious—he maintained he had done nothing wrong. Now, it seems he knows what “gave it away”. Query how he could think that he had tipped his hand when he didn’t know he was doing anything wrong in the first place. Owwww. My head hurts.

Yup. After feigning innocence/ignorance when confronted by Mr. Moore, it turns out the little turd was aware all along that copying his assignment from Wikipedia was the wrong thing to do. Why else would Owen have been prepared to offer an excuse? And Les’ reputation for being lax on plagiarists seems to have gotten around: his is the only class where one could expect extra credit for doing no work…

And yes, “shanked” is already in the Batiuktionary…it was added after Maddie used it in the course of her plagiarism arc.

Something Wiki This Way Comes

Les’ verbal caning of Owen continues, as does Owen’s dim perception of right and wrong. To quote the late John Wayne, “…it’s gettin’ to be re-God-damn-diculous…”   It’s bad enough that TB revisits the topic of internet plagiarism again and again. But he compounds the monotony with four consecutive days of sputtering Les setting up Owen for an unfunny “punchline”.

Just Not My Type

Yes, Les Moore is the avatar we love to hate, but at least give him credit today for not losing his patience and smacking the living shit out of Owen…minus a few points for referring to Owen’s choice of  “typeface” instead of “font”.

It’s that time of the month! Check out this month’s FunkyWatch: January’s Most Depressing ‘Funky Winkerbean’ and ‘Crankshaft’ Strips over at Comics Alliance!

It's Called Recycling

Today’s lesson from the Cartoonist’s Studio: how to turn one unfunny gag into two!

Panel 1:
Les admonishes Owen and tells him what he has done wrong.

Panel 2:
Owen fails to comprehend the situation.

Panel 3:
Owen offers a lame and unfunny explanation while Les makes a face.

Seriously, Mr. Batiuk? Seriously? Groundhog Day isn’t ’til tomorrow, dude.

…Let’s re-do an old storyline for the next week before we continue with girls BB.

Clearly Pookster peeked ahead (tsk, tsk!) to find that, yes, TB is rehashing revisiting a pet topic of his: students plagiarizing from online sources. This time the offender is Owen. Poor, dumb Owen. In his mind, since he copied from Teh Internets instead of an actual, physical book, well what’s the problem?
