Movin' On Up

There’ll be no confusing Summer with mopey Pete today, since they’re both in the same “shot”. Darin wastes no time moving his worldly goods into Moore Manor. Les shares the “cool” news with Cayla, who apparently is still laboring under the assumption that Les is telepathic. Listen, girl: as long as you continue to keep your thoughts to yourself instead of telling Les what time it is, you totally deserve every thoughtless, demeaning insult he bestows on you…

Pete-rified

Today’s strip:

Vespertine is a term used in the life sciences to indicate something of, relating to, or occurring in the evening. Wanted to clear that up first.

TB appears to be giving his komix-fanboy proclivities free rein with this week’s arc (he’s also recycling this Sunday panel from August ’08). This format kinda suits him (if in fact it is TB drawing these strips), because he can get away with giving his characters pepper-shaped noses, pencil wrists, and, yes, the hatchet face, and nobody will blink an eye.

How evil is the Lord of the Late? Just check out his thumb and index finger in panel 1: he’s crushing Pete’s head!
