Bull and his posse are shocked, shocked, that Les has not shown up for his three o’clock beating. But Number 82, who looks like high-school Funky with a G.I. Wally haircut, spots a clue to Leaky Les’ location.

Bull-y for You
More fond memories of bullying! Bull is almost concilatory compared to yesterday: the fist has been supplanted by a meaty index finger, and rather than make Les bleed, he proposes to “settle things”. Bull should have kept up the violent retoric, as this new approach yields a cooly mocking response from victim Les. Speaking of “cool”, somebody please tell Bull’s friend, Freddie “Boom Boom” Washington, that “burn” was not used in that context in the seventies (except on That 70’s Show).
Bull-o-Knee
Summer’s “rehab” continues: she has graduated from the Barcalounger to an armchair. Although, rather than appearing “ripped“, her knee seems to have atrophied somewhat since the injury. By way of conversation, Summer brings up, in a roundabout way, the torment that her father suffered at the hands of her latter-day coach slash physical therapist, triggering in Bull a sepia-toned flashback.

When Harry Drilled Harriet
I’ll say this for Harry Dinkle: he’s the one character in this strip who looks like his old self in flashbacks. A few weeks ago, college-age Les was depicted without his helmet hair and picture-window specs, looking almost manly. TB has had less success updating Cindy Summers’ narwhal-inspired 80s coif. And during Funky’s flashback last summer, teenage Holly was transformed from a Picasso-eyed ditz into Britney Spears. But classic Dinkle retains his character, with his low-slung Gestapo hat and airline pilot uniform. Nowadays, however, he’s just another of TB’s doughy, indistinguishable, cranky old white men.
Beat It
Your link to today’s comic is here.
In a flashback, Bully Bull Bushka is about to make Helmet Head Les spit bloody Chiclets. There’s a life lesson in today’s strip, kids: years removed from high school, the strapping jock has become a feeble, wishy-washy, paunchy middle-aged man, while the meek nerd…has also become a feeble, wishy-washy, paunchy middle-aged man.
