Today we see what Cayla was hiding under that pirate shmatte: a(-nother) new hairdo! So preoccupied is Les with his own situation that Cayla has to prompt him for a compliment, and she receives only a halfhearted one at that.
Meanwhile, in the Computer Lab, the number of “people on the internet” who have witnessed The Kiss grows to at least a million six. Even Cody and Owen share in the hilarity!
Today’s post title comes courtesy of the Damnwells:
The high school flashback arc comes full circle, back to Les’ main crush, Kelly. Good luck striking up a “casual” conversation with her, Les, after she’s already seen her name written obsessively all over your notebook.
I actually laughed at today’s strip as teenage Les gets “owned” by Mary Sue. Of course, years later Les would enjoy the last laugh at Mary Sue’s expense.
Listen: Les Moore has come unstuck in time (to paraphrase a line from Slaughterhouse-Five). The widower Moore flashes back to his nerdy high school days, where once again he’s striking out, even worse than yesterday, with “Kelly”. Back in the present day, Funky still can’t believe his best friend’s predicament. Maybe since Les hasn’t named the “two women” he’s talking about, Funky thinks there are two more women besides Susan and Cayla who are attracted to Les?
Never mind that: Les’s blue shirt from yesterday has morphed into its customary yellow!
Today we’re hearkening back to the days when this used to be a “comic” strip. Les borrows one of Bull’s fractured sports metaphors to illustrate his lack of success with the ladies. In TB’s latest round of retconning, Teenage Funky sports a turtleneck, and is full of worldly advice on how to score, whereas we longtime FW readers know that despite his “cool” name, Funky was only a shade less uncool than Les.
Jump to the present, where the lifelong friends are so out of touch with one another that Funky is shocked, shocked to learn of this long-simmering love triangle.
