Well, look who’s managed to hang on to his teaching job. And like any Westview teacher, Les doesn’t try to hide his contempt for his students. Just look at the sidelong glance his disembodied head in panel one is giving. “Use your high-tech electronic gizmos in my classroom, will you?” TB again resorts to the trusty made-up website names, and references smart phones in a vain attempt to give his strip that “now” feeling. And for the coup de grâce, the cartoonist who regularly devotes whole Sundays to copping artwork from other cartoonists is going to have his avatar lecture the kids about plagiarism.

Was It Good for You, Too?
“So Coach took care of me.” On more than one occasion, too, judging by the wordless exchange in panel 1. So Bull turns out not to be a bully at all, but rather someone who goes to great lengths to protect meek Les while keeping his tough jock cred.
Why? What’s in it for Bull? Is Les doing Bull’s homework? Looking the other way as Bull moseys past his hall monitor machine gun nest? Has Les hacked into Westview’s sentient computer and hiked up his grades?
Oh, who the hell cares! Today’s the first anniversary of Son of Stuck Funky! Without making too big a deal of it, I’d just like to thank each and every one of you who reads this blog, and most especially the ones who contribute comments and ideas that keep things lively and make it worth coming back! It’s been a fun and interesting year…the highlight, of course, was logging in one Feburary morning to find that WordPress had shut us down!
Proof at last that Mr. Tom Batiuk (and his lawyers) know we exist. But the Snarkoalypse was short lived, and SoSF was back up and running in less than a day. A number of readers sent encouraging emails at that juncture. The biggest surprise was an email from the original Stuck Funky author! SF gave a little background on why the original blog petered out, and gave me his blessing in carrying on the snark. He also expressed some interest in guest-blogging. So I’m very pleased to announce that for the next seven days, I’m hopping into the rumble seat and turning over the keys to the original Stuck Funky!
Pain-Les
Well…in case you didn’t see it coming, or if nobody’s spoiled it for you yet: yes, it’s all a sham. “Boom Boom” and Ocho Dos* revel vicariously, but they are the ones being punk’d. Did you really think ol’ young Bull would ever do serious harm to our main man Les? Yeah, so did I.

In the Closet
The weirdest beatdown in high school history commences. Leaving his henchmen in the hall, Bull strides manfully through a pool of Les’ piss, closes the door, hauls off and…slaps him? What happened to that promised fist-down-throat action? “Smack”? “Ahhhhh”? Are they…kissing? Meanwhile, “Boom Boom”, arms folded, gives an approving “um-hmmm“, Wally Ohcho Dos makes an “attaboy!” gesture, and…well, TB’s just given up trying to draw new tertiary characters, so we have to settle for the back of the blond guy’s head.
Pee O'Clock
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.
