Can’t snark on this one. I have a teenager in the high school band. This is funny and true-to-life. Thumbs up, Batiuk.

Blunder-bus
The Ralph-Kramden era bus chugs through the predawn darkness towards Cincy. Owen has a situation, and Becky, being, well, Becky, knows better than to expect the news to be anything but good.
Blow It Out Your Bullhorn
Owen is not a morning person. But Blondie over there on the right is certainly rarin’ to go!
At Dawn, We Ride
Is anyone else as happy as I am to see Cody and Owen? After a fourth-quarter 2010 dealing with Les’ endless grief, Wally’s (hopefully resolved) anxieties, and Becky’s life turned upside-down by the band turkey sale, an appearance by Funky and Les’ 21st century teenage analogues means that we are back to teh funneh! But not before we spend the first two panels on exposition, courtesy of Chin Pubes Owen. The Marching Goats are off to the Queen City for the MENC North Central Division Conference, which, whaddaya know, is actually happening this week in the real world.
Pencil Mania
I’ve read this “gag” over and over and, maybe because my senses have been dulled by holiday revelry, I just do not get the punchline. “Four pencils and an eraser” equals five…there’s five on a side, right? So they’re all tall except for one short player (the “eraser”)? But the one player Bull singles out, “number nine, their center”, is especially tall. Wouldn’t that make them four erasers and a pencil? Or one Number 2 pencil and four of those pencils you keep score with at mini golf? And there are only five of them? No subs? Doesn’t “number nine, their center” have a name? I know there are at least a couple of you who know basketball. Please enlighten me.
