Epic run-on sentence in panel one. Apparently it’s impossible to describe Puppies Behind Bars without using a run-on sentence. How anyone would conflate PBB with Doctors Without Borders, though, is beyond me.

Half-Court Press
The hot one-on-one action is brought to a screeching halt by Keisha’s “serious” question. She’d be better off asking her mom if she seriously intends to continue allowing Les to use her for a doormat.
Uncharted
Dammit, it’s a party! Don’t they have anything else to talk about besides her damn divorce becoming final? “It reminds me of who I am…” Gee, so profound. No wonder Susan is drawn to Les. And the “punchline”, like many of TB’s “punchlines”, just ain’t funny. Is moving up the seating chart a good thing? Who the hell knows?
Today To-d'ohh
Usually when we see the students of Westview in a classroom setting, their facial expressions suggest boredom, stupidity, or lack of sleep. This morning, however, they are all smiles: not only is Mrs. Bushka letting them watch TV, but their hero, hell, everyone’s hero, Mr. Moore, is on the Today show! Judging from the image on the (black and white?) TV, his interviewer is neither Meridith nor Matt. The snarkers who suggested Les would be relegated to hour four of the Today show were right: only Kathie Lee would be dumb enough to flub the title of the book her guest is there to promote. Her classmates’ smiles turn to looks of disbelief, but Summer takes the indignity of hearing her late mother’s name misremembered in stride. She responds not with outrage but with a smirk, and with another entry for the Batiuktionary!
Think Globally, Act Not at All
In a town full of miserable schmucks, there is no one who despises his lot in life more than science teacher Jim Kablichnik. Back in Act II, Jim seemed to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I can recall some strips with him sharing some theories with fellow faculty members that made him sound like he was ready for a tinfoil hat. Batiuk seems to have taken him off that track (although Jim occasionally presents some OCD traits), and instead uses Jim as a vehicle to express his own opinions on intelligent design and climate change. Lately however, Mr. Kablichnik just lives for snow days. He is frankly the best argument I’ve heard against tenure.
