I like how Les doesn’t just look through the window as Summer shoots baskets in the driveway; he has to surreptitiously peer from behind a curtain. Finally he makes his presence known and attempts to engage his “kiddo” in some father-daughter chat, offering a baseball analogy to his hoops-dreamin’ daughter. Way to rebound, Les. Try not to show your fear of the ball!

I have a feeling that this week we’ll get the term “school levy” shoved down our collective throats. Let’s see…the “coming school levy”…”the looming school levy”…that seems about right.

Batiuk should save himself some time and aggravation by creating a new character. Call him “Befuddled and/or Put-Upon Westview Resident”, and have him serve as the foil for all doorbell gags involving “canvassing”, band candy and band turkey sales. Today’s generic neighbor is merely a moustache and chin away from Maddie’s customer from last month.

sourbelly: “…it looks like…Cory’s face has been run over by a steamroller.” Looks like that steamroller has struck again!
“Ghost? Haunt? Get it?” Anybody else making that statement would be credited with possessing some wit. But since the speaker is brain-dead Bull Bushka, Les immediately assumes that it must be an inadvertent Yogi-ism.
De-lighted
The Pay-to-Play arc concludes (hopefully) today as Les and two of his harem witness yet another cost-cutting measure. I’d wager that even with the lights off, the visitors hand the Scapegoats a whuppin’.
