Today TB confounds probably 85% of his loyal fans by dropping the word “vlogs” into his strip (it’s made even more confusing in that damn Funky Winkerbean comic font…”VhO6S”?). 
Upon being introduced to Jinx, Miss Haystack Head immediately goes into self-effacing mode, because in Westview, nobody’s creative output is worthwhile unless their name is Les Moore. Bull and Jinx immediately respond by ignoring Jessica.

The Passion of the Les
John
August 2, 2011 at 5:12 pm…I doubt even the most ardent fan would be with Les on his oh-so-deep angst over this. You keep pretending that this is something awful. But. It. Is. NOT.
…Stop trying to pretend this is misfortune, instead of you once again rewarding your favorite character.
…He wants to be paid, and paid well, but he also wants to pretend that being paid is a trial? Fine. Just stop showing it in-strip, ’cause we’re not buying it.
Not that I need to add to John’s comment excerpted above, but man alive, Les keeps outdoing himself in the insufferable martyr department. By panel 3 his arms are even extended in a crucifixion pose.
Book Tour of Duty redux
DavidO here, filling in for TFHackett, who is currently out doing a “Son of Stuck Funky” book tour.
It must have been a slow day in the shading department when this strip was colored up; what’s with the dramatic shadowing? Maybe they’re trying to imply a nuke just went off a mile down the road from Les’s house but I doubt it. In either case, I’m glad Les said “Cayla” at the beginning of the strip, otherwise we’d have no idea who that white woman coming up the steps to snog was! Once Cayla’s up on the porch, Les does his best Ash impersonation from the end of Army of Darkness, complete with the white stripe on the side of his noggin.
Daddy, Daddy, What Did You Bring Me?
My Dad went on a book tour and all I got was this lousy worthless key card…Les’ thoughtfulness knows no bounds, folks. What a prince.
Your humble scribe is off to Boy Scout camp for a week, with sporadic access to the web. I’m turning over the reins for the next seven days to Assistant Snarkmaster “David O”!
…'Cause I Can't Stands No Moore
He’s flogging the damn book again…I’m pretty sure at this point that TB is doing this to punish us snarkers.
“Dad” has to wait for school to (finally!) be out before “hitting the road”? What, did he use up his “impersonal days“? And suddenly he doesn’t know how to read a boarding pass? What happened to the Frequent Flyin’ Les who had become so jaded with “the road” that he’d taken to abusing anyone who crossed his path?
