Even a putz like Les Moore gets tired after awhile of having sunshine blown up his ass. All he wants now is to get out of the pizza joint and back to the office slash garage to start writing Lisa’s Story II: The Other Other Shoe. But his agent slash publicist has got other plans: the organ grinder bids the monkey dance some Mo’.
Looks like the Book Launch is about to commence. Funky has brought out a table skirt to transform the pizza parlor into an upscale literary den. All the significant (living) females in the Life of Les are here: long-suffering Cayla, relentless stalker Susan, dutiful daughter Summer, and his “agent slash publicist” slash former bag lady, Ann Apple. Lisa is present too (when is she not?): this time in the (somber) cover art for the book. Except for the pink color, that book cover looks kind of familiar…
It’s amazing that Apple Annie had the money for a plane ticket: apparently she owns only one outfit (that damn pink jacket).
“Don’t look back: something might be gaining on you.” Funky disregards the advice of the great Satchel Paige, and frets about the old lady and the stroller mom who are hot on his heels. He should be more worried about Masky McDeath catching up with him.
As he did last week with the name “Jitters Coffee Shop”, TB once again manages to squeeze in the link to lisaslegacyfund.org. Oh well, I guess it’s for a good cause.
Wait! There goes Owen! Yo! Owen! Come back here and tell us how miserable your summer was! Where’s Cody? Hey! Hey, where ya goin’? Owen? Get back here and give us something to talk about instead of this lame story arc!
Keisha returns home from workin’ up a sweat with her BFF. She’s greeted by mom Cayla, who unveils her latest strategy to woo Westview’s most famous scribe: a new ‘do. Am I reading too much into the look of glassy-eyed desperation in Cayla’s eyes in the last panel? Younger…please oh please tell me I look younger…
