Today we see what Cayla was hiding under that pirate shmatte: a(-nother) new hairdo! So preoccupied is Les with his own situation that Cayla has to prompt him for a compliment, and she receives only a halfhearted one at that.
Meanwhile, in the Computer Lab, the number of “people on the internet” who have witnessed The Kiss grows to at least a million six. Even Cody and Owen share in the hilarity!
Today’s post title comes courtesy of the Damnwells:
Well, look who’s managed to hang on to his teaching job. And like any Westview teacher, Les doesn’t try to hide his contempt for his students. Just look at the sidelong glance his disembodied head in panel one is giving. “Use your high-tech electronic gizmos in my classroom, will you?” TB again resorts to the trusty made-up website names, and references smart phones in a vain attempt to give his strip that “now” feeling. And for the coup de grâce, the cartoonist who regularly devotes whole Sundays to copping artwork from other cartoonists is going to have his avatar lecture the kids about plagiarism.
Sensing Tony’s technophobia, Darin proceeds to just flat-out just fucking with Tony’s head.
Lesser Whark again: “These two strips [Thursday’s and today’s] contradict each other. Does the app just direct people’s browsers to the Montoni’s website (a waste of an app, especially given their discussion on the 25th)? Or, does it replace the website, as described in the second strip?”
Darin treats his new employers to a preview of Montoni’s mobile ordering site…using his laptop. Well, the laptop is “mobile” compared to that clunky old Pear Computer™ Bartlett II® on which he unveiled Montoni’s early website.
Funky and Tony look to be about the same age. Except Tony is supposed to be 20 years older than him. –Riff Chick
Could those glasses be any less masculine? It’s like Funky borrowed them from Dame Edna. –David O
I like Funky sporting those Al Davis Granny-Glasses chains again. –sourbelly
Oh yeah, those Funky glasses are just too much. Looks like he just got back from bingo. The guy ages in dog years. — Epicus Doomus
To me he looks at least twenty years older than Tony, who at least is standing up on his own. –Miskatonic Sophomore
Considering Funky’s usually being looking seventy-eighty-something lately, maybe this can be seen as an improvement. –John

Just how does he plan to ‘get’ that app written? Will he write it himself (lots of time), or contract it out (lots of money)?
Apparently, there’s a third option: pull it out of his ass. Darin unveils his (useless and totally unnecessary) mobile app for Montoni’s pizza. Tech-savvy though he may be, Darin has yet to learn that folks in Westview are a little touchy about distracted driving!

I just hope White Minivan Cell Phone Girl (if she survived, that is) doesn’t start fooling around with her pizza apps while driving and end up sending someone else hurtling through time.
(The whole time I was writing this post, I couldn’t get this song out of my head: “Goin’ Mobile”, the Who)
