(Hatchet) FaceTime

A mere phone call won’t do for techie Darin; he receives his bestie Pete’s consolation via videoconferencing! And providing a straight answer to the straightforward question “How’s he doing” is simply too much to ask.

Buckets of Lame

Linda is on a roll this week, isn’t she, folks? Apparently, since Sum’ Mo’ and Special K moved up to Kent State (currently 3-23), the Lady Scapegoats have reverted to their own losing ways. Linda comes out with yet another idiotic idiom that no one’s ever used. Cayla gamely provides the straight line here, trying to make sense of what Linda means by “empty the bucket time”. I was kinda hoping she meant the old Harlem Globetrotters bit…now that’s funny!

…in contrast to Les, [Linda’s] appearances don’t really do anything. At least with Les you have this often hilarious negative reaction. With Linda, it’s much more tiresome, with the primary reaction usually being boredom.

Holy Toledo, am I starting to hate, hate this comic strip. Having failed to get laughs yesterday with a stroke gag, Batiuk ratchets up the level of discomfort considerably by equating the away team’s “good state of mind” and competitive spirit with… hemorrhagic fever?

So…Black Cloud vs. Good Cloud. Superman helps Good Cloud (he’s the good guy, I’m guessing, based on his name) defeat Black Cloud (bad guy) with The Silver Lining (what?). That sounds really stupid, folks!

Oh, wait, it gets even better! The Silver Lining appears from out of nowhere! In a flash of light! Now that’s what I call “writing!” Incredibly lame, puerile, crappy writing. Even the Lord of the Late is appalled.

I Really Don't Know Clouds at All

Who’s got it better than Mopey Pete? He got to sit staring at his laptop while his friends schlepped all his worldly goods down those rickety stairs. Then Darin’s offhanded comment magically unblock’s Pete’s creativity.
