Westview High School – Page 109

Have a Great Summer! Not!

No…Mr. Green is just doing his part to break your spirit, suck out every last bit of joy from your young lives, and turn you boys into apathetic, gloomy, miserable pricks just like everyone else in town. This! Is! Westvieeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww!

I just stumbled upon an article on Examiner.com: Open letter to ‘Funky Winkerbean’s’ Tom Batiuk: Dude, you have to lighten up. The author, Brian Steinberg, has definitely been suffering along with the rest of us. Check out his article about Thursday’s “comic”; be sure to click on the links to other Funky observations he’s written. I’ve added a link to Brian’s “Comics Examiner” page to my blogroll.

High School Madness

“I’m going to cut the soles off my shoes, sit in a tree and learn to play the flute!”

If you’re not familiar with the Firesign Theatre, you may be asking yourself, WTF? In which case, your homework is to listen to Firesign’s 1970 comedy classic, Don’t Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers. I’ve posted the audio here: http://drop.io/dontcrushthatdwarf_1 (High School Madness begins around 15:20 into “This Side”)

You will still be asking yourself WTF, but you’ll have to admit that Porgy and Mudhead are a hell of a lot funnier than Cody and Owen.

Hey what happened to those two wanna be students (Les & Funky jr.’s?)

TB could at least give us…an Owen and Cody cameo or something.

He’s trite, he’s self-important, but TB is nothing if not clairvoyant: he knew a whole year ago that you snarkers would be clamoring for some Wacky Antics of Cody and Owen®! Three barrels of trash? That’s a lot of caked joy rags!

Couldn't Care Les

Wow, look at that expression of disdain on Les’ puss in panel three. Now that he’s gotten published, he is so done with teaching these ungrateful, ignorant little shits. Come next September, rather than cracking lame jokes in front of another crop of freshmen, Les will be in the Big City, hobnobbing with the rest of the literati.

It's Called Continuity

Y’all thought that the Les-Cayla-Station Wagon Sue thing was going somewhere, didn’t ya? Nope. Welcome to Act IV. Les is finishing up his first year back from a ten-year sabbatical following his suspension for inciting the Great Cafeteria Catfight of 2010/2020.And that student giving him the stink-eye? Not Cory, that’s the hitherto-unseen Wally Jr., now in his sixth year at Westview.

Ten years on, though, Les is still rockin’ that yellow shirt.
