Upright, Outta Sight

Save the Snark Update! Thanks to those who have responded to SoSF’s first-ever (and hopefully last-ever) fundraising drive to help cover web hosting and miscellaneous expenses. Snarkers who wish to show their appreciation may use the PayPal button in the right-hand column…I’ll show my appreciation by wrapping up the begathon at the end of this Friday.
Thanks all, and Stay Funky!

When he’s not just making up words to make himself sound “impo’tant”, Bull likes to mix up his sports jargon. Maybe he really is talking about “putting the basketball through the uprights“; this would cause the backboard and hoop to come crashing to the floor. While this wouldn’t win any games, such a feat of strength would certainly strike terror into the hearts of the opponents.

Cayla, meanwhile, is amazed to see her Caucasian doppelgänger holding the Channel One mic.

Hats a Fact, Jack

Before we really dive into the insanity that is today’s strip: isn’t Dinkle retired? Is he still on the schools’ payroll? Get a load of him, strutting right into the high school like he owns the joint, not displaying one of those clip-on ID’s that TB painstakingly draws on every teacher. Where my kids go to school, this would be verboten.

As would be the wearing of hats by students. While it’s clear that these students are just arriving to school on a cold morning, we haven’t seen Owen without that stupid chullo stuck on his head since before Halloween. (Okay, once.) So, do you reckon TB went to a mall somewhere (would have to be about a year and a half ago), noticed a couple kids wearing these hats, and made the assumption that this is what “all the kids” are into these days?

Something Wiki This Way Comes

Les’ verbal caning of Owen continues, as does Owen’s dim perception of right and wrong. To quote the late John Wayne, “…it’s gettin’ to be re-God-damn-diculous…”   It’s bad enough that TB revisits the topic of internet plagiarism again and again. But he compounds the monotony with four consecutive days of sputtering Les setting up Owen for an unfunny “punchline”.

Just Not My Type

Yes, Les Moore is the avatar we love to hate, but at least give him credit today for not losing his patience and smacking the living shit out of Owen…minus a few points for referring to Owen’s choice of  “typeface” instead of “font”.
