Apparently Linda Bushka serves as shop steward for the Westview faculty, and she breaks some bad news to the rank and file that the teachers may have to endure a “wage freeze”. Because a salary cut wouldn’t provide Jim up with a setup for a nifty punchline. And firing lousy teachers such as this lot is an impossibility in any school district, fictional or real. Eh, who cares? Feast your squinties on panel 1 Becky’s prominent pinned-up sleeve, Coach Kaz earring and bulbous nose!

But the Levy was Dry
One of the perks of being the Principal is being able to use the school’s message board to chastise the whole town. The bright side in all this, of course, is that now Roberta Blackburn will have to resign her BOE post.

Professor Kablichnick’s Formula for Science Silliness: take one science factoid from last year’s news, then make a lame attempt to make said useless factoid relatable to the little monsters in his classroom, then watch as Cory rises to the bait. By the way, Jim, the lunar shrinkage occurred gradually over the last billion years. You may be old, but the difference in size since your high school days is infinitesimal. And in what way does this impact Cory? I’m pretty sure that he mutters “Perfect…why does everything always happen to me?” anytime there’s a pause in Jim’s lectures.
Much a Douche About Nothing
Naturally, Les is the only one who “gets” the concept of Owen’s costume. Takes one to know one, right? Be careful, “Ben Reilly”: Mr. Moore’s pet peeve about mixed metaphors is well documented. Anyway, if Blonde Sailor Girl despises Owen so much, why has she been following him around all day?
Something Old, Something Newton
Halloween week plods along. Compared to Les, Jim the science guy looks rather distinguished. Seems the teachers are choosing costumes that reflect the subjects they teach; otherwise, Jim would make a far more convincing Mark Twain.
Snobby Mallory has traded her sailor outfit for a witch costume; she’s “pulling a Cher”, changing costumes for each class. I have to guess that the Elvis impersonator is our Cory, although I thought he’d be way too cool for “Halloween Dress-Up Day” (plus he hates wearing costumes). Filling out the rest of today’s cast, clockwise from top: the emperor Caligula, Dorothy from Kansas, and…a hippie scarecrow?
