Quota-Bull

Screw football, boy’s basketball, and all other Westview sports: everybody knows that the Lady Scapegoats basketball team reigns above all other sports teams, thanks of course to Summer “Specialest Snowflake” Moore. Whatever will capture the imagination of the Westviewvians now that there’s no more girls’ hoops?

Re: panel 3: “You can stack the deck all you want…but chance gets the last deal.” I thought the whole point of “stacking the deck” was to eliminate chance. Maybe TB is really just tipping the Funky fedora to his fellow cartoonist Chance Browne?

Land of the Freeze

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!

Child of the Moon

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.
