By my reckoning, today’s Cory Winkerbean sighting is the first since May of 2010. The strip’s most underexposed and therefore most interesting character comes off the bench to play hatchet-faced straight man to Maddie the Hat, who appears to be wearing Mr. Moore’s yellow shirt.

Funky Minus Les
Millage Idiot
It’s not a punchline-worthy pun if I have to Google the meaning. Oh well, at least Les is nowhere in sight. It’s also heartening to see that not only has the senior class gone to the trouble of repainting “Senior Rock” (remember how lazy the Class of 2011 was?)…they’ve actually picked it up and moved it about twenty yards, to a spot behind the school sign. Now that’s Senior Spirit!
De-lighted
The Pay-to-Play arc concludes (hopefully) today as Les and two of his harem witness yet another cost-cutting measure. I’d wager that even with the lights off, the visitors hand the Scapegoats a whuppin’.
Forced Busing
I’m starting to think that TB is responding to readers who miss the “gag-a-day” format of Act I; except now, the situation derives from a “topical” issue, and of course the gags are absurd or unfunny or both. In today’s strip we get the setup/punchline formula, a la Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon…”Money is so tight for the football team…” “HOW? TIGHT? IS IT?”
