So Susan has also been summoned to Principal Nate’s office, and Nate’s waving a blank piece of paper and giving them hell, throwing in a completely random climate-change reference just to keep it 1/4″ from reality. Before Les can give his side, which I’d really be interested in hearing, Susan goes into her dead-eyed zombie mode and takes the fall.

Summoned
For lack of anything new or interesting to comment upon today, let us focus on Principal Nate’s messenger. I don’t know if it’s the custom in real-world high schools, but apparently students at Westview are pressed into various and sundry clerical positions.Which must really suck for students such as our Miss Generic Brunette, as evinced by her disdainful expression, terrible posture, and the way she’s holding the message from Nate like it’s one of Cody’s discarded Kleenex.
Kiss Catastrophe
Today we see what Cayla was hiding under that pirate shmatte: a(-nother) new hairdo! So preoccupied is Les with his own situation that Cayla has to prompt him for a compliment, and she receives only a halfhearted one at that.
Meanwhile, in the Computer Lab, the number of “people on the internet” who have witnessed The Kiss grows to at least a million six. Even Cody and Owen share in the hilarity!

"Watch" This
The high school flashback arc comes full circle, back to Les’ main crush, Kelly. Good luck striking up a “casual” conversation with her, Les, after she’s already seen her name written obsessively all over your notebook.
Les Needs Women
Today’s strip repeats the formula from yesterday’s: flashback vignette from the “Classic Era” followed by a friend of Les saying something that nobody in the real world would ever say. “Rethink my entire world view”? “Game-changer on a galactic scale”? The hyperbole-as-punchline is irritating enough, but made even moreso by the fact that Les’ lifelong friends are completely uninformed about his relationship status.
