Just one quick thought today: Remember what Cap’n Freak-of-Nature-Combover told his kids back on March 12?
He didn’t just say it…he said it again!
But now he claims to Gil what he told them was to do more reporting, and is punishing the students for doing exactly what he told them to do.
Dude, Mr. Koteskey is a dick.
First!!!
I have nothing to say about this damn basketball story that seems to have dragged on as long as the Iraq War. But I do want to say that I dig the Random Amusing Panel o’ the Moment. I remember when you used it for a FO comic about Eli Manning and Philip Rivers.

I say the real dick is the one writing this feature. Today’s installment is kind of like a story that ends “And then they all went home and lived happily ever after.” The long confrontation with Brynna… the two esteemed faculty members accusing each other of malfeasance… and now, they just tell us everything is okay. Time for baseball season! (And whatever happened to the basketball teams, anyway???)
It is possible to write a good surprise ending, but this ain’t it. Now, it’s time for Art Abuse!
Panel 1: At first, I thought Gil and Fred were having a meaningful conversation at adjoining urinals, until I noticed the stairway in the background. Whew!
Panel 3: Rick and Helen are certainly writing some long-ass papers, if those stacks of printouts on the table are any indication. 500 pages apiece? I guess Jason was right: Fred Koteskey is a dick.

Isnt anyone else on the newspaper staff besides Rick & Helen?
My high school had the whole senior journalism class as the ‘staff’.
You signed up for the class, you contributed to the paper. No questions.

Koeskey is a supreme dick for making BOTH conjoined twins write a paper.

Panel 1 confounding art alert: the far edge of Koteskey’s shoulder is in front of Gil’s chest and Gil’s chin is in front of Koteskey’s shoulder. This would be impossible if, as one assumes, they’re supposed to be walking side by side. Maybe Fred’s giving Gil a piggbyback ride?

Don’t mess with Fred Koteskey! His few, brief appearances have been enough to convince me that he is the biggest badass in all of Milford. Which, granted, isn’t saying much, but I still wouldn’t want to cross this man. The detached combover, the frightening, evil closeups, the capricious punishments – Mr. Koteskey is my new hero!

Mr. Koteskey was taking the What Would Belding Do approach, and Screech and Violet Bickerstaff fell for it hook, line, and sinker… He never said “Do what you have to do WITHIN THE LAW.”

#7 made me feel old. “Saved By The Bell” was what my kid brothers and sisters would watch.

How close does Helen need to get to the monitor in panel 2? We knew she’d never make it as a reporter with her eyesight.
