Aha. So it seems creepy Steve wants to sit and watch basketball practice with his hands down his pants (and during prime custodial hours…what a slacker!) We thought he was after Micah’s 26-year-old younger sister, but he’s just using her to get to mike a wang. Hey Micah, here’s some advice: when the skeezy janitor comes up to you, tells you to call him Steve and recommends you start acting like your sister…THAT’S when you get moving…the hell out the door as fast as possible!
Besides, if I wanted a creepy guy offering unsolicited coaching advice that makes no sense, give me Clambake any day.
P3 At least Wiggy has Micah sweating after the ickey come-on.

P1: Hey Huang, listen, I see a creepy stalker situation developing here, but I’m just going to call it unsolicited volunteer coaching and sidle off in my usual fashion…what’s that?…I hear someone calling me, so just, ya know, make something happen and if that doesn’t work make something else happen, nice talkin’ to ya Huang.
P2: Hey Huang, speaking of loud and outgoing, pull my finger!
P3: Hey Huang, let me show you an old geography trick I learned that will help you pretend to be your sister. I’m gonna need you to get a couple pairs of your sister’s shoes and bring them to me.

The look on young Michah Huang’s face is priceless. He looks like “Man, this janitor dude is creepin’ me out. Be like my sister? what the hell does he mean…steal her clothes and wear them?”
I’m with you Jason. When it comes to creepy stalker types, give me Clambake!!!!

The Luhm character is as compelling as any since the homeschool playa/coach from the mid-aughts. I hope he doesn’t turn out to be the guy on the block who is “giving out the best candy on Halloween”. I hope he is not like the pizza guy.

Lock your eyes on one hole, get set, and swing. And keep doing it.

Steve Luhm’s basketball advice! It’s shitty!

Hey Huang, speaking of loud and outgoing, pull my finger!
ROFLMFAO

Steve Luhhhm has plenty of time to stalk Mudlarks, since his only actual janitorial duty consists of pushing around a mini-dumpster and emptying the occasional wastebasket. No scrounging vomit out of toilet stalls or scraping gum off the undersides of desks for Stevie, oh no. The school budget’s shot to Hell (no actual teaching, 1/12; darkened hallways, 12/31), but Steve is footloose and fancy-free. Must have a strong union.

Having been a high school teacher, I can assure you all that the creepy janitor type is a frequent ocurrence at schools. They just don’t seem to know their place. I will be very disappointed if the comic’s management doesn’t do something unpleasant to Steve Luhn very soon.

1/15 lesson: How to be a good team leader-
1) Call each player by name.
2) Tell him to play hard.

It just dawned on me that post title is a Caddyshack reference, which is ironic because “Hey Huang” in my post was also a Caddyshack reference.
Na-na-na-na-na.

Thanks, numbskull, for making me go to the Pantheon of hair for 5 minutes of laughs.

I have a feeling “Huang” is pronounced “Wong.” As in, “Sorry, Mr. Luhm but it’s Huang to hit on teen-aged asian boys.” Or “Looks like Marty Moon woke up on the Huang side of the bed again.”

So, Michah is either WONG or WANG?
Or on a good day he’s WITE? lol
(as opposed to WONG)
sheesh -
