Jeez, Doyle Dane is one of the most delusional characters we’ve seen in Milford. He is masterminding some type of public relations campaign…just because! Dude, marketing is not a hobby! Marketing is a necessary evil by which opinions are manipulated to cause people to spend money on crap (or support crap by voting for it). Even if Ding Dong is just practicing for a future career in marketing with whatever opportunities present themselves to him in high school (heightening awareness of the gimmicky presence of Terry Gallagher on the football team??) he certainly showing minimal awareness of how his peers communicate. Phones? Posters? Okay he acknowledges the role of social media, but the visual representation of Ding Dong’s marketing prowess is calling one of Milford’s leading blabbermouths assuming the chatty Cathy pose not seen (outside of Milford) since Kitten on Father Knows Best.

Oh boy…more of this newfangled “coaching” by Steve Boone!
Whatever, let’s see what Ding Dong’s marketing hath wrought? Huh? Spontaneous idiocy with troubling racist overtones? That’s just a naturally occuring phenomenon in the Valley Conference. Ding Dong fail. Hey, there’s always barber college.
Wait, Vance? That guy is Vance?

Check it out. A totally new view of Marty’s crate!
Um, The Emerald Aisle? I guess that’s a callback to the stupid pun from Stefan Harvey’s party (ain’t no party like a Harvey party!) but how does it make sense as a poster at a football game? Whatever.
So, will Gallagher do something useful? Will he intercept the deflected pass? Will he know which way to run? Stay tuned.
Rip, rip, rip-off! Great Caesar’s ghost [not 'the Ghost'], Whigam wake up! Vance??! Really??! You clearly drew Jamarr Gaddis. Jamarr was our favorite tool or a while. Please pay attention, sir! I want my money back.
Kitten, F K B.. wow that’s trip miles back down Memory Lane, Ned. That show was cringe worthy.

The string of advert names is getting a little old. Vance? Vance PACKARD? I have an awful sense the four defensive linemen will turn out to be Batten, Barton, Durskin, and Osborne, or BBDO Worldwide for short. Or maybe they will be Steve’s interior line, with Thorsten Veblen at center…

Even Marty thinks this storyline stinks. Time to roll up some new characters.

Guys – this is important: I have a Bakst in Charleston. The link is to a very sad story about a fatal DUI in Charleston, but in there is a quote from a man, last name of Bakst. He is (or was) a GM at a local restaurant, which makes it unclear why in the strip ( http://gilthorp.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/marty-marty-why-you-buggin/ ) he would be staying in a hotel, unless that was the best way that Rubin could give him a shout out. Anyway, here’s the sad story: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20120805/PC16/120809513

Alas and alack, from looking through the comments of the original Bakst post, I see that someone already found the guy. So much for TWIM immortality for me.
