February 22, 2009: Sunday Showdown!

(Click to enlarge)

Clockwise from the bottom left:
  • Loretta's really been on a roll with the whole "humiliating Leroy about his low paying go nowhere job". Notice the happy silhouettes in the window showing how quickly the stifling, thick air of awkwardness and unease dissipates when the Lockhorns leave a party. Also, now they have Leroy's embarrassingly small salary to laugh about. Loretta kicks things off with the first point.
  • A SHOT OF A SWEATY LORETTA IN A ONE PIECE LEOTARD! OH DEAR GOD NO!!! I don't know how many showers it'll take to make me feel clean again! Push, Push, for goodness sake, push!
  • 1986? The Lockhorns have no interest in dressing up their current jalopy to look like some sort of distant future prototype flying rocket car! Push again.
  • The Lockhorns are venturing into dangerous Ziggy-like territory with this unfeasible complaint they're lodging with the IRS. Also has anyone else noticed that nearly all other jobs in the Lockhorns' universe are done by the same character which may or may not be Leroy's best friend? Bizarre! A push once again.
  • A solid rank out by Loretta, but unfortunately Leroy isn't around to hear it and make his usual angry face. She's really got to start writing these down and saving them for when Leroy's around for maximum effectiveness. If an insult is told in the forest and no one's around, is it an insult? In an especially non-confrontational day, Loretta's initial zing proves to be the 1-0 difference maker.
Official Count:
Leroy - 15
Loretta - 20
Push - 18
