(Click to enlarge)Clockwise from the bottom left:
- I originally thought that the "Book Revue" was just an outdated generic term for a book store, but as it turned out, it's the name of an actual book store in the Lockhorns' native Long Island. Every time the Lockhorns enter a bookstore (well, basically any store) it becomes a footrace between them to drop a location specific insult on the other. Had Leroy been a step faster it very well could have been Leroy telling Loretta not to waste money on cookbooks instead of her insulting his inept home improvement skills and getting the point.
- If it wasn't for the caption, I would have sworn Leroy was suffering a major heart attack. He's got the look of unbearable pain in his chest and the numb looking right arm. The caption for that would have been something along the lines of Leroy suffering a heart attack because he saw Loretta' bill. Even if it wasn't a heart attack, Leroy's attempt to turn his minor ailment into a dig on Loretta's lifelong struggles with shopping addiction is still a winner. All tied up.
- Come on Loretta, really? The only thing? As someone who's been harping on his legendary cheapskate tendencies for all these decades, we both know that Leroy would take every possible "free" item from a hotel room that wasn't bolted down. How do think he manages to furnish the living room on his meager salary? Also, what exactly is the point of putting a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the inside door to your house? Push.
- It appears that the Lockhorns have again gotten so lost that they've managed to break free of the bonds of space and time. This time around, in an attempt to find some random bistro noted in a doctor's office manage, the Lockhorns have managed to travel back to a Depression Era dinner. If only Leroy would just swallow his pride and ask for some directions. Push to the future.
- Obviously the rotary phone, analog television owning Lockhorns are nowhere near tech savvy enough to be carrying multiple portable electronic gadgets and cellphones. I'm going to assume that they just spent 20 frustrating minutes attempting to turn off Leroy's beeper. With a 3 to 1 advantage, the day has turned out to be an overwhelming push.
Official Count:
Leroy - 32
Loretta - 42
Push - 42
I believe the joke in the upper right is actually supposed to be taking a shot at magazines in doctors' offices, which are supposedly always painfully out of date. This I only know from quips by observational stand-up comics, and not from any extensive firsthand experience in medical waiting rooms. Perhaps if I ever get health insurance, I can substantiate this longtime claim.
ReplyDeleteThe only doctors' waiting rooms I go to have "Highlights" and "Zoobooks".
