(Click to enlarge)Clockwise from the bottom left:
- Nothing like a good old fashion home cooked meal to kick off the last Sunday Showdown of the year, technically of the decade. Leroy gives our poor first time dinner guest (I don't think there are any second time dinner guests) a quick overview of the rituals involved in eating Loretta's dangerous cooking. Leroy should also mention all the praying that many guests usually engage in during the meal as they pray for some higher power to end their gruesome suffering. Leroy takes the first point.
- Loretta shows off some of her extensive collection of "I'm With Stupid" t-shirts, or as she likes to refer to them "formal wear". It's a quality rank out by Loretta but we all could have been spared the grossly objectionable sight of her in a tank top. With the end of summer, I thought we were all in the clear regarding seeing Loretta in anything less than a conservative matronly dress. How terribly wrong I was. Loretta ties it up 1-1.
- I'm having an extremely difficult time processing this scene. So this scene is implying that Leroy just told Loretta he "loved" her and Loretta is reciprocating by giving him an affectionate embrace? Well, the universe hasn't imploded into itself so at least we know that the Lockhorns haven't completely put aside their decades of hatred and started "loving" each other. I'm going to assume, to prevent myself from suffering a fatal aneurysm, that this is all part of some elaborate long con by Leroy to get back at Loretta and that Loretta's showing of affection is actually totally born out of spite to make Leroy feel as uncomfortable as possible. This situation is far too complex to award either side the point, let's call it a push and just hope that everything returns to normal.
- I've never been more happy to see the Lockhorns involved in a pointless push. The more distance we put between us and that prior horrific display the better. While it's usually Leroy who is the one having problems appreciating high culture, today it's Loretta who seem to be so baffled by modern art that she suspects a trash can may be some sort of installation. Leroy, alas, cannot capitalize on this situation since he's just as confused himself. It's another push and everybody remains tied.
- Now this is the sort of physical contact between the Lockhorns that I fully approve of! Apparently Leroy's liquored up flirting has reached such an objectionable point that Loretta is now ready to "derail" Leroy, probably with a furious series of left and rights from those monstrous meat hooks she calls hands. It looks like another visit to Dr. Blog is coming up on the horizon. I wonder if Leroy will mock the poor quality of service or the high price...or maybe both! With that pounding, Loretta snatches the last Sunday Showdown of the year, 2-1.
