Clockwise from the bottom left:
- Do pantyhose take any significant amount of time to put on? Or is this one of those exaggerated situations that only apply to Loretta? Also, are they having dinner with the President or something? What sort of function requires that you call ahead to adjust your arrival time by 15 minutes? Perhaps they're actually going out to meet their IRS agent to discuss their latest audit. In addition to making light of Loretta's pantyhose application time, Leroy could have also just straight up mocked the garments themselves. She looks like she's putting on gigantic blue socks. Leroy takes the first point, goes up 1-0.
- Excellent comic timing by Loretta. Really what better animal to compare Leroy to than the ever lethargic sloth. The only other comparable animals might have been: walrus or possibly a baboon (though they are known to be quite intelligent animals). I would not be surprised if it turned out Loretta had intentionally directed Leroy to the sloth cage just so she could deliver her line (I do have to note that this is an exceedingly poor specimen of a sloth, it looks like some poor deformed albino sloth); Loretta is excellent at making her own shots like that. Loretta scores and ties the game up 1-1.
- Comparing Loretta's cooking to dog food, it doesn't get any more textbook than that. To Loretta's credit, for once her dinner doesn't actually resemble a pile of dog food. It actually looks like something humans may eat; she even broke out the wine glasses, a classy touch. I still would try to stay away from that pale purple colored meat though. I've always wondered how Loretta managed to become resistant to her own cooking, perhaps years of preparing her terrible meals has given her an immunity. Leroy picks up a point, goes ahead 2-1.
- The bead of moisture coming down Leroy's face can either be a tear or a bead of sweat, or possibly a sad combination of both. The only thing worse than an afternoon of miserable frustration while failing to assemble furniture is your wife relentlessly mocking you every step of the way. There is no exaggeration in Loretta's statement, watching Leroy fail is her favorite form of entertainment. It makes me wonder why she even bothers paying for cable. The seesawing slug match continues with Loretta earning the point and tying things up 2-2.
- After four thrilling, back and forth, panels, it's quite disappointing to have the day end on this pointless push. Really, what is the purpose of this scene? To show that Loretta is a jerk? Tell us something we don't know. The only semi-interesting aspect of this panel for me is Loretta's antiquated "cellphone". Just look at the size of that thing! It makes the Zack Morris phone look like a Razor. I think she might just be carrying around her home cordless headset with her; which may be signs that she has gone insane. It's a push as the day ends in a 2-2 tie.
Official Count:
Leroy - 81
Loretta - 96
Push - 55
