Clockwise from the bottom left:
- Does Loretta really even have to ask? It is amazing the number of previously unknown talents Leroy displays when he wants to insult Loretta and her mother. Today we see that Leroy is quite skilled in the art of needlepoint. I suppose Leroy could have just bought the large sign, but I like to think that he put in the extra personal effort. Additionally, the ever stingy Leroy would always opt to save some cash by choosing the D.I.Y. route (that has certainly been his philosophy in the past, much to the detriment of the house, when it came to plumbing repairs). Leroy earns the first point and takes a 1-0 lead.
- Normally the Lockhorns survey their depressing financial situation at their large old timey roll top desk. Perhaps they were forced to sell it due to their depressing financial situation. How Loretta can talk about saving money with a straight face, I do not know. Is she that blind to the fact that her reckless shopping sprees are the main reason for the Lockhorns' money woes? Leroy should really take advantage of these accounting sessions to dig into Loretta about her deficit spending rather than just looking on in mute hopelessness. It's a push, the score remains 1-0 in favor of Leroy.
- Leroy channels his inner Wooderson, turning up the sleaze factor as he does some hard ogling at his latest Amazonian target. I can't really blame Leroy for his wandering eye, if I was constantly surrounded by freakishly proportioned bimbos all the time I would be endlessly distracted as well (although more by the novelty of their freakish appearance than any lustful attraction). What sort of bizarre place are the Lockhorns in anyway? In addition to looking like someone's backyard, they are formally dressed while t shirt and jean clad bimbos wander around. Leroy grabs another point and advances to a 2-0 lead.
- I am always slightly surprised that a small rowboat can hold the Lockhorns up without capsizing. Aside from all their extra weight, I don't know how they can find any room for their monstrous feet. Loretta's presence on the boat itself is already a victory for her in ruining Leroy's day, but the additional complaints about the poor fishing is just a bitter cherry on top. Even God seems to be joining in on the fun by throwing in a pouring rain storm to add an exclamation point to all the awfulness. Loretta gets the point and cuts the lead to 2-1.
- Initially I wasn't sure who to give the point to in this panel. On one hand you have Loretta ruining Leroy's television watching with some well timed vacuuming. On the other hand Loretta is doing housework while Leroy is lounging around shouting sarcastic comments at her. In the end I went by the facial expressions and body language and Loretta just had a defeated look about her while Leroy looked to be on the offensive. It was a close call. Leroy gets the point and manages to prevent the push to take the day with a strong 3-1 victory.
