Clockwise from the bottom left:
- Does Anthony Bourdain have a reputation for eating exotic foods? I never actually saw any of his shows. Sticking with the basic cable crowd Leroy could have also referenced Bear Grylls. Regardless, we all get the point, Loretta's cooking is straight up disgusting. Her specialty seems to be dull green piles of ambiguous matter. Even if I wanted to replicate her dishes, I wouldn't know where to begin. So I guess that's some kind of skill, right? Leroy wins the point and leads 1-0.
- Sports super fan Leroy once again comes out to watch sports on TV dressed in a baffling collection of random gear. He looks to be wearing a baseball cap with a football jersey (possibly the Miami Dolphins?) and is holding a purple foam finger supporting who knows what. To add to the confusion, he has decided to wear dress shoes and socks for maximum stay at home comfort. It would be sort of hilarious if Leroy was actually dressed like this for church and was setting the DVR before leaving. Loretta scores a point and the day is tied 1-1.
- I have to believe that Leroy is in jail for some actual legitimate crime. My money's on public drunkenness or possibly disorderly conduct (it could even be both). In Leroy's defense, he seems to be rocking (at least on the bottom half) Robin Thicke's famous stripped suit from this year's MTV VMAs; a bold and contemporary fashion choice. This visit by Loretta may not be her first or her last. If the wall markings are accurate, Leroy has been left in jail for 13 days. At least he gets 3 square meals a day. Loretta takes the point and a 2-1 lead.
- Oh look the Lockhorns are having an old fashioned argument with a modern twist! That's always good for a laugh! Though the Lockhorns have been trying their best to keep up with contemporary advances like cellphones and the internet, Loretta's confusion over streaming video show that it is still a work in progress. The one potential scenario where Loretta doesn't sound foolish would be if she left a streaming movie running on her phone at home and she was in danger of going over their data plan. I guess that's a possibility? Leroy gets the point and ties everything up 2-2 going into the final panel.
- As she has done time and time again, Loretta manages to come through in the last panel to claim another Sunday victory. This time Loretta strikes at one of the Lockhorns' near daily cocktail parties, calling out Leroy's age and spotty memory. I feel like age based insults are odd since the Lockhorns are of similar ages, so one doesn't have that much of an upper hand over the other. Here, I suppose the dig could be directed more towards Leroy's failing memory. She could have also just straight up called him a liar too. Loretta earns the point and a 3-2 Sunday Showdown victory.
