November 3, 2013: Sunday Showdown!

(Click to Enlarge)

Clockwise from the bottom left:
  • To no one's surprise, Leroy did not care for the dialog heavy French language art house film. Leroy probably would have preferred even going to the opera, at least he wouldn't have had to read there. While Loretta, undoubtedly dragged Leroy to the movie to watch him suffer and then belittle his lack of sophistication, Leroy cuts her off by being the first to complain. In Leroy's defense I also think a film with as generic a translated title as "Life and Love" wouldn't be all that entertaining. Leroy wins the point and leads 1-0.
  • Of course the only time Loretta would ever consider showing some restraint on her spending is if it involved mocking Leroy about his modest earnings; although Leroy's small paycheck has never stopped Loretta from her shopping binges before. It think Loretta's just making a snappy burn to a suggestion by Leroy to stop spending beyond their means. Somebody get this man some aloe vera. Loretta earns a point and ties the day up 1-1.
  • I would think a lazy man like Leroy would be the one dismissing a proposed camping trip. Though I guess he enjoys his fishing (generally one of the lazier leisure time activities). Of all the potential hardships of roughing it in nature, Loretta picks, what I think, one of the lesser inconveniences to complain about. If she really wants to shoot down camping she could mention bears, mosquitoes, lack of internet, and proper toilets among others more severe inconveniences. Still, Loretta scores the point on Leroy and surges to a 2-1 lead.
  • Leroy seems to be having a rather one sided conversation with Daddy Warbucks from "Annie". In contrast to the fat cat industrialist, Leroy looks extra shabby. You'd think Leroy would try to clean himself up a little before having a conversation with the guy. Loretta continues a fine streak of solid put downs of Leroy; the addition of the family friend gives her insults an extra viciousness. After dropping the first panel, Loretta gets another point and rides three straight winning panels to clinch the day. Loretta leads 3-1.
  • To Leroy's credit, he refuses to just phone it in after Loretta's clincher and manages to earn an ultimately irrelevant point to preserve some pride. Leroy's lazy Sunday sports viewing set up works together in perfect synergy to irritate and annoy Loretta. You better believe Leroy's got some sweatpants on (or even no pants for that matter). On an unrelated note, that punter on TV looks like a linebacker; the Whatever City Whites look to be a physical team. Leroy gets himself a point, but in the end Loretta takes the day 3-2.
