Clockwise from the bottom left:
- Ironically, a "stein is half empty" guy is more likely to be an optimistic "glass is half full" guy. Leroy certainly looks to be in high spirits (oh hey these drinking double entendres write themselves). In all my experiences, I have never seen anyone do the drunk lampshade thing at a party; maybe I just haven't been going to the right parties? Given Leroy's long history of commandeering lampshades, I would expect veteran friends of the Lockhorns to remove all of them from the house before throwing a party. Loretta gets the point and leads 1-0.
- Although he doesn't end up scoring a point, Leroy deserves some kudos for turning his usual henpecked situation with Loretta into an excuse to blow off an unwanted salesman. He might as well make something slightly positive out of an overwhelmingly negative situation (what can you say, he's a "stein is half empty" sort of guy). Although maybe Leroy should have purchased what the solicitor was selling as a spiteful way to get back at Loretta. In the end it's a push. Loretta leads 1-0.
- Was there such a shortage of shopping carts that Loretta was forced to take one of those half sized kids carts? It looks like it can barely hold a box of cereal. Speaking of cereal, while I don't often see eye to eye with Leroy's frugal rantings, I have to say I agree that name brand cereals are way overpriced. Maybe I'm just not that big a connoisseur of cereals but I can't tell the different between the cheaper generic Honey Nut Cheerios and the real stuff. Just look below for the Malt-O-Meal bags, Leroy. It's another push as Loretta clings to her 1-0 advantage.
- Although the Lockhorns are crying poverty in the cereal aisle, they seem to have an impressive collection of expensive looking audio/visual devices. Of course the Lockhorns wouldn't be the Lockhorns without completely twisted household spending priorities. Then again, some of those electronic devices may be their VHS and home 8 Track players so it may not be the ostentatious set up we initially imagined. It still doesn't explain why they would average nearly 4 remotes per electronic device. I guess they never threw away their old remotes? The streak of pushes continues to a third panel. Could Loretta end up winning 1-0?
- It would be more accurate to say Leroy prefers fast food restaurants because he doesn't have to tip. Regardless of whether you're eating in or using the drive-thru, there's no tipping involved in a fast food chain (in this case, the Lockhorns have gone to some weird east coast Jack in the Box knockoff). Leroy may also prefer the drive-thru because he is lazy and lives an unhealthy lifestyle with poor eating habits. Loretta might have been better off going in that direction. Regardless, Loretta gets the point and takes a low scoring shutout victory.
