That is the utmost BEST nickname EVER for Lowell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am still laughing my body parts off. I need oxygen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kelly better not be thinking of remessing the place up, or they will have the cops back there again… (building a set, nah, his producer won’t go for it)
I noticed a slight pause before she said ‘manager’. Self promotion, or did Hubie give her that? Looks like she’s waiting for someone else to unlock the door.
No strip today, leaving us with nothing to do but over-analyze recent developments.
The excessively hirsute new Lowell was not recognized by co-worker/weasel Mal (Apr 28 extra). Lowell is looking for vengeance, and projects way more physical menace than before doing the raccoon boot camp. Mayhem due at Sportsmart? I would guess not, unless Dub hasn’t filled his quota.
Nikki might be in a nest-building phase, keeping the pad she shared with the neohippies, and assuming management of the store. Kara is safe with Hubris, but does Nikki know that? Room for story development?
The next story arc is probably the TV thing. Hubie’s media experience (years ago, real time) was painful, so he may be reluctant to participate. Or, thinking of his high pain threshold, maybe not.
The only thing I foresee for Nikki/Paste is a major smackdown.
Nikki has enough grace and class I’m sure it will be simple, succinct and deal with it definitively. (Had a few incidents myself about that age with guys and shut them down without trying-Nikki being older should be able to do it)
Funny how it’s only now that Kelly — or the powers that be who run the show — is seeking a story on big stores trying to put little stores out of business, given that the fondest dream of “Darth Dingleberry” (though I’m still especially fond of Chunkybutt) had been to put Hubris out of business. But that was before Sportsmart sacked Lowell, who is now gunning for them (I hope not literally).
I think Kelly will get his story, though probably not the one he had in mind. And you can be pretty sure that there will be no need to make it look like a disaster, because there’s bound to be a real one in the offing.

hehe GREAT nickname for lowell i swear
and yeah i don’t think he knows hubris that well to be so surprised
She’s good. Hubris needs to keep her own.
Dingleberry, dingle berry, dingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to run a store (out of business) today…
TSOJ you’re the one that owes me today, I was drinking when I checked back and read that! Double, I got the cellphone and keyboard.

See, that’s the reason I bother. You guys catch this stuff. It’s very gratifying.
or is she planning to become using PASTE’S BEHAVIOR as a leverage…
gotta wonder at this point.
I’d vote one part each (waiting for the unlock and going to use Paste as a leverage point)
who is he . since when does kelly not know lowel. guess hubris gave her the job after all paste will proably be upset.
Well, if she does, then we get to see his Paste’s dad, as he pays his way through that…
Betting Mom shows up with the checkbook and that will fix that.
Lowell has been called many things by many characters but this is the best one yet.
Happy Cartoonists Day (May 5) Greg!! Keep that ink flowing!! Our lives would be boring without you!!

This is our job. Analysing and doping out storylines.
And keeping Greg hopping because we either guess exactly or give him new fodder. Heh.
