Oh look, it’s Techie McManbun.

P4: “Thanks, my mother and father already GAVE me a name.”

P1, When the superintendent’s door speaks, the ants listen.

P2, So now Bob Dole is the school superintendent for The Valley? How the mighty have fallen.

P3, So by the time you find the name we’ll be on to basketball season?

“Can I get you a name?”

“No, sorry. When I became a Secret Agent Man they gave me a number. Odds are I won’t live to see tomorrow.”

Good Night Chet

In all reality , Can I get you a name ,sure let’s call you Sparky. Try it out for a couple of weeks if you don’t like it we’ll get you another one,

P2- Not so fast my friend. You may be appalled and angry, but Lee Corso is on line 2 waiting for the next order of Ticonderoga #2 pencils for the school district. If you grip that number 2 any tighter, it’s gonna be sawdust.

He needs a consultant and a week to track an IP address? What kind of tech guy is McManbun anyway? Just trying to pad his expenses, like everybody else in this corrupt town!

Come on! My rates are low, my quality can’t be beat, and you get some 2nd grader to do the lettering on the Superintendent’s door? Grrrrrrr

Tech nerd with a man-bun and an attitude to match, vs. a very impatient superintendent. Looks like a stalemate.

P2 – finally found the elderly Napoleon Solo, looking to open channel D

If the Superintendent was Johnnie Cochran, he would have been shocked and outraged.

Glad the guy from P2 kept his zipper shirt on or I would not recognize him in P3 without his pencil. Pus what is he really asking techy for? The 3 screens is a nice touch, All with multiple windows open.

What is going on in panel 3? Whose name? Is that a dude or a lady? P.S. At least in my state, school boards are elected, and don’t do much but rubber stamp the superintendent’s recommendations. They wouldn’t get within a mile of any student data.

Just bluff. Get Chet in a room, tell him you’ve spoken to the IT kid, and you know Chet looked at Chance’s permanent record for personal gain. Chet won’t deny it. First he’ll make some excuse about the safety of the other students, and then he’ll beg to keep his position on the school board.

P 2.5: “…I’m really, really angry about this…..maybe you should stop by my place later so we can discuss this in more detail, Marjie…”

This guy is running an internet betting site, right in the open. He calls Vito in Goshen, and they adjust the line. Vito thought he was paying that lush Moon for this inside info on the team. They made a fortune with Tru, but found this Chance kid is, er, fragile.

I’m disappointed no one has commented on the crossing sign in McManbun’s cube. Not sure what that’s supposed to be. A Yeti with some sort of hook appendage?

Wow, ace reporter Marjie rolls the next source by claiming to have “confirmed” that Ballard accessed Macy’s records on the basis of one conversation. Well, tech guy is going to see that Chet foolishly signed in as himself.

Tomorrow, the entire Blog membership beats Charlie to a pulp. We could have saved weeks if you had only called that $*&^ “Dad”.

Why is Bob Dole asking Techie McManbun to give him a name? In P2 he said his name was Appalled. And speaking of appalled, I’m appalled that some of you thought Mopped Up Thorp was going off the rails. Well, on second thought, maybe you’ve got a case:

I just discovered that the strips post earlier on the Arizona Republic site.

Okay, the manbun confirms that these GT strips are current
