Christ, today he is on a shrink’s couch talking about the aftermath years later. He’s been tortured for years in a single day’s strip.

Detroit slang for “gonorrhea.”
I thought that was clappy winkerbean.
Incidentally, one of my nephews attended the school at which Tom occasionally taught even after becoming a successful cartoonist. Batiuk felt that periodically immersing himself in the teenage milieu was one way to keep himself, and thus his strips (he also created John Darling and Crankshaft), “real”.
Thanks, Sternvogel.
Here’s an updated view of the characters. Looks like Les has gotten himself a second wife and a stepdaughter.
I don’t think so. I think the overweight blond is Crazy’s wife and the teenaged girl with the baseball cap is hers and Crazy’s.
