Three identical panels today, save for eyes, mouths, shirt wrinkles, and background randos. Oh, and those word balloons, which is what we probably should focus on.
Isn’t it funny how Gil never seems to get bothered when his older child pulls some stunt? Isn’t it funnier that Milford High hasn’t had a walkout before this? Not even during the ‘Nam or any of our other little excursions? (That’s my signal to the hive mind to hit the archives.)
Then we come to Ochoa. Is she pulling another retcon, like the time she forgot that she got into a fight with Gil as a student? In making the leap from supersoph hoopster to fully grown lesbian coach, she got a lot of informed backstory. She also got a lotta nerve. I reckon it’s okay to insult your co-worker in front of your boss as long as it’s in a language that’s different from your boss’s first language, n’est-ce pas, salope?
As for that co-worker, someone needs to check his motivation. Luke “No-Neck” Martinez echoes the law-and-order party line. Easy for him to do: he’s got a pity job from his boss and his wife’s a highly successful cardiac surgeon. This practically makes him the Establishment. Of course he’s big on pulling the ladder up behind him. Given that ICE goes after anyone darker than Gil and with the barest hint of a Latino name, both he and Ochoa need to keep their heads on a swivel.
