This game is historic for another reason: judging from the lighting/coloring of today's strip, this is the first high school football game played on the ocean floor. This is the most action-packed strip in awhile! Let's break it down:
- Panel one features not one but two disembodied heads!
- That's some gang-tackle in panel two: the Big Walnut Tech kid's head is at a very uncomfortable-looking angle. I'll give props where due, though: it's pretty well-drawn, even if a piling on like that is probably illegal in high school football. Number 32 still looks shaken up in the next panel as time runs out.
- Wow. Bull looks…he looks happy. Don't know why he's sticking his thumb in his chest…it wasn't his ass out there on the field. But hey, good for Bull. Good for the Consensus-Building Scapegoats. Something positive happened in this comic strip today. Mark the date well, snarkers. Mark it well.
I suppose this is the signal that the unfinished, going-nowhere-rapidly Wally, Red, and Lefty story has joined the ever-growing roster of unfinished, going-nowhere-rapidly stories…

Oh man, where to start. That would-be Marty Moon, apparently from tee-vee, is interviewing the AD after a victory by the football team of which Bullshait is not the coach, and what the hell is he doing that for… the coach, meanwhile, gets the traditional Westview tequila bath in the background. Bullshittika seems to be taking a lot of credit for an event wherein he was no more than a VIP spectator. Mr. Big Stuff chect-thumping rings hollow. And "twenty years" – come on – how long was that with all the time jumps and other weird temporal twists and turns that define "time" such as it is, in the Funkyverse.

Oh, come on! Who died and made Lisa Moore the official comic spokeperson for breast cancer!?
Still, I'd rather be underwater than in the pink "we just got nuked last week" haze that the Keene family is in!

A number of the funnies are colored pink today. It's part of a breast cancer awareness thing. Interestingly enough, Mr. Cancer Awareness himself eschewed the all-pink color scheme for his usual murky, over-halftoned Sunday palette.

I think Lisa Moore did.
but in all seriousness, i had the exact same reaction you did. Batiuk – the King of Kancer himself – is probably getting a boner over it all. He's like "oh please, EVERY day is breast cancer awareness day in MY comic. POSEURS."
which makes me want to smack him all the Moore.

Speaking of which…what time is it, boys and girls?
I'll give you a hint: My assessment that the Wally, Red, and Lefty triad has reached its unceremonious unending is correct…
