G-O-A-T-S!

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.

Wally, War. War, Wally

Flat Tire sure has a way with people. Just six short panels ago, our little Rachel was perky, confident, smiling, hair nicely done. Now look at the sad, mopey eyed, frazzled- haired hag she’s become.

…and her decline continues for three panels more, while Becky, with Wally officially off her hands, uhh, hand, grows ever more chipper.
