Upside Yo' Head

I was a band geek in high school, not a jock, so I have to ask: do high school athletes wear uniforms at practice? “Uniform” in the adjective, meaning “identical or consistent; without variations in detail”. Because I’m looking at four teammates wearing four different outfits. From left to right: Earl Tatum sports a softball jersey; Ponytail Chick is in red; Summer opts for a plain white tee; and Kei$ha actually wears a basketball singlet.

I guess the kids still say “chill”, but what person under 50 70 uses “needle” as a verb? And what human being of any age would speak that line in panel 2?

The Sports is Saved

I have no idea why everyone had to leave the country club and travel to Montoni’s, in sleeting weather no less, to tally up the take from the “Save the Sports” raffle. To the astonishment of no one who reads this blog, the fundraiser was a huge success. Future prom couple Summer and Keisha throw discretion to the wind and use the occasion to engage in a PDA*.

Quota-Bull

Screw football, boy’s basketball, and all other Westview sports: everybody knows that the Lady Scapegoats basketball team reigns above all other sports teams, thanks of course to Summer “Specialest Snowflake” Moore. Whatever will capture the imagination of the Westviewvians now that there’s no more girls’ hoops?

Re: panel 3: “You can stack the deck all you want…but chance gets the last deal.” I thought the whole point of “stacking the deck” was to eliminate chance. Maybe TB is really just tipping the Funky fedora to his fellow cartoonist Chance Browne?
