I guess Jarod’s blond hair was not a Sunday coloring glitch. Has any football coach, fictitious or real, engendered less respect than Bull? A real coach would put in the time to help his new QB (especially one that’s never played the game) master the playbook. Instead, Bull offhandedly asks Jarod is he’s “been absorbing the game plan.” Like, by osmosis? Jarod trudges on by, offering a cryptic reply over his shoulder, while his coach gazes impassively.

No Kids on the Block
Query whether the lousy attitude displayed in today’s strip is a result of or the cause of the Scapegoats’ lousy record. Here at last is someone who can throw a football, and his teammates conspire to let him be injured? Thankfully, despite the fearsome SMASH! WHAM! CRUNCH! Jarod should emerge unscathed, as his scrawny tacklers appear to have a combined weight of a couple hundred pounds, tops.
He Went to Jarod
Big thanks to my right hand man David O for guest posting lo these last two weeks!
Although we’ve only just met him, it seems like “the sportos” are well acquainted with Jarod Posey. His arrival in uniform is greeted with disbelief and jeers. “Posey the Nosey”? Just because it rhymes, I guess; loners are typically more interested in securing their own privacy than violating others’. We’re given an inkling of Jarod’s tumultuous home life, as well as a look at his newly-blond, though still receding, hair.
The One
It would appear that Neo Jarod is able to throw a football tens and tens of feet and have it land somewhere near where he wants it to! From the look of Coach in
today’s strip, this is not a common occurrence. I’d be more impressed if Jarod wasn’t using some kind of a Dragonball Z powerup in panel 1 to get the job done.
Gross Anatomy
Whoa!
I know things get a bit rushed sometimes, what, with everyone’s busy schedule but what in the heck is going on with the human form in today’s strip?!
P1. Coach is literally as wide as he is tall. Jarod looks like he swallowed an ironing board while Wedgeman… whoa, dude, is your head even attached!?
P2. Wedgeman suddenly has the body of an 80 year old man while Coach’s legs deflate like two leaking innertubes as Jarod devolves even further…
P3. It’s the Geico Caveman!
