…Is TB gearing up to tread on Pat Summitt’s turf with his craporiffic “storytelling”?
A tip of the SoSF tinfoil hat to The Ridger for that very prescient comment from over two months ago! Today’s strip is also notable in that the girls’ roster has expanded from seven to eleven or twelve (the girl to Bull’s right wears a shirt with no number and might be the equipment manager).
Don’t forget to check out TB’s latest blog post on the official FW site!
Today’s comic is much more entertaining when reimagined as a Sunday strip:
Today’s strip, I guess, is for the benefit of those who don’t pick up a newspaper on Saturday or Sunday. Hence, TB hastily whips up a couple more generic Channel One reporters to provide a “wrapup”. Apparently the lady reporter was a forceps baby, judging from her distorted head, while the male reporter—Westview really does need its own Marty Moon—sports an intriguing pinky ring. He also calls the AnnieGoats “the state division one champions”, although the trophy seen in Sunday’s strip clearly says “Division III”. Just sayin’.
I would’ve welcomed a “Sundays with Crazy Harry” strip here, but I suppose TB’s gotta let the Sunday-only readers revel in the Westview girls’ triumph. Fishstick Annie cuts down the net— jeez, somebody hold that ladder! And the gray-jacketed OSHAA guy (they all wear gray jackets) passes out the Ohio-shaped medallions (round on both ends and “hi” in the middle!). Superstar Summer and Second Fiddle Keisha pass out the hugs to the nameless scrubs. The rather cheap looking trophy is hoisted, Stephen Hawking Annie admires her medallion, and Channel One is on the scene to record Bull spouting his idiocy.

Yeah…that’s coming…

…I suspect that in the next couple of days Summer will be sealing the championship with a “Walk Off Free Throw”.

…Look at the trajectory and spin on that ball, and tell me it’s not headed over the backboard under realistic circumstances.

…I get the sinking feeling that tomorrow we’re going to see the spirit of the Blessed Saint Lisa guiding the ball into the net on the rebound in defiance of all probability and physics.
TB apparently understands physics about as well as he understands the traveling rule. It could only be the Hand of St. Lisa reaching down today to guide the errant shot through the hoop (hence the incredulous expression on the face of Cedars #3).

…A big deal was made that there were 12 seconds on the clock when St. Summer made her dive at the ball, so there has to be at least 8 seconds on the clock. More then enough time for the other team, so it’s not a “walk-of free throw.”
True enough, but you didn’t want to see the inevitable postponed for another week, did you? Didn’t think so. It’s over, Westview wins; big girl Brandy Bowles skulks away dejectedly. On to the pizza party and the Kili climb…
