I don’t even know where to start with today’s strip. What makes “everyone” so certain that tonight’s game is Westview’s for the taking, especially with the She-Goats coming off a loss? Is the other team even lousier? And Cayla’s newly acquired defeatist attitude persists: “The customer is always wrong.” Th’ hell? No, the customer is always right. Anyway, how does that even follow what Les just said? And what percentage of faithful FW readers are gonna get the reference to mythical Cassandra, who was granted the gift of prophecy by the god Apollo? Les should have gone with “Meet my fiancee, the Amazing fucking Kreskin.”

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*.

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?
Halftime No-Show
OK, so I understand that “real world” schools have been cutting sports programs for lack of funds — but wouldn’t Westview at least wait until the next school year to make the cut? Instead, everything is “cancelled as of this week“, giving Big Walnut Tech an even easier than usual win over the ‘Goats. Of course Becky, just like her mentor Harry Dinkle, cares only about how this affects the band.
That's Good. No, That's Bad.
Nice jacket, Bull; did they have it in your size? The bad news comes even faster and furiouser than usual: the Westview schools have sacrificed the sports programs in the name of austerity. I thought this seemed a bit extreme, but a bit of Googling reveals that this is in fact Something That Happens; art and music programs are made to suffer as well. It’s enough to make little lines fly out from your head. Right, Linda?
