C’mon, you remember that rally in the town square two years ago when the girls basketball team made it to the state finals, right? What? They didn’t make it to the finals two years ago? They lost their last game to Big Walnut Tech? Oh. Well, surely you knew that Funky was president of the Westview Chamber of Commerce? You had no idea? Don’t feel bad; neither did two of his closest friends.

We Have Heard the Chimes at Midnight
That Shakespeare Halloween costume must have gone to Les’ head. Did he really expect Bull to pick up on a quotation from Henry IV Part II?
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?
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?
