I like that vase in P3 with the picture of the peacock on it

They could have eaten next door, at Chang’s Haus of Wiener Schnitzel.

Get ready for the root beer getting spilled all over Lucky.

Looks like the waitress is serving big bowls of Lucky Charms with rainbows spouting from them.

“Schultz’s Polynesian Garden” has to be the only place in the country that serves root beer in pitchers.Cultural etiquette requires they all drink from the same tankard, passing it around the table. First one to get sick pays for the meal.

I think the waitress in P.3 is from St. Fabian.

JSusanWhiz thanks for pointing that out, you’re very observant.

If Lucky’s dad’s tie got any wider, it could double as a lobster bib. I hear the lobster hasenpfeffer at Schultz’s is to die for.

The Dad looks just like Robert Yeung!

Two black eyes, but dinner at the Polynesian Garden and an extra pitcher of root beer. Someone really is lucky. Stop the storyline now, because it can’t get any better than this.

Poi and root beer. Yum!

Since the weather is wintery, Lucky’s family will top off a perfect day by visiting The Speedco to gas up, get some beef jerky, slip to the car and thank their lucky stars all is well in Plesentville.

can’t remember ever seeing such wry, off-the-wall humor in this dead serious strip… neil rubin, what on earth is going on?

In all reality, I call Lucky loses his front teeth and Dad slips into his room while Lucky is sleeping and places a dollar from the tooth fairy under his pillow.

Today’s strip features the further adventures of Lucky and Bitsy!

Remember the chant when Dean Smith ran the “Four Corner Offense”? BORING! BORING! BORING! Where’s Dondi and his fast pitch mama? And the would be blond bottom feeder lawyer? Mimi, I pine for you.

What? They’re too good for Subwich?

and for desert we’ll go to the Dairy Prince for chocolate dipped cones. Geez Dad, you’re the ginchiest!

@HaveMopWillTravel Hraaaack!!

At Schultz’s, they know nothing….NO-THING!!

Had the 3-point line been implemented sooner it’s possible Michigan State could have won another title. (Who knows for sure of course.) In 1986 Scott Skiles was their leading scorer and he used to bomb in buckets from at least the NBA 3-point distance, but they were only worth 2 of course. That year they lost to the #1 seed in the Regional semis in part to a clock malfunction that prolonged the game by well over a minute. They lost in overtime instead of most likely holding on in regulation.However many points Skiles scored in his career, he probably would have averaged at least 3 more per game with the 3-point line.

Imagine how many more points Pistol Pete and Austin Carr would have scored with the three point shot.
