I guess Pop Haskins is supposed to be putting his money back in his wallet after they told him his dinner would be comped. I hope the Haskinses have some root beer at home for Mom to wash down her egg rolls.
Seems like Pop would have known the meal was free before he got near getting his money out.How did the restaurant know Mom would be waiting at home?Lucky, you still have to get your clothes washed and dried, at least dried.Will Lucky drop the bag before it breaks open?
I know tips were discussed yesterday, but………We don’t go out to eat very often, but when we do the wait staff are sometimes former or current students of mine. I know they’re trying to earn some extra money or trying to keep themselves going while they attend university, so I always tip even if the service is only average. Those of us fortunate enough to be in full time employment should help those who aren’t.
In all reality, Pop picked another patrons pocket on the way out and is taking the cash from their wallet. Good thing Lucky has read Mop s alternative strip and learned how I jump up on car hoods when about to get hit by a car. He s about to dump the take out on his head and walk into the path of a speeding car driven by BITSY TWILL !
P2- Whose that next to The Luckster with the 1981 punk rocker hairdo, wear the matching smily pants not smiling? Cuttersjock is pining for Mrs. Lark. Curious to meet Mrs. Haskins.
Meanwhile, in P3, Lucky channels Leonardo DiCaprio from “Titanic” to exclaim to everyone, “I’m the king of the world.” (with free dinner, sticky hair, and take-out egg rolls as an exclamation point)
Lucky will probably attempt to serve his mother her food and dump it in her lap. BTW, Gil is AWOL again – anybody keeping track of how many days it’s been?
Pops is paying Amy off for the Root Beer gag. When she sees that wad of ones, he’s hoping she’s “working her way through school”. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink
After yesterday’s marathon design session, I went simple today just like the mentality of the real strip. Can we get some actual baseball now? Sorry Bitsy you’re out of Mopped Up Thorp, at least for now.
That’s clearly a bowl-cut hair style for Lucky in panel 3. other that or he forgot to ask for a dry towel after using wet towels on his wet head. Sheesh.

I am already hoping this guy gets a little chin music in the next game. Is it time for Moon to ask for the line-up card yet?

Perhaps he’s leaving a tip … and yes, she’d get one

If you look closely, that’s not cash in P1, it’s a copy of next week’s script.

I guess it could be said “If it weren’t for Bad Luck he’d have no Luck at all”

“Mom is at home” ………….. Don’t blame her for that. Would not want to go out with those three either.

Looks like they put a couple of teriyaki steaks on Lucky’s black eyes also. Fast healing.

@ MOP MAN
In all reality, as someone who has been hit by a car more than anyone in the alternative, I was just interjecting by own experiences in my post.
