So which is it, Thud or Whud?

Nyur puhllin’ muh lg.

I have WHUD! I knew yesterday that was a WHUD shot not a THUD.

Menzie Unchained! Sure hope Bacon brought plenty of cash. He’ll need it to bail out his Tru(E) love. and he should feel great about having his girlfriend come to the rescue. I’m sure he won’t hear about it for the rest of this overly long season every time the team has an away game.

Yesterday, in the color version, the less than mysterious elbow was encased in a red sleeve with black stripes. Today (Surprise, it’s Menzie) she’s in a blue jacket. She must have done this before since she knows how to dodge the police. And lucky for her, this strip is set in the 50’s. She’d be caught for sure nowadays with all of the cameras everywhere.

P2 & P3- Litter! Tear! With the cider jokes, I considered the old Bob & Tom bit about Anita Dicken. Instead, here’s this powerful message.

In all reality, Kenzie won’t be charged with anything , her defense — Basketball players lives matter !

Definitely something frightening, yet oddly tantalizing and alluring about this lady. I see a great future in professional wrestling.

Dammit, Kenzie! Fist Pump Man and his brother were about to resolve the situation peacefully in P1.

She broke his jaw? Thus ends her basketball career at Milford. Mimi won’t like having to come into school tomorrow and having to give Pedro another day off.P3 – I like how the bully is crying, just like the bully in A Christmas Story after Ralphie goes wild on him. And speaking of crying, you’ll be crying if you forget to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Kenzie is her real name, Menzie is what I’ve been calling her. Just like Tru(e) isn’t the character’s real name in the strip. :)

The backwards baseball cap (which she must have snatched off someone’s head) is a nice “@#%&‘s gettin’ real” touch. Unfortunately that mean she’ll probably be charged with theft as well as assault.

Isn’t a former Milford lineman now a doctor in Central City? I believe he gives the Mudlark football teams their annual physical exams at a discount. He can probably fix the broken jaw and agree to write it up as an accident. (“Slipped on spilled cider.”) If Menzie does get hauled up on charges, her defense will be that she’s a rugby player. Reflex action! Meanwhile, Maxwell’s manhood has been so shamed that he will shrivel up like a strip of overcooked bacon.

Elbows Up! Can’t Shoot! Bad lines matter!

@ Bearwku82: please stop, you’re breaking my heart. If I were going Bob and Tom I’d use the late Tim Wilson’s Church League, Softball, Fistfight.

I’m relieved it was K. Imagine introducing an Lysl terrorist.

See todays’ “PEANUT’s”. Kenzie/Menzie’s role model is revealed.

Can’t quite figure out Kenzie’s apparel. Is she tucking her jacket into her pants? Wearing a snowsuit or an Olympic skiing outfit?

They couldn’t survive as Comics Nazis. We’re the ones keeping them employed. It’s as stupid as thinking a business would go completely AI. If no one has a job, no one could buy the product.
