Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for November 10, 1972
Transcript:
Zonker: O.K., next question, cap'n. Would you say you are "up" for the game tomorrow? B.D.: Freak, I can already see tomorrow's contest in my mind's eye. Our team will line up, sun reflecting from our helmets, and then, with the whistle, the struggle is on! Man, it's exciting! I can't tell you what it does to me! Just to hear the loud rejoinder of man hitting man! -Even the crack of a small bone once and a while just thrills me to pieces! Zonker: You're "up."
