Yet another day of suspense – is his Mom named Molly?

No aaassists?

It was a triple double — 22 points, 13 rebounds and 10 Mollies.

Now, when will Molly show up from the stands?

Panel 1: Sonic the Hedgehog!!

What’s with the spectator in p1, the kid with two fists in the air? The game is a blowout. No one would be that excited.

P. 3 And a bad haircut!

I’m glad for Mop Man that the ants are back. They’re not just at Milford anymore. Too bad they’ve infested A Quad’s head.

Marty looks relatively clear-eyed and sober in P2. What the hell is he on?!? Must have left his sippy cup at home.

If A Quad isn’t on drugs he might get suspended anyway for not wearing the required Milford wrist bands.

Speaking of bad haircuts, hello Marty. Even without Mop’s touch up work in MUT, Moonpies eyes look like an Atlas Road Map. It would be epic if MUT showed snooty Marty in an ascot enjoying his Buddy Weiser.

Molly is his car? kid?

P-1: Aaaa catches a button hook paass for a first down. P-2: In Toronto Marty says it’s a Yuge game. P-3: Must be a huge bench with 22 points, 13 rebounds, and AQuad all finding seats. I guess if Milford had 36 players on the floor Tilden would have a hard time.

Nice of the coach to sit him down after a double shoulder dislocation makes it impossible to put his arms down

Well I guess that performance proved, um, who the hell knows. We’ll have to wait a couple more days before we get the logical explanation for his behavior. And by logical I mean illogical. And speaking of logic, not much of it can be found in Mopped Up Thorp, as regular readers are well aware by now.

Once again MUT makes me notice a detail I missed. It looks like he’s fighting against the ball in panel one to keep it from eating his head off. The only conclusion is that it’s really an alien shaped as a ball aataacking our hero AAron ‘The AArdvAArk’ AAgAAAd.

You know I never realized aardvark and ants when I typed that.
