    .Is there a hippo cult emerging here?

    The last three stanzas, out of nine, in T. S. Eliot’s The Hippopotamus.

    I saw the ’potamus take wing

    Ascending from the damp savannas,And quiring angels round him sing

    The praise of God, in loud hosannas.

    Blood of the Lamb shall wash him clean

    And him shall heavenly arms enfold,

    Among the saints he shall be seen

    Performing on a harp of gold.

    He shall be washed as white as snow,

    By all the martyr’d virgins kist,

    While the True Church remains below

    Wrapt in the old miasmal mist.

    P1, So now it’s a flying hippo?

    P2, Why are there mattresses leaning on the backstop?

    P3, #20 appears to be on third base which makes me wonder just what the hell #17 is doing unless she’s a pinch runner.

    It wasn’t the Hippo. It all started when Carla ripped one!

    “Hippo Hippo Hooray”??

    And in panel three we finally get to see what one of the aliens looks like in ‘broad’ daylight no less. From the looks of things they’re from the planet Toucan.

    I imagine it went something like this:

    Rubin®: how about we do a story that focuses on the girls softball team?Whigham (W): sure, sounds good. How should we proceed?R: Let’s develop a new character who’s a little snarky and then build on that with each girl on the team having a special outside interest, putting the main focus on one that is into stuffed animals, but not teddy build-a-bears or dogs, but toy hipposW: Toy hippos? You’re a genius! I love it! It has so much potential and really hits at modern teen issues!

    Is P1 supposed to be some kind of Rorschach test or did the printer simply spill some ink on the panel?

    We need more testing. Are they now winning because of the hippo or because of the flab grab? And speaking of grabs, grab the latest installment of Mopped Up Thorp right here: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
