P1: Good film noir shot from below the chin, in keeping with the gritty street-level reality of tha storyline.
P2: While we’re talking, do you mind if I practice my hand shadow puppets?
P3: The happy little tree’s top branch extends above the frame of the window or the painting, whichever it is. The drapes suggest window but it could be a museum drape used to dramatically reveal a painting.
In all reality , we all know that Alexa will come in and tell Gil that Chris told her that Teddy offered him a copy of the test and agrue that if Chris was going to use it why would Chris tell her. Using Hadley as his attorney Chris will sun Teddy for defamation and baseball will start soon. Don’t forget to wash your hands.
P4- Keep digging? This isn’t “Gold Rush” GilPa. Tony Beets ins’t gonna coming through Dr. Pearl’s door. In the current worldwide epidemic, scrubbing up is the answer.
“I agree. Being in possession of an old AP exam is a serious offense. We should expel Teddy!” “What? No, who cares about that. All we care about is if he made wild, unproven claims. Those we accept as fact.”
Oh, and when you have serious cheating allegations about your potential valedictorian, do what any reputable school would do. Have your Athletic Director investigate it because, after all, that is totally under the athletics department’s responsibilities.
P 1.5: " you’re right coach…this is serious…for you, for Teddy, and for anyone else making this accusation…my parents and their attorney are headed down here right now to straighten this out….you better hope that you have more evidence than this idiot’s accusation… I don’t want to say were gonna’ sue, but you never know…"………nah, this is Milford…that won’t happen, sadly
This story line is too effin’ stupid to be believed. It’s like R&W started painting the floor at the doorway and have managed to back themselves into a corner with no way out.
And I had to cancel my spring training trip due to covid-19 fears. Judging by the progress in this strip it will be months before I get my baseball fix.
First remember Teddy is a Trouble Maker who just gets off making misery for others. Second why hasn’t Teddy been hauled up in front of Dr. Pearl and asked how HE had this test? Finally if I were the Administration I would delay Mid-Terms for a week and write a new test.
Gil morphs into The Gilfather, looking heavenward for a sign and wondering why the hell he always has to right these wrongs. He flashes back to Summer at MCC, pitchers of Countrytime Lemonade and little Kaylie still addressing the ball at the practice range. She has probably turned into a feral animal by now.
NOOOOOOO! Chris is hurting his case. Gil has to suspect he’s lying. After seeing Chris shoot a basketball, he knows it is very unlikely he banked a crumpled up test into the trash can on the first try.
And speaking of banking, you can bank on today’s Mopped Up Thorp being a winner.

I need to check the colour version to see if that is, in fact, the Red Skull in P3.

Egad, looks like they brought Dr. Pearl in from her crypt…man, has she decomposed from the last time we saw her.

P1, Why is this serious? It’s. Last. Years. Test!
P2, Chris demonstrates his technique to the coach. Soon the coach will demonstrate his loofa technique to Chris.
P3, I know, like Mary Worth, I’ll keep meddling.

So, what we have is one kid accusing another of something.
I must be an old guy; for some reason I think you should be innocent until proven guilty.
(His accuser isn’t female, so we don’t have to Just Believe™, do we?)

I’d still like to know why Teddy isn’t being punished for trying give away an old test paper that he obviously stole.

Teddy needs a new nickname. The Beaver? Weasel?

Scholarships? All these people are too dumb to graduate, much less win scholarships. Especially the teachers.

Why not design a new test- too much to ask for I guess. The last time it was updated was when they converted quantifying mass from stones to pounds.

Dr. Pearl, age 85 or so, comes out of her coma to offer valuable insight.

Unless I missed it, he hasn’t even taken the test yet this year. So what the heck is the problem? No evidence of questionable results yet.

Even if they find the old test crumpled in the trash, it wouldn’t prove he didn’t look at it first!

Any consequence to the guy who stole the test in the first place? And one should be innocent till proven guilty.
