So apparently the paper dolls at Milford are going to devote quite a bit of time justifying their cowardice (the word “liable” was a tip-off regarding the reason). So what if a student cripples or maims another student with his bare hands? Does Milford immediately line up all students and chop off all the hands just to protect themselves. Faugh!
Thanks to Don and GilPa for saving everyone from this terrorist. Hey Don have your wife show you how to tie a tie. Oh, and take out the pocket protector you dweeb!!!
Gil once again showing his coaching prowess. He knows he can pull a kid out of the stands and use him as a pinch-hitter. The rubes from Goshen won’t figure it out, particularly after the Mayor flashes the butter-shiv to the catcher. State Champion!
P2.5: “Now batting, Mr. Deep Six”. P4: “Sir, please step away from that bat.” P5: Both teams’ entire bat racks confiscated. P6: Fully loaded team buses from all schools arrive at Valley Modified. P7: Riot in Cell Block No. 9.
He couldn’t have hurt anyone with a butter knife, especially if you had taken it from him. And P.S. School administrators, a pencil or pen can stab as effectively as a knife!
“Mike is a good kid, but I can’t read minds.” Since when did you have to read his mind? The mayor blurts all all the nonsense that crosses his mind, even when he’s supposed to shut up.
“…once I saw the knife I knew I had to pull my MAC-11 out of my lunch box and take out the few literate ones that may see this strip. Little heathens aren’t going to be trilling “Foster” to me anymore, are they Gil? Keep that conscience crap to yourself, I’m going hunting with Mark Trail."
If they wanted to make it straight forward it should have been a sharp pointed knife with a wooden handle or something, that might have been used to split a bagel. Don’t they have table knives in the cafeteria?
I hope the authors are using this story line to highlight stupidity in school administration rules. If they are using this story to excuse the stupidity than it is just stupidity by the artists.
P1 – “Once I saw the knife, I knew what I had to do. Ignore it, wait until school was over, then pose a ‘hypothetical’ situation to Dr. Pearl and let it leak out that The Mayor has a knife. Yep, that’s why they call me Mr. Take Charge!”
And speaking of taking charge, Mopped Up Thorp doesn’t take charge cards, but feel free to leave cash in the Janitor’s Closet anytime.
I assumed Mayor McCheese showed up at the game to watch his former teammates play. And one of them is saying, “join us!” But then there are girls in the stands(?) in uniform. Is that the visitor’s dugout, in the stands? Right next to the stands but also elevated? If that is a girl telling him to get down here, that makes less sense. Why, because she wants him to play in the softball game? Confused.

It’s a butter spreader, not a knife. Any sophomore debater knows if you win the definitions, you win the debate!

In all reality , Gil faces a revolt of his team as they call The Mayor out of the stands to sit on the bench with them .

P1, Mike is a pain in the azz and once I saw the knife I knew I’d finally be rid of him.
P2, Well, you’re liable, Don, me, I know nothing.
P3, Number 6 breaks out his cricket bat to welcome The Mayor.

I’ve seen this before, you know , flash forward 2 weeks where nothing has happened. No play downs, no 2nd place finish. Let’s get to MCC soon.

Is the alternative school that close to Goshen Stadium?They should probably fix that hole in the fence.

And Gil’s statement in the second panel is exactly why we are stuck with asinine rules like this.
