So would I, seeing as how something in the water (maybe) causes the females to break out with facial hair.

P2: CC … phone home. Doesn’t Phoebe look about 35 now?

P1, Corina obviously never saw the peacock story. Or any other story from this strip.

P2, You really are new here aren’t you Corina.

P3, Phoebe speaks for all of us as she puts on her googly eye glasses.

This story line is moronic!!! P3 Why is she wearing swimming googles???

“He was looking for a catcher with a moustache, and I thought of you!”

In all reality , the strange ways of the MilfordIans continue to baffle Corina a visitor from another planet .

She says, as she slips on her goo-goo eye goggles.

Hanging out with Phoebe is fattening. CK put on 40 pounds since the car ride yesterday.

I was thinking the same

Phoebe slips on her x-ray specs, then (P4) stares intensely at Corina’s chest protector.

Why not both?

Corina’s mother says, “my 16 year old daughter spending hours alone with a 22 year old pro athlete? Sure, what could go wrong? We’ll do it for 1% of your first big league contract”

P3: Excellent cue- I’ll listen to U2’s “The Fly”.

This is either the weirdest story or the dumbest….I’d go with the first one

Twainreader. That $5.75 special at the Diner must be full of protein and good fats. Chunky, err, Corina is bulking up as Heather Burns is spending her Summer in Milford, direct from Iowa City. Corina is learning the finer points of playing tight end. Coach Boonie can always use the depth.

P3: No spit, Sherlock

Phoebe must be an X-Men. Watch out she’s taking off her googles and is going to unleash her power.

Why does everyone in Milford wear something on their wrists? Bangles, watches, fitbits or elastic. I think the artist just likes to draw them.

So we’ve finally set up the inevitable meeting of Tru(e) and Russian Boo. Will True be a Lit. major grad, and moving beyond Harper Lee to Tolstoy? Will Corina’s nickname be “Anna?” Will they be able to fit the book into those mini-libraries? Will ’watha ever get his big mitt back?

This is a ‘45’ comic that reads on ‘33 1/3’. Or maybe even that ‘16’.

Corina was such a smart mouthed, sassy, rude you-know-what when she met Mayor McLame. Now she’s so dang mild and boring she may as well be teaching History at Milford. And speaking of you-know-what’s, you-know-what is waiting for you here:

(Spoiler alert, it’s Mopped Up Thorp.)

I’m surprised P3 gave nobody else the CSI intro feel. Immediately came to mind for me!

P3: check out my x-ray specs. I can see everybody’s underwear!

P3 seems to indicate P’s jealously that C will spend time with Tru.

P-3: Phoebe is from the Matrix. She puts those glasses on to see if CK is an Alien

Looks like True found the reincarnation of Boo Radley
