Abbott & Costello you ain’t
“I think you need a Cowboy in there.”
“Roger”
“Rodgers?”
“No, just the one, Staubach.”
And I don’t give a darn!
Abbott and Costello would be so jealous!
Classic yet Twisted Definitely LOL !
I must say, Mr Pastis sure works creatively…
Third down!
I don’t know.
He’s on third.
“I’m the Doctor”
“…who?”
“Yes”
A little early for the fantasy drafts Pastis though the true fantasy nerds really do their research year round to try and get an edge over most of us who start to take notes after the first pre-season game.
Not the first time Pastis has parodied this. Check out the strip from October 19, 2014.

Also this classic Johnny Carson skit.

Somehow I find it hard to believe that Pig is friends with Howie Long. Maybe it has something to do with football and pigskin.
And so Pig (unwittingly) defeats Rat.
Well watt d ya knows.
Finally, Pig got the best of Rat! Good one!
Pig rocks lately…
Okay, Rat got fried here… Wondering if fried rat tastes like ham… Or bacon…
ROFLOL
I believe I’ll take a poke at Pastis over this one!
Well done!
well, that was fun.
They were gonna do that gag at some point.
Neither is Dave,man…
Will Rat threatened Patti’s later?
Good Job
VERY CLEVER! Brought a big smile to my face!
Well done.
Very nice.
Oy! Rat and Pig can’t communicate today to save their souls….
Are you sure you want to draft YA Tittle? He died in 2017
Should have gone with T.J., J.J. is on the decline.
Best strip of 2022. Though I don’t know why Mahomes isn’t up there.
This is great!
Very poor attempt at honoring Abbott & Costello. Comes across as kinda an insult actually.
Well played sir

Best puns ever, Stephan! Kudos!
These two need to learn better communication skills. But at least it’s good to see Pig drive Rat up the wall like that, albeit without realizing it.
“B. A. Tittle” ?!
Third base.
BOOOO!
Very, very clever, Mr. Pastis!
Genius!
Who’s on first!
Yelberton Abraham, in case you wondered. Last 49er team I followed. Lifetime Bay Area resident.
I thought they live in the same house.
Real good one!!!!
Hahaha! This was hilarious. BTW, pre-season starts next Thursday. Not that anyone cares.
Hehehe. You’re great at finding new puns
Okay. Spin the wheel, or would you like to buy a vowel?

Alright, I am now talking to myself. You happy, Pastis?
No, but it funny!
Pannel 8, would that be How E. Long?
A-a-a-a-a-bbott!!!
And perfect employment of Rat’s and Pig’s personalities.
Well played Steph. Thanks.
Abbot and Costello did it way better.
HAH! That’s all I can say.
Sure am glad I didn’t have a mouthful of coffee when reading this — So very funny ♥ ROLMAO
Third Base!
Some of the players names are great. One of my all time favorites is Ha Ha Clinton Dicks. I dare you to make a pun about that one, Stephan.
Maybe he can Burrow a player from another team and in Cincinnati Master Bates has not signed his tender offer.
Nice to see my childhood favorite YA Tittle get a mention.
Best take on, ’who’s on first I ever seen. Using real people’s names. This comic is Brilliant. Love it!.
Minimalist background in today’s panels. It looks like Rat and Pig are in some weird afterlife.
OMG……best ever
But an homage is an homage!
This is why I read this comic before anything else.
Yes he is! Somewhere, A & C are smiling…..
nice one …
Still hilarious!
And remember…the mudder eats his fodder.
One of the best!
