Strange Brew by John Deering for April 28, 2023

Is this a reference to the 28yo teacher who choked and died on a hot dog at a Cubs game at Wrigley field on 11/20/2015 during the National Anthem?

Or maybe their standing in the MLB race??!!!

My first thought was “choking up on the bat.”

Oh. A bit hurtful.

Our neighbors are Virginia Tech alumni. They sometimes refer to their alma mata as “The Chokies.”

He’ll have the table next to the Toronto Maple Leafs

As long as I’m not seated next to a knuckle head, anywhere is fine!

I can’t believe it. It’s not even May yet. Chocking doesn’t usually come until June.

He’s gonna order sliders once he gets to the plate.

Deering did this years ago. I have an old copy tacked up on my cork board.

I got lucky one year other than that it applies
