Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
StillDeMain Looks to be removed from all this who killed Vern kerfluffle. Unless he is a closet psycho he appears to go his own way. (But itâs always the quiet ones, ay ?)
ell, of the 4 suspects so far, 2 appear to be right handed, 2 appear to be left handed, & Simpson was killed with blows to his right side. Also, of the 4, only Demain wasnât given a personal reason for hating Simpson, maybe weâll learn Simpson said something bad about Nuremoh or about Demainâs âhero worshipâ of Nuermoh. Simpson seems to have had every other prejudice in the book.
In an almost surprise twist it will turn out to be the manager, who is suggesting other possible suspects, is the killer. Like everyone else he hated olâ Vern and the damage he was doing to the teamâs morale, but the owner liked Vern and ordered the manager to keep him.
Specifically mentioned that Demain is a leftyâŚ.sounds rather peculiar doesnt it? Why wouldnât he just say âour closerâ instead of âour lefty closerââŚIâve already deduced that the killer is a lefty, and this odd denomination from the coach points to the closer⌠now we just need a motiveâŚwhich Iâm speculating to be the victim spouted derogatory comments about nuremoh and it set off demain⌠a âcrime of passionâ to be sure, but still a crimeâŚand the closer gets to spend time âin the penâ
Vernon seems like he was a real piece of work! Hoo-Jin also appears to have had a very legitimate beef with Vernon â Iâm looking forward to finding out how Philsâ hero worship is a beef between himself and Vernon! BUT ALSO! That bobblehead of Edward is ADORABLE!!
And the entrance of Edward Nuremoh,Tessâ former husband(if only briefly) brings a new angle into this. In the 1939 story, he was unmasked as a murderer BECAUSE HE WAS LEFT HANDED!!
He only played one season in the bigs(although he hit .350) so the hero worship has to come from someplace besides statistics.And that ainât good.
And if the real Nuremoh had lived to serve time, that harridan Mother of his should have split it 50-50 with him.
1-SAM: Good. Weâll look into Nichevo and Watt. POPS: WAIT! Thereâs more! SAM: GreatâŚ
2-POPS: The Korean first baseman didnât like Vernâs pickoff throws because the ball was always covered in spit. Vern loved throwing the spitterâŚ
3-âŚAnd our lefty closer worshipped Ed Nuremoh. SAM: So what? POPS: So, thatâs someone else you can look into before you figure out it mustâve been me. SAM: Yeah. OK.
Now weâve got two left-handed prospects (so to speak). Hoo-jin Sen, the Korean first baseman, is shown left-handed in panel 2 and was the target of (if we may deduce Managerâs meaning) ethnic slurs by âgood olâ Vern,â while lefty closer (rara avis in terra) Phil Demain is an ardent fan of Ed Nuremoh, which Manager implies is motive for disliking Simpson (who was not a fan?) and redrum.
Still more evidence is needed, but as of today Iâd bet the closer is the killer, if betting were legal in this sportâŚ.
A real collector would never use a historic relic from his collection as a murder weapon. Canât risk damaging it. So Iâm calling it impossible for Phil to be the killer. It wouldnât make sense.
Sense, of course, not being required in the strip. But we still have another week, which also suggests Phil is not the answer.

Good morningâ˘, everyone!
Two more suspects. Edward Nuremoh (âhomerunâ spelled backwards) was a character in a 1939 Dick Tracy story.
Brian Premium Member over 1 year ago
And, not unexpectedly, Hooâs on first.

Another day, two more suspects.
Neil must be ecstatic!
To repeat what I said yesterday,
ZZZzzzz
Snozefest territory!
Todayâs strip gets one goathead, only because itâs about baseball.

With the red cap, he must be North Korean so his dictator President Kim Jong Un ordered the hit !!!

Hoo seems to be the only left-hander. Also, âHooâs on first?â.

Is that supposed to be a bobblehead or a Funko Pop of Nuremoh?

Really enjoy the artwork. The coach reminds me of Wilford Brimley in the Natural.

Okay, letâs see, we got Hooâs on first, Wattâs on second, Tomorrow (Demain) pitching, and I Donât Care (Nichevo) is the shortstopâŚ
I have to admit, Eric Costello (!) is clever with the names here.
