    Have we finally established a story arc for the basketball season? Two dysfunctional coaches trying to help one another?

    Love, Respect or Fear…the only three motivators that work and usually two of the three are at work together.

    If Coach Nonads Gerads is the Goshen basketball coach, who’s supervising their practices while he attends BHHLHM’s School of Machismo? Only one who could help this comic character is Randy Savage.

    Uhm, if this is Coaching 101-Man Up(note Nonads sitting in a student desk ???), shouldn’t there be something on the poster-board to help hammer home the message ? Doesn’t sitting in an office having coffee like 2 grown-ups(alleged) make more sense ? But, alas, that would require better script writing. And that ain’t happenin’ here anytime soon.

    This train wreck is becoming more laughable by the day. The writer ought to consider a career in standup comedy.

    P4:

    Gonads: “Can I go home now? I need to go home and watch Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl.”

    Luke: [Slaps Gonads across the face] “PRO FOOTBALL IS WOKE! HEY, I’M CURED! GET OUT OF HERE, NANCY BOY! I’M OFF TO KILL GIL!”

    P-4: If it comes down to that, you can tell their parents on them.

    If this actually is a storyline and not just a 5-day non sequitur, we may find out that Gonads is suffering from PTSD because he saw the Zamboni fall through the ice last season as he snapped the team photo. “Say cheese [CRACK, SPLASH!]”

    P-1: Being a polite person, Henry posts a disclaimer on what you are about to read.

    P-2: IRONY WARNING: Man standing at 20th Century flip board, tells student, sitting at school desk, that the desk occupier is the authority figure.

    P-3: Hey everybody, they put a personification of the blog right in the strip.

    I am 5’8". I had a successful career as a police officer. It’s all about attitude and presence. And if they get me, they have to contend with my brothers (and sisters.) This guy should have jammed that kid up from the time it happened.

    Dude they suckered him in the gut. He’s a normal guy physically, you have abs for days. This goes beyond respect and into reporting them for assault

    I think Kenny G fell asleep in P2, and was startled awake in P3. Embarrassing when you only have one student and you can’t keep them awake. And speaking of awake, while you’re still awake, you should check out today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
