So Mr. Hoo went into the sauna, but he says he’s innocent. I don’t understand what going into the sauna has to do with being innocent, if anything. How does she know that? Or is she his lawyer?
By the way, he was introduced as Hoo-jin Sen. Most Koreans have a one-syllable family name, followed by a two syllable given name. I think the hyphen was probably in the wrong place when he was introduced, given that we now know that “Hoo” is is family name. (Is he on first base?)
I’m assuming the woman is Hoo’s interpreter (all Major League Baseball teams have them for players who are originally from overseas). My 2 questions are 1 why Hoo is still wearing a towel even though at this point it’s several hours after the killing when we was supposedly in the sauna (& yesterday’s strip had him wearing pants when he discovered the body) & 2 if Hoo really does not speak English, how does he know Simpson was calling him bigoted names?
Interpreter sounds about right for what she is doing with ‘Ginseng’. I just know the court will be pleased with her proclamation (plea ?) of innocence for our man whose name resembles a certain herb.
“*Why do Chinese want ginseng?*
Ginseng has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to boost immunity and lower blood sugar, but recent research suggests a new reason to consume the plant: to perk up, quite literally, a man’s sex life."
Very interesting definition of Gweedo’s name from the Urban Dictionary. I didn’t make this up! I kid you not!
GWEEDO
typically from new jersey, an italian who commonly uses way too much hair gel and has many homosexual tendancies, even though they pronounce themselves straight. commonly found in clubs and bars surrounded by gross easy chicks.
Look, this may be a “Minit Mystery,” but do we have time to spend a whole strip on some Grade A Wholly Innocent (change this later if necessary –Eds) Beefcake? Yes, yes we do.
I missed comments from the previous days.. Blood splatter from previous strip stated the blood splatter went from left to right, indicating that whoever swung the bat was a lefty. Hoo is the only left-handed person we’ve confirmed so far. Wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to take a quick shower then hop in the sauna to get any blood splatter off yourself, and that would also explain the blood on a wet towel.
Too convenient. Are they being overly liberal with their red herrings?
1-ANGIE ESQUIRE: Hoo here is innocent! DT: Who are you???
2-ANGIE: I’m Hoo’s Agent and Attorney and if you must know – his lover.DT: I didn’t need to know that..3-ANGIE: ANYWAY, he’s innocent I tell ya! The only times he ever uses a bat is on a baseball and in my bedroom! And for the record, the latter is a different kind of bat if you must know.
DT: I ESPECIALLY didn’t need to know that. That said, it does correct an incorrect notion I had of the abilities of Asian “bedroom bats”. HOO knew? ANGIE: Don’t start that crapola again.
Which is this assertive young woman, interpreter or lawyer? At first I thought “lawyer,” and her brassy demeanor seems to suggest that. But on further reflection and taking into account comments offered above, I in the end lean towards “interpreter,” though without certainty. Either way, she tries to present Hoo-jin Sen (or, as Neil Wick cogently argues above, Hoo Jin-sen) in a positive light, which he seems to relish. Four days of MM left; what further evidence/alibis will we get?

Does she know that because SHE killed him?

I do hate to complain, but she seems to have just popped up from thin air. It would be nice if we were told who she is and what’s she doing there.

Hoo did it.
He may have been in the sauna, but his hair on the 9/4 panel says he wasn’t in there very long.
Anyone who has spent time in a sauna knows the first thing that happens is your hairdo falls apart.
