Drabble by Kevin Fagan for October 07, 2021

Ready to rescind your invitation yet, Ralph?

Because they couldn’t possibly root for the same team.

Ralph misses another shot at an eye-to-eye moment.

The red team against the blue team? I didn’t know they had baseball on CSPAN.

Hat change in the last panel. I guess that’s called a hat trick. Snork.

The blue team beat the red team tonight!

Steinbauer actually has EYES under his HAT! WHAT THE?!

When he is wearing a hat, the neighbor reminds me of Andy Capp.

STEINBAUER HAS A FACE?!

Red Sox and Yankees?

That caps it!

You should have thought this out, Ralph!

Just like the Wilson neighbor in Home Improvement.

Good lord! We see Steinbauer’s eyes!I thought he got around using echolocation, like bats, or Beetle Bailey.

Ralph’s Dodgers beat Steinbauer’s Cardinals last night.

… But you don’t know which is my team

… But whatever it is, the other one will obliterate them

Based on the hat colors, Steinbauer was crying in his red bird soup.

Not off to the best of starts, are we?…….

Ralph Dodgers, Steinbauer Cardinals? Dodgers won! Next up… The hated Giants!

These cartoons are usually done well in advance but this was obviously referring to last night’s Dodgers-Cardinals game. The Drabbles live in LA and are often seen at Dodgers games. Don’t think they could get a special cartoon out by tomorrow but it would be nice to see Ralph rub it in Steinbauer’s face as the Dodgers won on a walk off home run in the bottom of the 9th inning.

I think Steinbauer looks better with his hat on.

What I don’t get is the Giants and Dodgers meeting in the first round. The Giants had 107 wins and the Dodgers had 106. Nevermind. The Giants finished first in the division and first overall in the league and the Dodgers finished second, but are considered 4th place because they did not win a division. Playoff seeding procedures in the NFL and NHL were reconsidered to avoid this craziness. Now the NBA needs to have the best 16 in the playoffs, not the best 8 per conference. If you are going to expand your playoffs to have 1/2 of the teams in the league participate, at least have the best 1/2. Geez, the CFL does this and they only have 9 teams when Ottawa is solvent.

Make sure he gets the chair with the spring pokin’ him in the butt.

Of course they dn’t see eye-to-eye when Steinbauer always has his covered.
