You know that lawyer snickers to himself every time he says “Mister Bader”. Or maybe he’s more mature than that.

Thankfully, the second P2 word box obscures Master Bader’s hand …

Uh, True, isn’t that up to her parents?

2 observations…1. Del Bader looks like a psycotic And aged Jerry Mathers aka The Beaver.2. Hopefully Tru has yet to report to Wake Forrest!Just Asking?

Free Fist Pump Man! No justice, no peace!

In all reality , too bad True lost his right hand in a tragic summer school shop accident .

Also, in all reality , Mr and Mrs Reality are leaving to visit Copenhagen then get on a Trans Atlantic Voyage of the Vikings cruise . We will port in Greenland,Iceland, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia arriving back in New York City after Labor Day. Have a great end of Summer .

P1, Del, finally realizing he’s actually in trouble and will soon end up being somebody’s wife.

P2, Why so glum Young Master Bader, Dustin Pedroia had another 5 hit game Sunday.

Nice to see Art make an appearance although he seems a little overdressed to be playing catch. Must be a big Vince Lombardi fan. This may be as close as Tru(e) gets to playing football this year. Wake’s opening game is September 1st.

Oh, and Tru(e), this whole strip has become a memorial to Boo.

You know what else is frustrating True? Being stuck in this Milfordian Time Warp and nothing to dance to. Just ask Tim Curry.

Got to go with the classic: a pile of stuffed teddy bears and a handmade cross on the side of the road.

The only appropriate memorial tribute coming from Tru(e) would be to organize an annual bike ride to Hawaii for the Milford athletes. Make it a fundraiser for the Boo Radley beauty school scholarship.

Tru settles on a pair of lips tattooed to his tush. It catches her attitude toward the rest of the world.

P-1: Mr.Bader practices his “remorseful” look.P-2: Barry studies film to improve his “technique”.P-3: Baseball has ended Tru’s future. You’re supposed to plant and throw off your back leg, buddy.

Something tasteful (by Milford standards), like a shrine of flattened bread and milk cartons in the Swifti Mart parking lot.

P1 – “Sorry you got that 40 minutes of screaming abuse from Bitsy, but I warned you not to mention that it’s mid-August and Milford’s spring sports still haven’t ended.”P2 – I can’t top Ravenswing’s comment.P3 – Is Stubby Tru(e)‘s dad a giant? They are the same height, but since he’s in the distance that would mean he would be significantly larger if he stood next to StubbyTru(e).And speaking of significantly larger, your amusement level will be significantly larger if you read today’s Mopped Up Thorp. Ugh, that was bad.

Day 130 of this story arc: All hope for a quick rescue has been exhausted. Supplies are running low. We are forced to take desperate measures to ensure our survival. The only thing that keeps us going is the alternative commentary on Mopped Up Thorp.

Fortunately, Tru has insurance through All Stte, the good hands people. This PSA brought to you by your forgotten friends at the Copyright Cafe.

@Ellisburkes: so you don’t like frozen food?

Maybe Tru will be the QB version of Jim Abbot.

P-2: another oldie for MB: Dream on, Master Bader dream o-o-o-o-on. Dream about a two hit game, dream the girls don’t find you lame. Dream on, Master Bader dream on.
