    Ah, discovery (to use the literary phrase for revealing information to a reader). Some of the issues a student/faculty member might have are shown easily in the art. Cerebral palsy requires this last panel.

    Vic got the job because he can pronounce the names of the Ukrainian guys CK has recruited from Valley Correctional. CK told them they could smoke on the bench, and that was the clincher.

    P1- Vic’s pants expression looks like it’s exulting too as he celebrates with a Rocky pose. YO!!!

    P1, Vic better be careful on Mopman’s shiny floor.

    P2, As usual, Gil didn’t have to do a damn thing.

    P3, I guess Kaz missed the day Dr. Pearl briefed the staff about the students with disabilities.

    Did I miss something? I didn’t notice anything in the strip to indicate cerebral palsy, or anything unusual at all.

    Ignatz, this is the first mention. The reason there is no indication is probably because if you didn’t see me walking, you wouldn’t suspect I had the condition. CP affects everyone who has it differently.

    Curses. Kaz was about to ask what state he was actually in (aside from the State of Confusion).

    P 4: “…uh, well, ok, but I was gonna’ ask what they were serving for lunch today in the cafeteria….your breath is pretty rank right now…”

    Kaz had him in Geography last year…..and had no clue he had CP??? Will there be teasing for Vic or just some awkwardness with peer support? Cringe worthy panels ahead.

    A lot of ESP going on in today’s strip. Kaz magically knows that Gil is talking about Vic when he walks in his office, despite not being present when he hired him. And Gil magically knows that Kaz is asking about Vic’s medical condition based on him saying, “What’s the-”.

    And speaking of what’s the, what’s the deal with Mopped Up Thorp? Well, the main deal is that it’s online and ready to read.

    Since Bad Boys was mentioned, I’m hoping Vic pays homage to the Pistons’ PA announcer from that era, KC Ken Calvert. Joe Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuumaaaaaaaaars! Charlie Roooooooooooooooooooooooh

    Until reading panel 3, I thought the exulting in panel 1 was due to the cafeteria burritos.
