In Security by Bea R. for July 26, 2018

…So that’s why they call it a “Hubble”. It looks like it’s coming in from orbit!

Interesting.

Nine panels here.

Hubbs you do Aaron Rogers proud. What a throw. Now can Ellie catch it?

Ellie is an athlete, and it is a baby, so touchdown!

l can’t believe I am up this late. Had to see what Bea was doing next.

Hubbs you best hope she catches it. If she get’s hurt that will be a lot of fans in the real world that you can’t hide from.

N-N-N-Nine Panels …

I recognize “Moe” from the previous football arc.

If ‘Al’ makes the catch, it will prove that they belong together …

“By The Numbers”™ …

- Two dedicated players

- One set of keenly-honed recruiting instincts

- Ten “O’s” worth of velocity.

- Eight apprehensive teammates

- Two long legs pumping furiously in pursuit of a proper reception ✨❤️✨

Love the crane shot set up alongside the incoming “Missile” in Panel #9. ✨❤️✨

Now, one of two things will happen. She will catch it and pass out, requiring Hubbs to give her mouth to mouth, or two she will catch it and her wig falls off when she cheers.

Love the Dirty Dancing reference. ;)

…What if she starts calling him daddy after this?

Hmmm …

If ‘Al’ and Sedine are the two most effective players in Knightville …

Going to lose the wig most likely.

Woo~!!

… why do I get the feeling that a few buttons are gonna pop off?…

Oh no!

Death throw

Ball is in the air.

Run fast

Ball passed

Show him that you care.

“Al” sprints

Hubbs squints

Ball a mile high.

Such fun

Tension

Catch it on the fly.

Descent

Still sprints

This catch could be big.

Maybe

Baby

Knocks off Ellie’s wig.

The touchdown celebration between Hubbs and Ellie is going to be really awkward!!! LOL

I’ll be worried if not were because Ellie has showed she’s not a china doll, not an angel.

One.

One panel tomorrow.

Ellie’s face through her diamond shaped hands on one side (or top) with the football opposite.

Saturday we have a lesson in conservation of momentum, as Ellie spins like a ballerina before heading down the field.

Wait, are we just going to ignore the people saying “Not again, he’ll die”? Did Hubbs…remove someone with this pass?

They all seem to be clueless RE “Al’s” gender.

The greatest play in football, The Bomb. Love her face in the last panel. You go girl!!!

Dang Bea… This is the best comic strip I’ve ever seen a lot of story in a few panels. And the character intensity. WOW. Come on people, make a pledge to this artist. Have to keep this train rolling.

See? Woo.

It’s the Hail Ellie pass..

The guy in the front of Panel 7 looks a little like Moe Howard of the Three Stooges.

Is it just me, or is this shaping up to be far and away the best ‘First Date’ that ‘Al’/Ellie has ever had? ✨

As we used to say about certain distant TV stations, “The Reception Is Awful” …

Bea and all others:

I still want to know if you are familiar with the strip Gordo, the book Accidental Ambassador, and especially how Gus Arriola did the “panels” on page 112.

“Prove my instincts right”? Hubbs, your instincts haven’t been all that sharp if you can’t tell that ‘Al’ is a female. Wait until he finds out exactly which female!

Ugh! Almost two more hours to go before the next comic! I’m dying here!
