    Shep Trumbo agrees with Bitsy, but also hates people who hate people.

    Hold on a second — Maxwell looked a lot stronger in his initial appearances in the strip. And even so, high school basketball must be a lot rougher than it was 40+ years ago. I don’t remember anyone getting smacked around.

    Maxwell Bacon Rolls are the favorite breakfast in Milford.

    In all reality, agree with Bitsy and Shep. Milford has some strange speech patterns, Aye or as we would say in my old neihborhood " Magic Max talks funny, No .

    Wouldn’t it have been great if Maxwell would have told Marty, “Well, Marty, it’s like when you’ve had too much to drink and you drive your car into a tree. You’ve got to brush yourself off and get behind the wheel again.”

    Mmmm, bacon rolls. But as was pointed out way back, his build is not that slender for a high school kid. In P2, I expected Max to continue his last sentence with “and you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!”Mopman is proud of how shiny the court is. But now it looks like even the writers are joining in on this long running surface mocking. Doesn’t it look like Bacon’s teammates are speed skating?

    It’s 1976 and the tiny town of Milford rocks to The Spinners “Rubberband Man.” The ’Larks sizzle as Bacon dishes out deuces.

    Did anybody else think the ref last night looked like Bob Newhart?

    P-3 But, does the bacon roll out from under your shorts? P-1 What’s on Marty’s thumb? Shouldn’t he have a mike?

    Bearwku82, maybe it’s even earlier and Bobby Vee’s singing: “Just Like a Rubber Ball, I Keep Bouncin Back To You”

    Does this mean Maxwell is related to Stretch Armstrong?

    Is Maxwell just sauntering through the middle of a dribbling drill in P3?

    At least they are not playing the Tilden Trojans with their new point guard E.Z. Glide.

    If Maxwell is rubber, does that make Marty glue?

    The Baconator reminds me of Nigel Gruff. He’s wire-ree. That’ll do pig.

    Gilfan79, now that’s funny! The Dixie Weave if I recall is what Marty does after too many Southern Comforts at happy hour.
