You have been found guilty by a jury of your peers, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. The law allows only one sentence for your crimes. Therefore, you will be taken from here to the place from whence you came and kept in close confinement until are taken to your place of execution where you shall hang by the neck until you are dead. And may God have mercy upon your soul.
Thanks to modern technology, in today’s episode of Milford Masterpiece Theatre, the part of Delbert Bader is played by the late, great Walter Matthau. Sooo, Mrs. Grand Master’s name is Sandra? Thought is was Ella. She certainly needs a lift up.
P-1:They skipped Summer School to show up and still wore ties? It’s the Milford time warp. They thought a Circuit Court was a giant game of Pong.P-2: On the Docket, Del realizes no matter what the judge says, soon he’ll disappear from this strip forever.P-3: Recess, Ma Bader steps away only to find some guy claiming to be a Trans is using the Ladies room.
Alternate P-3: Barry! For the love of… get your hands off my head, your pulling my hair..dang it, let go. After recess I’m going to use the “see no evil” and “speak no evil” poses.
Geez, what a downer this strip has become. Compared to this, “Funky Winkerbean” (guys getting shot and collapsing with heart attacks) has been a barrel of laughs.
I suppose the point of this is to let the guys see that Del’s conviction is going to destroy the life and future hopes of the Bader family. They’ll probably lose their home, Barry can forget about college, if they’re lucky, he and his mom will be able to move in with relatives.
@wmac8898: Yes, the ribbon’s on his lapel and way the EMTs had to dismember her to get her out of the wreck is on his right sleeve. Hey, Tru, about that monument…Color Forms?
Wait, they come into court and he is pleading guilty per their agreement with the prosecution. So there is no testimony, calling of witnesses, etc. Why are they having a recess?

Mrs. Bader seems to be saying, “I wish I could somehow just… dissolve…”

At least Mr. Bader was respectful enough to honor Boo with a black ribbon on his lapel.

I suspect the fact that the second vehicle actually caused the death will be a factor. Otherwise, why even make it part of the story?

It looks like Big Ken Brown came dressed to make it all happen. That tie should come in handy when he jumps over the partition to strangle Del.
Del, finally realizing in P2, that he faces 15 years of being somebody’s wife.
Young Master Bader’s giant ego allows him to think the team showed up to support him. Boy will he be disappointed.
Mrs. Bader to Young Master Bader. Not my hair! I know what you do with those hands!
As John Riggins once said, “Loosen up Sandy Baby.”

If Ma Bader stepped away, why is she still in the courtroom?

Those poor Milford kids didn’t get a summer vacation this year (too many snow days). Going right from baseball to football.

Good to see the Boo Lives Matter movement show up for a peaceful demonstration in the courtroom.

Well at least Barry’s parents are finally waking up to reality. Now Gil or Katz need to step up and deliver it to Barry.
