    I wish someone would dig up some dirt on Dafne and print it in the Trumpet. Maybe she cheated on a spelling test in the fourth grade.

    The Bucket serves fries (rooster combs?) in cardboard boxes. Fancy.

    Not every “story” needs to be printed. Journalists CAN be positive and supportive of others. It’s the way I was the only member of the press that Don Haskins, basketball coach at UTEP would say hi to in the hallway at the arena. He hated the press. There are negative things that have to get reported but this one for the strip doesn’t seem to be one like that.

    In all reality , meanwhile Barry " Bad News " Bader is hitting .379 and MLB scouts are flocking to Milford to get a look at him. Big Ken Brown continues to not make anything happen and Marty Moon hits a $ 2 Daily Double and doubles down with a double Jack straight to celebrate .

    Springtime is a season of weeds and dandelions. The Milford moustache on female characters has taken an abrupt sabbatical. P1 & P2- Carrie saved money by having a softball perm from wearing her game visor.

    The Tru(e) Standish training guidelines are still being followed- work out/ play followed by eating all you can.

    It’s called The Trumpet because it blows.

    Maybe he hit Boo and they moved away.

    P1, I sure hope The Obnoxious Shot Putter puts the shot left handed. I don’t think that mangled right hand will do the trick. Or is he holding Double D’s third hand? The color version doesn’t make this look any clearer..

    Oh, and when did Carrie become a hunchback?

    P2, It looks like Carrie is suddenly smitten with The Obnoxious Shot Putter. How will Beavis get over this hurdle?

    P3 Double D is anxious to Trumpet her scoop to the whole school.

    P-1: The Bucket saves money by serving shakes in skinny Soda glasses and serving up boxes of Angel Wing pastries.

    P-2: Carrie loses all strength in her neck muscles and begins to morph into a marionette.

    P-3: Unclear on the concept: Trumpets are hard to print on because they’re made of brass. Maybe she should be a radio newscaster and say “you can hear it from the trumpet”. Or, the unashamed school tabloid has dropped the leading “S” from its banner.

    I wonder if The Trumpet runs Gil Thorp?

    Is the girl in P1’s nickname “Pigeon Neck”? I can picture her walking around the softball field with her head poking in and out like a pigeon. And speaking of pigeon, don’t pigeonhole Mopped Up Thorp into the category of lame satire strips.

    Why are newspapers called the “Trumpet” or “Bugle”? How come its not the Milford Trombone or Saxophone?

    Geez…do R&W ever draw the same people the same way? The girls in P1 look nothing like the girls in P2 and P3. Maybe it’s like the Seinfeld episode where the same woman looked good or bad depending upon the lighting.
