Skating on a frozen pond? Another throwback. We used to do that almost every winter in St. Louis, but now it seldom gets cold enough, and when it does, like this winter, they don’t allow it. When I was a kid they not only allowed it, the city would build a big bonfire nearby so you could warm up.
Guys, in panel three, Mimi says “20 minutes.” High school varsity games, are they still 12-minute quarters in America (JV is eight, I think)? I haven’t lived in the U.S. for 30 years and I wouldn’t know about any changes. Maybe the writers are thinking of college games? Maybe Mimi means minutes here and there that add up to 20? We’ll see…
GilPa proudly sports the scarf given to him by Dodgeball great Patches O’Houlihan. Start and play 20 minutes is code for I’ve got to protect her from herself as she is prone to foul trouble.
P-3 (con’t) Mimi shows she got her coaching skills from Gill as she holds a huddle in a Basketball game. I wish I could come up with another ’cause then I could go three for three. Anybody got anything about the black anklets?
…I’m getting perilously close to proposing a limit on posts, no matter how funny the authors think they might be. Save it for your act in the Catskills!And to think how I blasted Whiz years ago…
Yeah, that has to be a hallway, not an ice rink. Have you ever seen an ice surface where you can see the reflection of people’s bodies? Not even on a freshly Zamboni’d hockey rink! And speaking of fresh, some fresh new Mopped Up Thorp strips are out there. I’m all caught up!

Gil and Mimi talk like basketball practice has been going on for eight weeks instead of two.

P1, I told Jorge I’d break him into the shower ritual gradually, but after only a week, he’s taken to it like an old pro.
P2, I tried that with his angry sister and she almost took my head off.
P3. Now I’ve got to let the little b!tch play or she’s going to The Dear Superintendent.

It looks like Gil and Mimi are vaping.

P-3: She’ll play 20 minutes before her new Milford diet kicks in and she’s off to the locker room.

Mimi’s probably telling everyone that they’re no good in P3 since the player that just showed up two weeks ago starts.

After 20 minutes she starts asking for a cheeseburger. And someone always gives her one…

What’s up in panel 2? Did they both just take a drag off of a joint? Great role models here. Oh wait I forgot who I was talking about here.
