Nice to see a couple of Detroit radio legends get callouts today. Ken Calvert was a popular DJ on rock stations WRIF and WCSX for about 40 years. One quibble with Mason (also a DJ), he not only WAS the PA announcer, he still is! Rubin’s time in Detroit obviously a big influence on today’s strip.
Hmm, I forgot to criticize today’s strip. Oh well, there’s a first for everything. And speaking of first, the first thing you should do this morning is visit Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
At Chicago Stadium in the 90s, the roar of the crowd drowned out the Bulls guy after he said “From North Carolina …” Kind of like those Beatles concerts where the girls were so loud you couldn’t hear the music. Meanwhile, what kind of Bad Boy nickname is VD going to come up with for this team?
In all reality, how soon before Vic has a mental breakdown and he is institutionalized , will Vic’s parents sue Gil and Milford HS for encouraging and allowing his anouncing antics which lead to his breakdown , inquiring minds want to know !
P1- Vic has an entourage of Tessi “Don’t Hate Me Because I’m Beautiful” Milton, Becca Ramirez and “Drivel” Doug Guthrie? He must have a plethora of turtlenecks to wear on game night.
I didn’t think it possible that I would be longing for more CK (or tat slaps and TCFS buttons, for that matter) but Vickie Dee has sent me over the edge. Barbie girl basketball players, hot rod point guards, turtle neck fixations . . . this plot line is more undefined than the normal R&W meanderings.

P1 The kid on the left notices and points out Gil dropping trow while talking to Vic
P2 Vic’s insane rant at the top of his voice startles members of the crowd within earshot and sends the ants scurrying toward the exit doors
P3 My face is frozen and I got blisters on my fingers!

I just want to see what Corina is going to do. I swear-she is the female equivalent of Winston Wolfe from Pulp Fiction!

Yikes! Let’s hope the focus is on the girl’s team or a road game for the next four weeks.

Vic’s father must be a dentist. We are getting a lot of shots of his teeth. Plus you know he is yelling because his hands tell a story
