His people will make sure you don’t get him for nothing.

So—will BD go back to wearing a football helmet 24/7??

I misread the first line of the first panel, just as the orange one appeared on a TV news show in front of me.

B.D. is there for the asKing!

Nothing? Nothing much.

BD, remember Sid telling you that you must not answer the phone? That the answer to any business question was, “You’ll have to ask Sid”? That, in business, instead of “Yes” you must say, “How much? Sid will never agree to that”?

What, not a salary higher than any two of the professors combined?

they forgot BD’s in hollywood.

In most states, the highest paid state employee is the coach of the men’s football or basketball team at the state university.

Uh oh. People calling people means legal stuff. The price for pride just went up.

Oh, he’s definitely worth twice that. :)

Do anything you want me to

(Done dirt cheap)

(Dirty deeds)

Dirty deeds, dirty deeds

(Done dirt cheap)

Yeah

Finally, he won’t have to make do with a mere motorcycle helmet.

Off topic: It was 50 years ago today that Mark. tired of his father saying he had no son, and tired of living in the garage at his parents home called up Mike and asked him if he was interested in a motorcycle road trip. The trip where they rescued Joanie and which began the lead up to Mike meeting her daughter JJ.

Don’t forget, President King, you get what you pay for.

Hey, we got a coach entering his 5th year with a 13 and 29 record. he has been told to put a few more wins on the score board or take a hike! He is a former pro and wonder boy for us in college!

Anyone you can get for nothing is going to be worth exactly that

People….people who have people….

the way king phrased it, i ‘thought’ bd would interpret it as being asked to take over as QB….but i was wrong.
