I’m sure he’d like to.

And if Zonk was the best man, I guess what the others were.

Yeah, he’ll never forget playing with Zonker.

Zonker doesn’t remember college let alone his time on the football team.

I can picture Zonker in the role of waterboy!!

Allllmost had it!

Allllmost had it!

That guy has been hit on the head too often!!

P4: Where’s Sokol’s pectoral swoosh gone? Was it just a dream?? Like Zonker’s football prowess???

Burn!

Does B.D. ever ditch that helmet for something else?

ouch. Just plain “ouch”. The class stoner is a legend. …I need a sit down.

I heard that he was going to change to the ( football helmet ) ?

Zonker is a legend all right!

Does anyone know what year/dates to see the aforementioned football game panels in the archive here?

Someone in Nike’s marketing department is complaining that there aren’t enough swooshes on that uniform.

Good thing BD is wearing that helmet—it’ll contain the bone shrapnel when his head explodes.

That’s the spirit, son. Brown nose your coach.

B.D.: Sokol, I’ll pretend that you’re goofing on Elvis!

Anyone know a clue to the names on lockers? Tribute to colleagues/friends a la Pogo?

LMAO! LOVE Zonker!!!

In the mid-80s I worked with a guy in New Haven who plausibly claimed to be the inspiration for Zonker.

I MADE A FREAKIN’ TOUCHDOWN,JOANIE!!
