    Seriously, if this is the kind of story we’re getting after only authoring this strip for about 20 months, what’s next? Bowling for dollars? It took years for the previous writer to get to stories about peacocks and rally hippos.

    Game was tied with Rod making a three point buzzer beater? Milford was up by one and either made a stop or Valley Tech turned the ball over and took a time out, after which Rod makes a two point shot to add to the lead at the buzzer? “The Shot” how and why?

    So I guess Gil now has a lucky tie.

    P-1: It’s either Picasso, or while his right hand cramps so bad it makes a “shoot” sound, his left hand is palm up with the wrist down. I think I saw Jet Li do that to a guy, once.

    P-2: As the ball swishes through the net, it um, uh, cuts the cheese.

    P-3: Some guy in an Obama mask tries to sneak in as this story’s special guest appearance.

    Note: Since this shot only added to the lead, I’m left wondering what was so special about the go ahead basket; or is “The Shot” still coming on Monday when Pedro pulls an AK out of his gym bag.

    If Rodney is the hero of this story, why did Gil spend several DAYS setting up ToBe?

    P4 < Jun Jun’s steely stare finds and fixes on Coach Mim’s eyes. Fear and dread knowing he has brought great shame to his family and deep humiliation to his trash talking Gil bespectacled daughter through his unwanted welcoming of failure. Coach Kim knows the PTSD his daughter is now suffering because of his inadequacy will prevent her from ever helping wash dishes. Kim knows his fate of lonely kitchen duty for years to come has been sealed. >

    Aren’t we out of sequence here? It was a few days ago (Maarch 25) that Gil was asked apparently by news people if he was present for “the shot”. Now today we get the shot. Confusing.

    Rodney took a shot? Doesn’t he trust his teammates?

    On March 21st Henry had the score listed as 80-79 Milford with one minute left in the game. Either a) Henry has imagined a new sports technique called reverse scoring b) He can’t keep track of the nonsense he is “writing” anymore or c) He is rushing through the “sports” part so he can imagine other new ways of ruining the strip or d) all of the above. What a joke.

    Is this the shot that’s going to propel him to the pros?

    OK, I see it now… Gil’s on a talk show some time in the future and Rod is now the greatest pro basketball player of all time, or something like that.

    The son who hacked into a bank is probably the one he had with Beth after that one-nighter.

    See – put it together like it’s a comic book and it all still makes do sense.

    From a darkened corner of the upper level, Coach Nonads chambers a round in his Mannlicher-Carcanno.

    It’s a fistpump orgy in P3! And speaking of orgies, I don’t care if you’re in the middle of an orgy, you need to call a timeout and read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
