Well HB has nailed the location of Milford, if Leo drives in from the Navajo reservation Milford is in SE Utah, or NE Arizona, or NW New Mexico.
Should have just not mentioned the tribal affiliation. But when you figure your readers are too dumb to know the rules of the sports, or the laws of physics, you got to figure they probably don’t know the names of many Native American tribes. My suggestion of Paugussett yesterday would have been a better choice.
I think they should have gone with a more stereotype laconic, stoic “Indian brave” thing here in the dialogue. First panel: “Native?”; “Navajo.”. Second panel: “Beef with Barnes?”, Third panel: “Yes! He makes a nummy Philly cheesesteak!”
Vito from Goshen has a long-odds prop bet on the Big Board that little Woody Allen’s docudrama titled Leo: Vegan Warrior will win an Acadamy Award. Bet early and often.
Well Mr. Beret wins the title of Head Genius today. He drives onto the Navajo Reservation, where Leo lives, and asks him if he’s a Native American. I guess he picked up all the subtle clues. And speaking of clues, me posting is a good clue that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.
What a train wreck ! Leo is their star pitcher and basketball player and they are just now finding out he is Navajo AND lives on a reservation ??? And, not raising any ethnicity issues here; but, isn’t Indian about as obvious as being African-American and/or Asian ?
Screw the Rez. No pun intended. When are we going to find out if Gilpa got lucky on his date with Beth ???? or does HB just leave it hanging out there ??!!

Today isn’t Festivus and the airing of grievances, but something tells me there will be the airing of beefs in the snark-o-sphere today.

1) Contrary to popular belief, vegans actually understand slang.
2) Why is doing that with his hand?

P2- Much like “Cappy” and his feeble attempt to put Leo in focus, this thread is asymmetrical. Cappy could use a swift kick in the buttocks.
