    I feel kind of sorry for the kid who was benched in favor of someone who’s just learning to play basketball. Love the “game face” in P1.

    What on earth did Wendy’s dance consist of? It would have to have been incredibly raunchy to draw this kind of attention. I once worked with a former professional dancer who cut loose at an office party. It was no big deal. She was really good, but people didn’t go nuts. Good grief.

    Those aren’t wristbands, they’re tattoos.

    The dance must have been in the nude to draw this kind of reaction in 2013. Or does the strip really exist in some kind of cosmic version of 1962?

    “Nice dancing.” Nice trash talk.

    Love the rugby scrum in P2. Maybe Wendy is supposed to dance in the center of it.

    “You’re looking like a basketball player out there.” As opposed to what? A toaster? An elevator operator? Good pep talk, Mimi.

    In all reality, does Wendy run off the court in tears , break out into something from Swan Lake or into a dance routine that would make a stripper blush ?

    As Wendy toes the charity stripe and hears hey, 25! Nice dancing!, She has the urge to channel her inner Jennifer Beals as pretty boy Keegan Hershey stalks, err, looks on.

    Not sure if it’s been suggested before, but could it be that Wendy is really just an awful dancer, ala Elaine on Seinfeld?

    Not sure who the heckler is in P3, but it must be one really short person. They’re not even in the panel.

    P2 – that huddling thing is realistic, at least as something a team does BEFORE THE OPENING TIP when they yell and pump themselves up, not during a timeout.P3 – And thus ends Wendy’s good game, how can she possibly play well now with all those cruel comments being hurled at her? Look out for a bunch of flagrant fouls from her, just like her brother.

    The dance was mediocre, at best.

    Is the team so bad that all you have to do is look like a basketball player to start?

    This makes less sense everyday. Young girls take dance as a matter of a rite of passage. Many take a different route in their teen years and I have never ever seen anything as ridiculous as this comic strip has become as trash talking a good basketball player who also danced in her younger years.
