I sincerely hope that this guy winds up like Master Bader — slinking off in disgrace in the end. (A few too many times, with the exception of Marty Moon, the bad-guy-de-jour Sees The Light at the end of the arc.)
P1: Criminal misbehavior for Chet the Jet to wear those platform shoes — headed to Studio 54? Lose that coffee cup, babe, and I’ll show you my New York hustle. P4: Later for you lounge lizard.
Don Vito from Goshen has been grooming the kid since they brought him from The Outside to work a long-range point-shaving scam on these rubes. Didn’t have to pay this Charlie kid much to fumble, he liked laughing at Daddio. Always bet the ‘under’ is Vito’s advice.
Least likely ending to this story: Chet says, “You’re right. I didn’t know what I was thinking. I just so want Charlie to call me ‘Dad.’ Is there anything I can do to make that happen, like maybe supporting him on his own terms?” Then, later, after several backyard sessions in which Chet helps Sorry Charlie learn how to hold onto the football, he gives volatile superstar Chance the Snapper a breather and plunges into the line without fumbling, helping to secure a big victory over Valley Tech and second place in the conference! After the game, Charlie says, “Thanks, uh, ‘Dad.’” And we see Chet’s tear ducts well up. Then the basketball starters…

P1, Sorry Chet, she’s not gonna call you Daddy either.
P2, If only Chet’s talking tie would choke him to death.
P3, Maybe she should take your place on the school board, Chet.

P2- We can tell Chet is an outsider, not wearing the standard issue leather watch band to accentuate his 1971 zip up ankle boots.

Master criminal of misbehavior. I like it. The Kingpin of classroom chaos? Joker of juvenile delinquency?

Wait ‘til Ruh-Roh finds out about Chet’s snooping…he will be calling him names that start with ‘mother’ rather than ‘dad’

P3: If he’s not supposed to know, who gave him access to the file, missy?

I am surprised they didn’t draw her whole hand in panel 3 instead of just her finger.

Chet needs his a$$ kicked…that would be egregious and very colorful at the same time

Is English a second language for Ms. Roh? She seems to have locked in on the phrase “very colorful”.

Lock the kid up and throw away the key. No scond "Chance"s for grade school students.
