    What’s with the hot dog guy? Who would speak that way? Would you say to someone, “Are you going to tell everyone about our frankfurters?”, or would you say “Are you going to tell everyone about our FRANKfurters?” Is that normal to yell the first half of the word?

    It’s nice to see that Vic does own a second shirt. For this game he has red instead of blue! And speaking of red, you’ll be seeing red if you forget to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

    This may end up like the episode of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW where Ted exploited a loophole in his contract to do shameless TV commercials as “Farmer Ted.” (Lou finally stopped him by threatening to smash his face!)

    P3 Vic’s insanity intensifies as the hot dog machine introduces itself and asks Vic for a nickname of its own, with being ignored by classmates and underclassman in the crowd the only clue that he hasn’t totally gone mad

    The potential for in game sponsors is promising. Maris Industries, Copywrite Cafe, Speedco, Ricozzi’s, Subwich. The Bucket you ask? Why? The kids already go there. Marty’s WDIG Station Manager notices Vic and Moon feels the heat to up his game.

    P2: Really, Gil? Since when do any of the sports you “coach” come first?

    Is Milford also going to act like a bunch of whiny cry-baby thugs who walk off the court before the game’s over if they’re losing?

    Oh? Frankfurters now? I thought that all they served at MHS was mushy hot dogs

    Why is the machine talking to him? Is it some sort of robot serving up wise-a$$ comments along with food?

    P 2.5: “….and remember your contract Vic…..don’t become another annoying character in this strip…we’ve already got enough of those…”

    P1, Is Vic headed to the locker room with Gil?!? Run, Vic! Don’t do it! Save yourself!

    P2, Oh, c’mon, Gil it’s not like you’ll be there to hear any of it.

    P3, And speaking of cooking up. . . Get to work, Vic! Look at the line. You gotta earn that free dog and coke if you want free food.

    Funny Gil is telling Vic to remember that “basketball comes first”, while he totally abandoned his team once the game ended and didn’t even join them in the locker room.

    P3. Suddenly our pal Vic is sporting a crutch. Gunna be hard to carry that FRANKfurter. Maybe a cute girl will help him out.

    P1- Egad! Vic and Gil took one from the blind side. That Mike the Mayor hasn’t been around. He always carried a kitchen knife hoping to spread some creamy goodness. Now who would be jealous enough to stab the two new best buds in the back? Hic, hic.
