Heart of the City by Steenz for April 20, 2021

Hermits can only afford so much.

An err, obvious explanation….

I finally had to look up who this “Gritty” person is. Turns out he’s the mascot for the Philly Flyers hockey team. Thought I’d share that for readers who may not live in the US. (or who are unaware of NHL mascots)

My first thought was, “What’s a Gritty?” A little bit of research later: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gritty_(mascot). Okay, now it makes a bit more sense, they are in Philadelphia, after all.

Did those kids have a between-strips growth spurt, or is this guy really short?

The heck is “Gritty”? Some Philadelphia urban legend?

huh?

He removed his cheap costume and his arms are still that hairy? Just brown, not orange now?

He is a big foot. Related to Eddie Murphy’s Aunt Bunny. If he says “Gooney goo whoo”; get OUT OF THERE!

I don’t really get it.

How would people in “town” which is actually a large city know he’s a hermit ? How would wearing an attention getting costume make a hermit feel better ? Seems like the answer to the Bigfoot quest has created even more questions .

Talk about going “off the rails” …

“He” is referring to “himself” as “guy”.

But, remove the beard… Hmmm….
