Quick Hits for the day:
Panel 1: I’m convinced Goshen is not of this world…as everyone floats along in a backgroundless netherworld. Or maybe they’re all sitting there waiting for Godot. Also, Lisa Wyche must be on the ‘roids. Look at that Mark McGuire-sized noggin! Oh, and where the hell is her hand? Did she go choppin’ wood with Bill Ritter?
Panel 2: Random audience guys are a lot of fun again today! Thanks to a total lack of perspective it’s hard to determine if “surprised guy” is actually getting elbowed by the Mrs. Wyche, or merely shocked and appalled by the stink of her ratty sweatsuit. Meanwhile the fellow behind Mrs. Wyche is obviously following her around, as he was also behind her at an earlier game. He’s probably an agent deep undercover. Why? No resident of Milford would ever wear a coat that pimp-tastic. What’s he up to? Well, he’s undercover, so that info is classified until early 2008.
Panel 3: Is the cliffhanger “Manly Paris dresses up as a ref and starts a game of charades”? I wish. More likely, “Psycho mom gets called for a technical which results in the opposing team winning.” I hope it’s the former…’cause I like charades.

It worries me that I couldn’t see him in Panel 1.

Undercover Guy obviously has the power to cloud men’s minds. Who knows what evil lurks in the Milford High gymnasium? The Shadow knows! (Actually, it’s probably a poorly-drawn rendering of one of Neal Rubin’s neighbors or something. Maybe tomorrow he’ll be holding a “Fire Millen” sign.) What I want to know is, why is he wearing a feather boa? Mismatched accessories! He’s getting a technical foul for a fashion crime!!
Lisa Wyche’s comment in panel 1 seems like a complete non-sequitur to me. “At least she’s usually right”? As in, she may be a royal asshole, but at least she’s usually right? May I suggest: “Yeah, we’ve GOT to get her off the greenies!” Or, “If you think this is enthusiastic, you should hear her when she’s screwing the pool boy!”
Of course, whenever she screws the pool boy, she has to kill and eat him afterward. Fortunately, nobody notices if an illegal alien goes missing once in a while.

The “At least she’s usually right” comment makes sense. It can be very embarrassing to have a parent criticizing something or someone (depending a lot on who the target is). Whether or not the parent is obnoxious, it helps a bit if you can say “yeah, but she’s right.”

One more thing:
Panel 3: Is the cliffhanger “Manly Paris dresses up as a ref and starts a game of charades”?
I thought that the ref looked more like Congresswoman Betty Bright (was that her name? I’ve tried to wipeout that stor(m)y line from my memory banks.)

The guy in panel two is in shock because Mrs. Wyche has actually grown in size from her anger. She may be related to Bruce Banner. Fortunately the half-time show is about to begin in panel three and the ref is leading the crowd in a rousing “Hand Jive” competition.

I think it’s possible Mrs. Wyche has a very narrow birth canal. I mean, that’s a really odd-shaped head! Does she have a brother named Bert?

Yeah, as the center, you’d expect Lisa to be the tallest player on the team. But you wouldn’t expect 1/3 of her height to come from her elongated head. What a freak!
