Wow, I thought nobody in Milford could be a worse prankster than Shemp Dumbo, but The Idiot formerly known as Curley-Horse goes and tops him for lameness. Sure, I can see he’s trying to emulate the old Curly Neal bucket-of-confetti-instead-of-water trick, but the way he does it makes no sense at all…The whole point is to build up anticipation in front of an audience, that’s what makes the gag work. But Andrew starts dumping it on Shemp-bo WHEN HE’S NOT EVEN LOOKING. What a moron.
Fortunately we have the redeeming side effect that he’s pissed off Kaz. And you don’t want to piss off Kaz. Becasue after he’s done waving that freak finger, he’s going to PUNCH YOU IN THE GODDAMN FACE.
Well, now we know what happened to all the leftover confetti from the Frank McLaughlin era. A-Train’s been saving it for a special occasion.
Speaking of special occasions, is anyone else getting creeped out as much as I am, what with all the locker-room snake talk, Kaz shadowing a freshly-showered, firmly-muscled, towel-clad high schooler… and that dildo of an index finger in panel 3? As Martin Mull once sang: “Throw your rubbers overboard, there’s no one here but men, men, men, men…”

CurleyHorse needs to be punched out just for the lameness of his practical joke.
He also needs to look into that bad acne.
Gil’s busy at PUB, which is the only reason he’s not reaming out CurleyHorse.

How was this supposed to make Shrimp Gumbo look stupid? “Ha ha! I threw confetti on you–that means you’re stupid, Stupid-Face!”
Don’t worry, Regina, I’m sure Gil has penciled in a few minutes to “ream-out” CurleyHorse later.

I think Kaz’ finger must be the same size as the one belonging to my proctologist.
Regina, I think that is supposed to be sweat…but WHAT is he sweating, pinworms? Maybe they’re coming from his brain…ooops, forgot, he doesn’t have a brain.

Now if only Big Ray will come in and start with Kaz about yelling at his little boy. Then Kaz can punch his lights out after sticking his protoclogist finger into BR where the sun don’t shine.

Whew, 2 straight. Wait’ll its 6 or 7. Heads will roll. Sometimes you need to loosen up a little when you’re losing, but in this case, I get the impression these guys just dont care. I guess Kaz wants to save the confetti for when they win 2 straight.

I went back and looked at the strip where Kaz punched out “druken lout”….oh to have those good times back…I just hope Rubin has a “summer o’ crazy” for us, but I doubt it. He may bring back ElMullet boring us with his job with the Kalamazoo Kings or a whole summer of Shemp Gumbo pulling “America’s Home Video” reject stunts that are making the Three Stooges cringe in their graves.

3 i think the confetti was supposed to stick on Shemp’s wet body to make him look stupid.

Do you mean Meadowlark Lemon? Curly Neal was the slick dribbler. Or was the torch passed on?
