As Bart Simpson once said, “George Burns was right. Show business is a hideous bitch goddess.” And by that I clearly mean “Keeping this damned blog up to date is hard. Especially when I care more about what ever happened to Mr. Bakst than anything that’s happened in the last two months time.”
Speaking of not that, it appears Wee Jam-Jar Jamkins is only about 12 inches tall and about to have his leg torn off by his giant stalkee! Look out Wee Jam-Jar!

“Wait, you mean to tell me he’s not drinking heavily AND not punching strangers in the face? I’m glad you saw me about this, kid. I’ll take care of the first problem, and my fine associate Kaz will take on the second.”
Later:
Kaz and Gil get bored at practice, because well, they’re actually at practice for some reason. So they decide to make stroke faces at each other until PUB opens.

Wait. You’re shittin’ me. The quarterback of the Jefferson Jeffs is named Murph Wolfman? MURPH WOLFMAN?? Why do recent storylines revolve around tools named Shep and Elmer and sometimes even Casper, and the quarterback who we’ll never hear about again after this game (so the next two days, two weeks, who knows?) has the most awesome name this side of Chest Rockwell?
I demand a spin-off comic involving wacky opposites Murph Wolfman and Mr. Bakst, as they track professional criminals through the mean streets of Charleston. And who knows? Maybe our old friend Kaz will stop by with a case of Nutboys! Perhaps then I’ get back to updating this hideous bitch goddess of a blog every day.
[Update after a few hours sleep: Yep. Apparently I read Wolman as "Wolfman". Wolman is really not as funny. So let's all agree that they said "wolfman", OK?]

Also, Murph Wolman died last month. That 17-yard run has to be some kind of record for guys who are decomposing:

If the Wolfman is only 5-9 then this must be the Hobbit league. Compared to the rest of the players in panel 3 he looks like Robb in a parking lot full of Yugos.

I agree Murph Wolfman is much more amusing.
A lotta freak hands are goin’ on in these three strips.
Is Marty Moon wearing a toupee in panel two of the third strip. He needs to straighten it out.
The reasaon Gil’s so smug in panel two is because Dunkin’ Doughnuts is doing the exact oppisite of everything Gil does.
I don’t blame ya for slackin’ off Jason. The last few weeks have been ioncredibly boring. I join the chorus of people who are asking “WHAT HAPPENED TO MR. BAKST???????????”

The Wolfman is 90% heart? I think Gil got him confused with Frankenstein.
Ya know, miscellaneous parts all screwed up?

Duh, my comment was supposed to end with “(crickets chirping)”. Cause ya know, it’s kinda corny. All right, I’ll stop.

Gil really is nonchalant about the fact that a bunch of his players were engaging in underage drinking. Talk about not giving a crap! Oh, and Robbbbb is more of a douche than ever for even mentioning the party.
Nice Moe Howard wig, Marty.

“making stroke faces”… now that’s snarkitude of epic proportion JB!!!!
10/13 P3 – I think we have the Whig-man’s worst drawn hand ever. Unless it’s another homage to Picasso.

10/15 panel two…..what’s with the rug on Martys head..he’s also leaking out his right ear.

In the backfield are the Eggman and the Walrus.
Why are Marty and Gil looking away while talking to each other? Is there a camera crew present?
Oh.. they’re looking at Wolman warming up on the field.
90% heart?? So the other 10% is actual football ability? How did this guy make the team? I’ll take ability over heart 8 days a week.

What’s with the Secret Service earpiece Marty’s sportin? It’s like he’s thinking one day MNF will come calling and he can say, “I’ve got my own earpiece.” How sad

Murph Wolfman is half man, half bear and half pig.

90% heart, 10% liver.
More of that left than most of Milford.

10/15 Panel #2: Gil’s walking like an egyptian! Or he is slapping that “cigarette” out of Moe Moon’s hand – nice role model, Moe! Smoking and drinking on the job!
