Valerie reacts to this game the same way we all are. Though in fairness to Jam-Jar, the only other person he could have dedicated the touchdown to was the weird in a suit with a bucket on his head.

Poor Murph “Wolfman” Wolman. He had to play the whole game behind a guy who snaps the ball out of the back of his skull. Who know back-ass-wards Pez dispensers could play center?
But wait…the game will go on into next week. Cry quietly to yourselves.

Hooray for the Wolfman! Despite his Mr. Potato Head arms, he holds onto the ball for the score and wins the game! Thanks a lot, Dumkin. Trees of Milford beware the post-game rampage.
Here it comes… what havoc will Dumkid Gonuts wreak now? We can only hope he’ll do Valerie’s bidding when Jam-Jar mouths off about the penalty and he spikes him like a volleyball. Oooof. Splat!

Gil: “What happened?”
Kaz: “You remember Duncan clobbered our QB? Well, now he clobbered the other QB so hard, the kid has the ball stuck to his hand. That’s him, in the end zone, trying to shake it off.”
Gil: “What’s the other penalty for?”
Kaz: “He asked the ref where the Valley Tech QB was, so he could clobber him too.”

This is what Cully Vale should have been.

Jar Jar Binks looks like he’s doing the twist in panel one.
I think in panel two, Wolfman is levitating the ball into the guy’s head.
Glad to see Marty’s still packed away, doing play by play in his crate.

Gil should dip into his Alumni fund and pay the Wolfman family to move to Milford. He can win games and he has a cool name.

I’ve never really understood football; chances are I’d have no idea what was going on even if it were well-drawn. (I sure do love the guy with the football stuck to his freak-hand, though.) See y’all at PUB after the game!

10/19, panel 3: It sure looks like The Wolfman has two left hands. To be a starting high school quarterback with that condition? Pretty damned inspiring if you ask me.

#7 And unless he has a friend with two right hands, he spends twice as much as any of the other players on gloves. I sure hope he gets a lucrative pro contract with a double glove budget clause. He should really be playing baseball, though. Think about how much demand there would be for a guy who is twice as left handed as anybody else.

Are those bullet holes in 10/19 p2. If so they are probably from two of Marty’s multiple failed suicide attempts. Get drunk covering Milford game, lose money mother’s rent money when Milford fails to cover 20 point spread, get drunker and fail in suicide attempt, wake up and start drinking again. It’s an old and familar story.

Is it me or does Marty’s headset look like he made it himself out of an oven dial and an old nasty Reach toothbrush?

The Murph is 90% heart, 10% left hands.
Comment by billytheskink — October 20, 2009 @ 6:52 am
Looks like Murph can’t get the ball unstuck from his hand. Can you see him trying to spike it?

#10– I’m going to go with oven dial and Reach toothbrush. Otherwise it looks a lot like a Sennheiser, which would be worth more than the rest of Marty’s gear combined.

10/16 panel #2 — Hey, Val: we know Jam-Jar is a loser, but make the “L on the forehead” with your right hand, not your left!
Comment by milfordian — October 21, 2009 @ 3:06 pm
#13 – the Sennheiser HMD280 goes for about $280, which is $271 more than they spent on that Cub-Scout-scrap-lumber-project pressbox.
