“Hey Ma. Thanks for getting here so quickly! This place is scary…they say the ghost of Bing Crosby shuffles through the halls, pretending to be a doctor!”
“Well, it was a pretty long trip, or maybe it wasn’t? We had that loser Coach Shaw drive us all the way from Milford. He had nothing better to do, and it really wasn’t very far from here…Or wait, was it?”
“Oh and thanks for covering up the high beams you normally have goin’ on at home.”
“Well the jacket’s just for this cold room…how do you think I got us all in here past visiting hours…and got the guard, (who I presume exists, since somebody is supposed to be, you know, WATCHING A PRISONER when he’s not in JAIL??) to go home early?”
“That was quite the parenthetical aside, ma.”
“Thanks!”

“So Campo said somethin’ about my face taunting me, reminding him of ’1970s Bush’. Then he whipped out that pointy thing from his pants and pricked me repeatedly. What a dick!”
Prison Rape Jokes: The staple of any good blog entry!
‘Some sort of knife’ maybe he was giving you a hard time for not picking up on prison slang…

We keep being told that Catawba Correctional is a “minimum-security” facility. I guess that means: when a chow hall fight turns into a stabbing, there’s no security around.

Bing Crosby?! That’s Robert Young as Marcus Welby, M.D. Geez!

It’s North Carolina….until your SECOND murder conviction, you are sentenced to minimum security. They feel anyone can have an off day. Duncan was sitting next to Compo in shiv class, he should have seen it coming…

I’m sorry, why are prison rape jokes funny, exactly? I don’t get it. I guess violent sexual assault just doesn’t make me laugh, even if it’s happening to men in prison.

Emily, dear, I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Jason was being ironic.

Sourbelly, dear, I don’t think “ironic” means what you think it means.

I think the doctor is Leslie Nielsen.
Also, Dummy Daley looks like Maynard G. Krebs. http://www.dslretorts.com/Paladin/archives/000825.html
That being said, I think Dummy has his left hand sewn on his right arm. I tried doing that with my right hand and almsot snapped it off.

Mrs. Daley looks a lot like Marcie the reporter. I thought it Was Marcie, and she was saying “Thanks for slowing football season to a crawl, so I dont have any work to do.”

Danny Daley, another Gil Thorp character created using Wooly Willy technology.

The evesdropping Doctor is more Bob Hope than Bing. Even more like Spiro Agnew or maybe George C. Scott (a Toledo native).
Whoever he is . . he is missing his left upper extremity. Must have been shanked off with a shiv in a minimum security prison throwdown . . and the Doctor could not ‘heal thyself’.
Hope the asexual violent assault reference made you laugh, Emily . . and if not, “Lighten up Francis”.

Geeze guys, don’t you know Craig T. Nelson [the Dr.] when you see him?
Comment by semperfi4evr — November 11, 2009 @ 10:01 pm
Emily…it’s a freakin’ comic, not the New York Times editorial page. Lighten up. Everything said here is tongue in cheek. “Drill him Daley”. or is that Daily?

No one will know about Barry’s big game, though, mr 12 oz can, since maybe 6 people go to Milford games, Marty Moon is broadcasting from a crate, and Marjie Ducey of the Milford Star is in North Carolina visiting Danny Daley.

What happened to Mr. Bakst?

#8, Shira dear, consult a dictionary. Thanks.

Dez Barry? DEZ? Bet he likes Nutboys.

Mustache-Mullet-Man in panel 2 of the 11/11 comic is one of the better background characters we’ve seen under Wigham.

Danny needs to learn to use his “words”
Comment by Freehawk — November 13, 2009 @ 1:17 pm
Emily’s right, rape jokes aren’t funny.
Comment by The Wrath of Oliver Khan — November 14, 2009 @ 10:41 am
Sat. – when do you ever hear an announcer say there’s an ‘offensive player’ down.? He’s obviously revealing that he’s in a comic strip. (I thought they were supposed to act like they wern’t.) And Bob doesnt remember that Daley isnt there, and he’s calling for him to play offense, tho he’s a defensive player. Confusion! And those fences – how can you play football that close to them?
Comment by Rob — November 14, 2009 @ 10:49 am
24. Rob: Eeeeyyiiii, you called it! Cornfuzion for sure. Poor Neil must have the swine flu and is scripting under delerium fer gawd sakes. Another explanation involves an over consumption fermented potables…

Rob: Earlier this month Dunk was in the huddle, suggesting that he goes both ways…
Comment by rowdyman — November 15, 2009 @ 9:19 am
It was actually Oct. 29, last month. But you’re right – before the season the coaches say he looks more focused – on both sides of the ball. But that has to wear anyone down. Good thing they dont play that often.
