…apparently the first one to give in to Cassie’s sugary sweetness is Ashley. Just goes to show that continuous high exposure to Nutboys weakens one’s ability to be a begrudging bitch all day. (And all that Nutboy radiation also apparently mutates people into crazy-rubber-necked freaks who use the word “creepers” as if it was an actual word someone would ever use.)
5/21/10
…and it’s time for the classic Thorpian move: A motivational lockerroom speech to get everyone to stop being pissed! Hopefully for Ashley it’ll work better than Brendan Zollar’s speech, you know, that one where everyone was mad for some reason. Much different than today, obviously.

Damn, I had to read AssLey’s speech a few times before it made sense. I thought it was just a bunch of words just put together haphazardly.
Okay, now that we’re all friends, let’s go and shave our heads in solidarity.

“Oh, c’mon Ashley … we’re high school girls! Holding a grudge is what we’re all about! It’s not too much effort to be mad, and we’re not nearly done! Let’s all send cruel text messages about Cassie … it’ll be fun!”

Oooh, Derek is going to get some hot “thank you” loving from Cassie tonight!
Who is the guy in the girl’s locker room standing behind Ashley’s right shoulder in 5/21 panel #2?

Okay, so one of the two spring plotlines has been quickly disposed of. Now we can get back to Tuck the Asshole Bassist, who’s gotta be even more pissed off now that Derek’s got a girlfriend.
Derek and Cassie’s “first date” consisted of guzzling Gutbusters in the Swifti-Mart parking lot. Derek’s clearly one of the “creepers.” Not sure where Cassie belongs on that list.

Just the usual drunks, slugs and creepers. You know, Marty Moon(Drunk),your ex-fiance(Slug), your ex-pretend boyfriend(Creeper), and of course the Thorp family(Drunk creeper slugs).

5/20 panel 3 really is one of the more remarkable drawings in recent milfordiana. I wonder if the Whigster set out to draw Ashley standing up– with neck oriented like her present right sleeve– and changed his mind. That upper body bears no resemblance to any living thing I’m familiar with. But maybe thinking about drunks, slugs, and creepers has that effect…

Drunks, creepers, and slugs, oh my! Drunks, creepers, and slugs, oh my!

LOL jules!
What I don’t get is how Ashley’s response to “Have you been busy at Swifty Mart?” answers the question.

Did Ashley always have that mole? I think she needs to see a dermatologist soon; she may be at risk for skin cancer. The last time cancer came up in the strip, we had to look at a crazy bald chick and I certainly don’t need to see that again.

Gil’s Barber – I guess drunks, slugs, and creepers don’t keep her too busy. She’s got plenty of time to pilfer Nutboys when it’s just the drunks, slugs, and creepers around…they just want to buy their booze, salt substitute, and, uh…large coffee? (I’m trying to think what a “creeper” would want. Who the hell knows.) And then they’re on their way.
Did I say “pilfer Nutboys”? Ew.

What does a creeper want?
Why, to creep you, of course!
Hey honey, after you’re done restocking those nutboys, hows about I creep you right in the beer aisle?
Comment by Ned Ryerson — May 22, 2010 @ 8:34 am
Oh yeah, love the salt substitute line Jules.
Comment by Ned Ryerson — May 22, 2010 @ 8:38 am
That mole shows up for the first time in the 5/20 strip and is there in every frame afterward. Must mean something. Good call, #9 Wikitorix! Probably Cassie the Outcast will save Ashley “Nutboy” Aiello from melanoma or something.
Comment by vaganova — May 22, 2010 @ 2:55 pm
Yeah it goes without saying that someone buying salt substitute AND beer is a creeper. And Ashley says she’s “not busy?” She’s busy, all right.
Busy becoming another Mary Worth.
Comment by Gil'sBarber — May 22, 2010 @ 8:16 pm
Ah, but creeper is a word, or rather a name. Ashley was making an allusion to this character from Dolemite: Creeper, AKA the Hamburger Pimp:
Comment by Dennis — May 23, 2010 @ 5:03 am
I actually say “creeper” occasionally, and judging by the way I use it, “creeper” probably fits the clientele of Swifti Mart quite nicely. Creeper, stop creepin’!
Comment by Maggie — May 23, 2010 @ 2:02 pm
Maybe ashley’s talking about THIS Creeper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brute_Man

Yeah, Rondo Hatton! He was Milford Freak if ever there was one.
Comment by Ned Ryerson — May 24, 2010 @ 9:47 am
I see Ashley traded the cleft in her chin for a mole on her cheek.
