The star of this strip is Steve the Disco Referee. You can’t see it but he’s definitely shaking his hips while signaling a touchdown behind that pile of players. A touchdown is being scored there? Okay, if you say so Steve.
Oh yeah, Cody Exner’s hair issues a warning to Jamarr.

Two minutes to go and…oh my, it’s a ufo landing on the football field! Quick, deploy the telescoping pushbroom! It’s our only hope!

It’s the season of Steve, the Disco Referee, baby! It’s great how a walk-on actor can totally own a bit role, like the bespectacled, professorial tiny-handed Chain Gang Man. “The nose of the oblate spheroid has clearly matriculated beyond the point indicated by the V-V device … ”
Nice sippy cup, Marty! Is he grimacing because of all of the uncompleted things on his bucket list?

The Owls? The other team is the Owls?? I love owls, I really do, with their big earnest round eyes and teeny little ears – but they don’t seem like an impressive football mascot. Might be impressive if they’re playing against the Mice, or the Chipmunks, I guess.
Of course, it just now occurred to me that I don’t even know what Milford’s mascot is. And I’m too lazy to go look it up, so that’s the end of that. Off to COFFEESHOP to perk myself up!

Steve the Disco Referee isn’t signaling a touchdown there — he’s doing the Y-M-C-A dance.

Jules, it’s the Milford Mudlarks. Now, does anybody know what the hell a Mudlark is?

Owls vs. Mudlarks: There’s not enough Milford Stars to line that birdcage.

The owl was the mascot of my elementary school.

From where I’m sitting it looks like over half the ball is past the marker. Wher’s Steve the Disco Refereee when you need him.

Oakwood’s mascot is the Owls, eh? Interesting to know, I guess.
In my asinine research into Gil’s coaching record last week, I was surprised to see how few teams’ mascots were named. Most of the teams that had their mascot named were non-Valley Conference opponents; Forest View Falcons, Wheat Ridge Farmers, Cherry Creek Bruins, Bryan Bears, and Newton Railroaders.
Until now, the only Valley Conference teams that I saw mascots for were the Madison Capitols and the Jefferson Jeffs (which may be more of a nickname than an official mascot).

I’m sorta fond of all these panels depicting sweaty characters. They’re like scenes out of an indie comic.

“But the visitors have weapons, too …” I guess so, as Steve, the Disco Referee, signals something amid a pile of bodies stacked like cordwood.

Chain Gang Charlie, that professorial-looking tiny-handed Chain Gang Man, is a proctologist in real life…..

#11 Rowdyman: The men are sure lucky for that given all those genetic mutated huge hands (–>index fingers) so many Milford folks have.

The ref should be determining if the 1st down is made, not the linesman. And I think he made it, but the angle is bad. Dood, Chain Gang Man’s face isnt shown, only his legs. The linesman has glasses. The chain gang has no part in officiating; they just move the chains. And the refs hat should be white, not black.

That was also for Rowdyman.

There is such a lack of action that even Marty Moon is falling asleep. (Either that or he’s had one too many.)

#16 Regina: I dunno, a third option is he could be pleasuring himself while leering at the cheerleaders…. or the Milford offensive line I suppose.
