9/23/10
Cody Exner and Marcus Tedford, exhausted from their labors, decline Duncan’s invitation to go to the park. The park? Of course, the park, don’t you know we’re running out of warm nights? Besides, the park has a lovely fire pit (either that or they set fire to the kiddie merry-go-round, which is very hard to keep lit.)
9/24/10
Speaking of lit, Duncan is enjoying a delicious Yoo-Hoo brand malt beverage and reciting bumper stickers, while JamJar reveals that he doesn’t know that cool kids don’t hang out at the park after games. They fight circle saws and….hey wait a minute! Something shady is taking place in this very same park! Somebody is buying something for fifty dollars! Varsity-level stuff, eh? This better be weed and not steroids. Everybody knows that shadowy people in the park sell weed and raged out freaks in the gym sell steroids.
Why is Coach Shaw selling Gil’s collection of pre-game pep talks to some guy from New Thayer? Varsity-level stuff indeed.

Obviously Ray (aka Pizza flipper) has a new business venture.

So half the starters aren’t “breaking curfew”?
Nice to see Druncan is still at it… but just because we SEE him drunk doesn’t mean we can prove it. That still works, right?
Varsity-level stuff indeed, none of that JayVee or Goshen-level cocaine.
Perhaps Hutch Renfro decided to live up to his moniker as Milford’s number one “dealer” instead of using it as a cute remark about his poker skills… Most likely we’re in for the same bait-and-switch we had with Renfro’s introduction, that or Exner and Tedford are buying greenies.

Milford economics: What’s the price point for JV-level stuff?
Comment by Dood — September 24, 2010 @ 9:08 am
I say it’s Gil selling Marty Moon some bathtub gin.
That Yo-Hoo must be potent! Check out the smoke coming outta it!
Is Tedford doing a Milford PSA by giving himself a breast exam?

Is that Torrey Peake and Chris Stiles sitting by the merry-go-round fire?
Comment by Dood — September 24, 2010 @ 9:32 am
It must be center Jeff Karoub buying the steroids. He heard Marty on the radio talking about how he was only 190 pounds so now he’s on the roids. The one time someone listens to Marty and look what happens.

I like how Duncan drinks his YooHoo with his pinkie extended. Very lady-like. Don’t do that when you’re visiting your brother in prison.

Maybe the pusher man is Clambake, marketing mix tapes of his homespun athletic advice.

9/24 panels 2&3 were done by the well-known reality show South Park, but with better lighting.

What’s up with the “Boys of Milford” calendar shoot in panel 1 of 9/23?

Chief Whigham, let’s make a deal: Going forward, we readers will just assume that the kids playing football are always sweating. That way, you can stop drawing those grisly melting faces, and we won’t have to look at them. Win-win, right?
Thanks in advance.

I sense a Cody & Marcus led Milford run to the PLAYDOWNS, only to be ruined by a doping scandal.
Comment by gwilo — September 24, 2010 @ 5:18 pm
It could be a doping scandal, gwilo, but this is Milford, where scandals as often as not involve cardboard bikinis. Unless one of the two shadow people is Cody or Marcus, and they don’t appear to be, I suspect that against the backdrop of the cheating at golf story over the summer, someone is selling a playbook.

My first reaction when the price of $50 came up under the bridge was that one of the players had “switched teams,” so to speak. What a relief to learn that it’s only drugs being bought and sold at night in the park.

#14 vaganova: Playbook? That must be one hell of a beer-soaked, cocktail napkin to fetch fifty bucks in the shady side of the park district. On it are scrawled several doodles of Cully Vale stabbing Marty Moon through the head with a machete and random textual notes such as, “Try not to punt on third down” and “Lavoris masks even the most aggressively bottom-shelf blends, hey I should have been in advertising, what? 2:00 am already, but I’ve still got room on this napkin for at least one more affirmation and/or trick play imported from the Eisenhower era, yeah I’m writing this down, you got a problem with that? Oh shit, did I drive here or am I home already? Okay, still have my pants on, so I’m not home yet. No wait, maybe I’ve got that backwards. Who else has pants on?”

Yoo-Hoo is a chocolate soft beverage. Kind of like Nestle’s Quik and water. Oh, yeah, and add just a tad over 7 oz of Rum and you’re cookin’, Son!

[...] of repetition, everybody assume park positions! Black t-shirt guy, raise your arms! You, by the fire pit, twist your legs around! Cargo pants guy, [...]
