“Hey, Chief! Do what do I owe the pleasure? I was just admiring the ‘Baseball Participant’ trophy I stole from Clambake.”
“You may want to put your pants on for this one, Gil…The Sheriff’s Office told me that one of your boys committed something called a ‘crime.’ I was wary at first, but apparently that marijuana we confiscated and is now sadly missing, is illegal! Cody Exner has been selling it…and the Sheriff’s Office has a VIDEO of it. Pretty good flick.”
“That little snot was selling and didn’t tell me? I’ve been going all the way to the Pit in Central City to score. Let me go talk with him.”
“OK, Gil, but just know I already bought his last dime bag…”

“No worries? You’re a drug dealer! With no product!”
“Somebody’s got to do it. Do you realize there’s no medical marijuana dispensaries in this tank town? I’m ready to fill the void.”
“That reminds me… You think you could spot me a score? I have glaucoma…See, my eyeball just exploded.”
“Sorry Coach, no freebies. I’m a businessman now!”
Cody’s cheerful “Somebody’s got to do it!” is filling me with glee this morning. Seriously. The kid gets caught selling drugs, and his response is, “Somebody’s got to do it!” Cody, I think I love you.
Also bringing joy this morning is the phrase “Baseball Participant trophy I stole from Clambake.” Hilarious, plus it made me forget all about the horrifying view straight up the Chief’s nostrils in Panel Three. Cheers, Jason!

Gasp! Coach Gil was… WRONG?????
My universe is exploding.

Aw crap, I just posted in the last thread.
See, I think Cody is covering for one of his friends. I know they have him on video, but things like this are implausably goofed up all the time in Milford.
Cody already gave up his own cash to cover Miles’ stolen cash. He’s selfless. He’s a hero. He’s a chump.
If this was a real law enforcement agency, they’d already have a wire on the creep and send him out to score from some murderous cartel (aka someone creepier than the pizza flipper).

Kudos to Gil Thorp for treating teen drug dealing with the seriousness it deserves.

Back to Derek Chance as the only stand-up person at Milford!
I fear we will see some smack from Jamjar now, as he called the police in the first place.
Plot line: without Exner, Milford loses games. Basketball season starts.
And why wasn’t Detective Kaz on the Exner case? EVERYONE is slipping at Milford!

No one sells dope in Milford outside of Chief Lind’s tightly organized multi-level marketing program! No one! Say, are those doughnuts?

Coach Shaw is bummed that his supply just dried up.

Why is Gil always harshing Cody’s mellow?
Comment by Dood — November 16, 2010 @ 1:04 pm
For murder or rape, 17 would be treated as an adult. Everybody knows selling dope is much worse than those. Cody needs a lawyer. Does he have one? Was he actually arrested or just threatened?
Why hasn’t he really been suspended? Just saying you’ll turn state’s evidence isn’t good enough. If you don’t say what the prosecution wants you to, they can still come back after your ass.

As usual, Gil is the last to know what’s going on with his little charges.
Thanks Jason for making a piece of popcorn go up my nose when I read “I was just admiring the ‘Baseball Participant’ trophy I stole from Clambake.”
I too am in love with Cody’s attitude. He would make a great pimp. “Hey somebody’s got to put those hos Torrie and Cassie out on the stroll.”
Now all we need is Kaz to come by and punch Cody’s head off for being a smug smart ass.

Who cares about pot dealing orphans? What is the deal with Gil’s sweater? It looks like it’s woven out of straw with stripes on the sleeve and a really ugly collar. Apologies to anyone wearing a sweater matching this description.

You know, it’s a pity Clambake can’t return to regale Cody with stories and homespun wisdom about how dealers used to roll. Why, he supplied some pretty famous jazz musicians back in the day …

Please, oh please have Gil’s next line be: “Exner, you have no idea what drug dealing is all about!”
Comment by Milfordian — November 16, 2010 @ 5:10 pm
