“Coach Thorp still in a funk over the Exner kid?”
“Uhhhhh…what?”
“Hey Kaz, quit staring at yet another oddly well-drawn butt crack!”
“Oops, sorry, slowly melting lady…um, yeah. Gil’s been moping in the Teacher’s Lounge doing shots out of his own freak hand for solace. Did you know there’s a flask in that thing? Also he turned his mug into a bong.”
“OK, good to know. Just remember to turn in your Nutboy report!”
“It’s shitty!”
Later at practice, we learn the ill effect that Cody’s absence has on the team: Without his monopoly over all local dope trafficking, Coach Shaw has now flooded the market with his ‘Happy Beard Guy Chronic’…Wicked strong stuff that’s reduced the team down to three chunky guys hugging each other, and wiped out Kaz’s ability to open his eyes. Too bad Gil treats Shaw like such crap, otherwise he might have gotten a free sample.
Ok we all know the real reason Gil is so depressed. The person he found to coach the team for him this season turned out to be a pot dealer. Actually the real reason is he got caught and now is off at the “Alternative School”.
Once Cody turns 18 he’ll move to “Alternative Housing” and become “room mates” with Duncan’s brother. Cafeteria stabbing on the way!

YAY! The return of MMES! (Milford Melting Eyes to the uninitiated.)
I think Gil’s trying to wipe a booger as he sips his hot toddy and wonders how the hell he grew a head with a book in it’s tiny freak hand.
I’m liking Kaz’s Elvis sideburns. He’s a hunka hunka burning love!
Never mind pot…I think someone sold the guys in panel three some ecstacy. “I love you man!”
I don’t understand why Gil’s in a funk. When did he start caring about what his players did or didn’t do?

And when is JamJar going to get a well deserved beating for snitchin’ on their star player? I think JamJar needs to read this article before he calls the po po again: http://www.salina.com/news/story/New-Stop-Snitching-feature-for-Sunday-111210

Both mugs say “Gil.”

“Hey, anybody want to play football here?”
“No, we’re too distraught…oh #70! Hold me! *sob*”

Panel 1 – Shoe’s and shirt required at school, but pants, that’s an option.

Is it me or has Kaz’s hair gone from a sort of stylized mullet to something more like Daryl Hall circa 1990s in recent strips?

What a relief! I thought Kaz was talking to his girlfriend Kelly at first, and the months since Kaz and Gill’s double date to “The Pit” to see Slim Chance and the Longshots had not been kind to Kelly!
That is Kaz’s hand in front of Gil’s face in panel #2: “Hey Gil: this will cheer you up. Smell my finger – it’s Torry!”
You’d be playing football slowly too if you had trees glued to the top of your helmet, like the players in panel #3.

Looks like there’s gonna be trouble in Milford with a capital “T”.

Bracing myself for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving strip, which will feature Gil, Mimi, and the two kids they rent from the local taxidermist for each holiday…

Gil and his lackeys seem to have an awful lot of free time during the regular school day. Shouldn’t they be teaching gym or driver’s ed. or at least monitoring study halls? Surely Kaz could stop fights in the lunch room.

You know, I actually liked Cody the Unrepentant Criminal. His cheeky bitterness, his probably well founded belief that he would get off with a slap on the wrist. He was a fun change of pace. If this wasn’t a comic (ostensibly) about athletics, he’d have been a great character.
That said, I can’t help but feel that we’re in for some kind of painfully Halmark-esque resolution to the whole thing. And that Jam-Jar won’t get shivved. And really, that just makes me sad inside.

Can (may) Cody still associate with his friends?
At 17, he can drop out of school in most, if not all, states.
He must have other restrictions, besides staying in alternative school.
Cody shouldn’t know who ratted him out, but his suppliers will know he turned on them.

Look bro, bring Ned back. He posted his comments / interpretations every day. You are sporadic and inconsistent. You need to turn this endeavor over to Ned and you can supplement his postings when you have time.

[...] Shocking Panel 2 Revelation: The Goshen High Goshes have rebranded their school to the much slicker and sleeker “G High.” My take: The sign being cut off means the name is obviously longer…I’m guessing their new name is “Gil High School”, inspired of course by the popular local mug. [...]
