Sooo, there’s a limited amount of time to develop a story for the season and we waste a panel on… a goddamn rain delay? Note to author: Just because something happens in real life doesn’t mean it’s necessary to show it in the comic.
Up next in the “Exciting Adventures of Everyday Life!” series*: Panels of Gil sleeping in various places, a few days of history class covering the presidency of Chester A. Arthur, and then…Kaz takes a dump after his morning coffee.
*Brought to you by Oakwood Tires, makers of America’s third-favorite aluminum white-wall tires. (“Air not included.”)

“Wait, you’re coming to the game too?”
“Yep, I gotta keep my eye on that freak-of-nature kid that trollop girl has. Did you notice he has the exact same head as me?!? Same size and everything. Weird, huh? I figure I should get in good with the family. That way I can have a donor lined up for a head transplant, you know…if I ever get decapitated.”
“Ummm. I like fries.”
Meanwhile…Foreshadowing!! (If only every third panel could get rained out.)
“It could get wild” — yeah, especially if Darby tries to gather DNA swabs from every male Goshen student attending the game. And then we’ll have Big Bob Stuff and Teeny Dinny trying to defend Darby’s honor and getting into a fight with the Goshen crowd. Things don’t look good for our boys until… Jaxxon transforms into The Hulk and flattens the Goshen campus.
Meanwhile, back in Milford, the rain continues to fall and Gil’s drinking goes out of control.

Getting knocked up wouldn’t be much of a scandal unless whoever spawned this creature is a teacher/coach instead of a student. When they arrive and the Goshen coach looks like the Mets mascot (Mr. Baseball), with a head the size of a medicine ball, we’ll know who the cum dumpster gave it up to. I’m stll leaning towards Mr. Baskt.

5/7 Sooooo true, Jason. With all the possible sturm und drang we waste a panel on the freakin’ weather. Adding to “EAofEL” –> Given his advanced age Gil too, takes a dump after his AM coffee [laced with joy juice]; then he puts on another Depends(TM).

Big Bob, a word of advice: NEVER attempt to woo a girl after eating a plate of chili fries. Chili fry breath and gas is not an attractive quality.

Looks like there’s going to be a bunch of guys jumping on the Darby train in Goshen!
“Relax, they won’t even remember you…you were a much lousier lay back then!”
“Oakwood tires..they’re shitty!”
Is Big Bob Stupid spouting random sentences in the first panel of the third strip or is he just high?
I see Darby O’Gill kept freak boy home. This isn’t the best time to spring that monstrosity on the unsuspecting father(s).

No doubt things will get wild in Goshen. Of course, “wild” in tank-town Milford means cardboard bikinis, trips to Charleston, and paint roller aces.

5/7 panel 2: Who committed the 2 Milford errors?
Also, Milford “aborbs” its first loss?

^ I’m not “surpised”.

“aborbs” = “aborts” + “absorbs.” Freudian slip?
