    Years later, all of those girls will be in shoe stores, screaming at salespeople who tell them that they can’t fit into a size four::“FOUR FIT! FOUR FIT! FOUR FIT!”

    So, what was Carla’s question that she had? I didn’t see a single question mark in her speech balloons.

    Carla needs to be put down, now! She is the embodied demon of Political Correctness!

    She didn’t think this through.By forfeiting, she’s causing the other team to suffer when they realize that her team is suffering for their sake.It would have been better to trounce them and let the other team rejoice in her own fortune.

    They should take a hint from test cricket and end most games in a draw … after few days.

    Hey. At least Philosophy majors will be able to find work, as referees.

    I feel there are no winners AND losers- there are only winners and another group who will eventually return in vengeance. It’s a cycle needing to be sliced.

    If the girls are playing against Riebli Elementary, then they must be in Santa Rosa, CA.

    I suspect maybe Carla is an spy or an mole from Riebli Elementary or it could be that she had an close friend from the rival team. Either way that is the reason why she join the rat’s basketball and try to sabotage his team.

    I bet my dollar in the first guess cos do you people seriously believed that an girl like her age would know something about metaphysics unless someone teach her. It just like the movie ‘Men In Black’ where during a shooting test, Will Smith shoot the little girl cardboard just because it is illogical that a girl like her age would get an quantum physics book to read!

    Interesting bunch of comments. I have never liked competitive games either to play or to watch. The fun sports for me in school were running and swimming. I still love to swim laps (sprained an ankle in my 30s). I don’t even understand why men and women play games – I’m totally WYSIWYG!

    Go back to grammar school.

    I’m thinking that @Be M could be an ESL commenter and trying his/her best at English.

    So, how many googled Riebli Elementary? ;)

    HINT: It’s located in Santa Rosa, CA and must be thrilled for the shout-out.

    Rat discovers Karma. A kind of pun, if you will.

    This is an free discussion board. If you have an issue with grammar, please go back to your school and write a 100 times : I will not troll in an comic board and learn to respect other’s opinion without posting off topic comment to improve your writing skill instead. Posting here is really a waste of your ‘grammar talent’, didn’t you think?

    These girls are going to grow up to fin life isn’t fair. They’ve got that “everyone should win” attitude already that will make it very difficult for them to accept that you can’t win all the time. But sadly that is the world we’re living in now.
