Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for November 09, 2014
Transcript:
Pasquale: Look, daddy! I found momma's pom-poms! Jimbo: And her cheerleading outfit! The first time I saw your mother was at a football game...she was cheering for the opposing team... "I noticed her right away..." "She had so much charisma..." "I felt her energy from across the field..."I couldn't take my eyes off of her..." "I waited for her after the game, but I never said a word..." Pasquale: Why didn't you say something to her? Jimbo: I couldn't...I lived by a code..." "The school mascot never speaks while in costume."

Somehow, I can’t imagine Rose as a cheerleader. But I CAN picture Jimbo as a mascot!

Sweet!Can’t remember any other origin stories in this strip, and I’ve been reading since 1991.

Plus the fact that they were supporting opposing teams…
Pretty star-crossed, if you ask me.
Fortunately, their relationship didn’t end in tragedy.

Mascot Costume sounds like a convenient excuse for being shy.

I remember the strip where Jimbo chided Rose for never putting things back where she found them, and she dropped him off at the Do Drop Inn.
