Either that or it’s the world’s vaguest premonition about a book that hadn’t been written when Darby made this strip in 2005: Take the Donut, A Kelly Clark Mystery Book Three (Volume 3).
I’m guessing that “take the donut” means scoring zero. I did a Google search and found nothing, not even in Urban Dictionary. I guess, I just took the donut.
Oh dear…quiet sweet Satchel has anger issues. It makes sense, since he only goes ballistic occasionally, like a toper who only falls off the wagon a couple of times a year…

It probably means “scored a zero”.

so, strip was written in 2005.12 years later and and soccer is still the sport no American cares about.

“Take the donut” Big fat 0. No goals. Can refer to a player or team. Is not a Brit thing – a regional (NE?) US expression.

This is Rugby, a bit like football without the body armour. The doughnut is the thing the kicker places the ball on to kick a penalty.
