Ah, we’re back to when BD wore a helmet 24/7.

The guy has already gotten his masters degree in prison. What can you offer him?

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Now BD can use NIL (Now It’s Legal).

Look for those with killer instincts.

More realistic than I wish it was.

Sure, come see me in ten to twenty years.

Looks more like he’s recruiting for Dallas or Baltimore pro teams..

They are either coming out or on the way back in…..Sorry but true.

Sam herself wouldn’t take much interest in football until she was a socially conscious left-wing gender-fluid adult.

Happy New Year!

Is that Paul Crewe on the other side of the glass?

Completely unrealistic; if he was good enough to recruit, he would have been given a pass for any crime.

Trying to figure out who the footballer is. Who was in prison when this strip first ran?

Every school does it, but it really means that there is no such thing as the hometown team anymore.

Our national bloodsport always needs new gladiators.

So Racist Gary, no need to show the skin tone of the convict/d-back.

“Sport, Sport, Masculine Sport / Equips a young man for Society.

Yes, Sport turns out A Jolly Good Sort, / It’s an odd boy that doesn’t like Sport!"

I wonder why some people feel the need to comment on a comic strip whose values they despise. I don’t care all that much, mind you, I just wonder. I don’t feel any need to comment on or even read “Mallard Fillmore.” Oh well.

Only the best for Walden U.
