I note the author chooses Mildred as the name of the villain. That’s a name that peaked in the 1910s (as the #6 name) but hasn’t been in the top 2000 US names for girls since the 1990s (and #1739 then). No sense offending part of your audience.
Focusing on an opponent’s past is less productive than focusing on your own future. Going in, North is the favorite.
Nancy could ask Tesla to sponsor the battery pack. NASA would be delighted to provide air tunnel time. Aunt Fritzi could easily distract the East dads giving South a lesson subterfuge along the way. Etc.
On Monday: Mildred and Nancy note that neither of them were in Saturday’s strip – the last one of this year’s robot arc – so they then complain to OJ about it :)

Don’t tell me we’re stuck with a mopey Nancy for the next year.

OJ ingeniously wrapped up this year’s Robotics Competition story arc like they would always wrap up the ending of an episode of Seinfeld.

OJ’s been watching anime, I think.

North is usually in the top spot,

So, I don’t get it. If the Magnet School won top spot, and Mildred is in the Magnet School, wouldn’t that mean that Mildred is invincible?

For synchronicity’s sake, I always drink OJ while reading this strip

I guess the Robo Tournament Arc is finally over. Next up: 100 strips of FILLER?! Aw, c’mon!

South thinks all the others must be thinking the same as he is. Lol, OJ digs at everyone!
