P2: You talkin to me?P3: Please don’t stop. Give me your V-I-C-tory lap. Pun intended.

About a month ago, I suggested that this was going to happen to Vic. I don’t think he is going to be eating with the guys over the next few weeks.

Seeing as Doonesbury just had the storyline, I wonder if this is Vic’s Winter Fantasy playing out.

I always do that too, tell people I have something I want to ask them later and then walk away. People love that, I find.

P1 Don’t let Tessi get close to your junk if she’s using her right hand to squeeze things. How does she hit all those 3’s with that claw anyway?

P2 Stop using my popularity as a crutch for feeling sorry for yourselves that I am distancing myself from you

P3 Says Tessi as she slips Vic a note to meet her in the janitor’s closet at 2 when the Mopman is resurfacing the gym floor with the Zamboni machine.

What’s with the ants on dude’s face making him look like he hasn’t shaved – ever?

P1: Seeing Tessi walk away brings to mind this hit from 1960: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjjMH_PdCvI

P1- Yesterday, I thought Vic was talking with Wll Thayer. Now he’s chatting with Terry Rapson? Egad! With that clam digger, she is the spawn of Oswald Cobblepot. However, from the rear view, safe to say she doesn’t waddle when she walks.

P1, She thought it was the Charmin.

P2, Mopman’s been working overtime on those cafeteria tables.

P3, It’s usually the girls with the mustaches in this strip.

This could end up being a great story if Vic takes Tessi to the prom in a sort of gender versed “Carrie” ending.

P 4 (Vic): “…Ok….no problem…what you’ve probably heard is true but I can show it to you later to prove it…”

Does this question have anything to do about the frankfurter giveaway?

I agree with CK. Tessie is horrid. Why doesn’t she just ask him to announce the girls’ games?

I’m surprised the food doesn’t slide off that table

More evidence that this is not an accurate portrayal of HS anywhere in America; a boy gets “squeezed” on the arm by a good looking girl and they do not look at her when she walks away; too much testosterone flowing to not be admirers!

Later in the day , Hi Vic , Oh Hi Corina , in all reality , I have something to tell you later . See you later Vic .

I’ve been watching a lot of mysteries on TV. When someone says “I have something to tell you, meet me later”, they end up dead.

So based on Doug’s expression, he is not being facetious? He really thought she does that all the time?

Gee, Tessi, don’t rush into anything. You just want to ask him to announce the girls games. Is it really necessary to compliment his voice and squeeze his arm, then the next day stop him to tell him that you don’t have time to ask him something (despite the fact that you could have used the time to tell him that to ask your question)? Then come back yet another day and maybe finally ask your question?

I assume she’s doing this to lead him into thinking she wants to get hot and heavy with him. And if she keeps batting her fake eyelashes at him he’ll say yes to the PA gig without even realizing what he’s doing. Then once he’s committed to the job, “Um, hello? Do I know you?”

And speaking of commitments, it’s not that big of a commitment to read Mopped Up Thorp every day.
