Would be a whole lot easier to get up had they won, right?

Tomorrow's Friday Fun will be in color.  Might be fun.

TIE YOUR LACES

Four years. Not all of them great, mind you-- but every one of them had their share of magic.  I think I already said "Okay, this is the last strip about Shoelace" or something to that effect about three times now-- but I couldn't help myself.  One last hurrah, before Denard Xavier Robinson puts on the cap of another football team, and closes a chapter in his life and another in ours.

Thanks, #16.

Tomorrow's Friday Fun will be a drawing that has something to do with Michigan.

TOUCH THE BANNER

These things have a life of their own sometimes.  I swore up and down this one was going to be regular size, with no extra panels or artwork. I was wrong of course. Sometimes it's really difficult to draw a comic strip when you see it so clearly in your head as an animated movie. The timing, the sound, everything is occasionally so clear in my head-- and the process of 'choosing' which scenes, or frames, to depict is a painstaking chore.

Hey Ace, you're pretty good with GIFs... maybe we can make an animator out of you?

The ongoing "DESMOND JOINS THE FOOTBALL TEAM"
storyline returns next week. Until then, this is for
Trey, Glenn, Tim, Nick, Mitch, Spike, and the rest of the boys...

THE RIDE

Very happy with how this one came out.  Obviously I have a storyline to get back to with Desmond, but I wanted to address the basketball team in some special way, let them know that we're far more thankful for the season than disappointed in that last game.

What a run.  Thanks guys.

Friday Fun tomorrow will be an ode to spring.  Yes, an ODE.

Because it's well, THIS WEEK, we interrupt the ongoing
"DESMOND JOINS THE FOOTBALL TEAM"
storyline to bring you...

WE ON

I was very tempted to title this one "THE SHOT," because twenty years from now that's what we'll be calling it.  And yes, we'll still be talking about it.

Good luck, boys... and thanks for the magic.

Friday Fun will pay homage to the team in perhaps a more stoic way.

When we last left off with our heroes...
DESMOND BLOCKHAM WAS IN AN ACCIDENT LAST WEEK
that may or may not have involved, well, a Twosie.  A tandem bicycle.
He was then DIAGNOSED WITH A STRANGE CONDITION which
in turn prompted him to attempt to walk on to the Michigan
football team.  After being mauled on a controversial play
that some readers say drew the ire of the football gods,
DESMOND WAS OFFERED A SPOT ON THE TEAM
by Coach Hoke. And so he was sent to the
equipment manager to get his uniform...

SPECIAL CHARACTER

(Click the Image to See Full Size Version)

Yeah, I know this isn't how it works. But pretty much every story I've ever heard about Big Jon Falk is that he's a pretty nice guy and has helped thousands of people out over the years.  Besides, we're talking about a scrawny kid who's been invited onto the team because of some bizarre medical condition straight out of a bad Syfy made-for-TV movie.  So perhaps you can suspend your disbelief regarding the appropriate process for assigning uniform numbers to walk-ons as well.
 

As of the time of this writing there are currently no semi-colon jerseys
available for sale at the MDen. But it is, after all, only spring.

Friday Fun will probably make fun of the word Jayhawk in some way. Go Blue.
