Smells Like Team Spirit

Smells Like Team Spirit

As noted on a previous post, there’s just something funny about fans who think they truly are part of a sports team. They use “we” to talk about the team, and sometimes will even talk about strategy on the field they personally need to implement. Better yet are those fans who think their mundane life choices are the difference between a win or loss (i.e. “I only wear black socks on game day!”).

Coaches must get tired of the “we” when winning, because they remember it wasn’t often there when they were losing.

Undefeated Season

Undefeated Season

The Racers of Murray State University (where Professor Hobo began) are currently 21-0, and the last undefeated team in men’s college basketball. Pretty cool, huh? Yes, though suddenly everyone feels like they had some part in it. That’s the weird thing about sports–everyone feels they’re on the team.

Oh well. Go Racers.

Banned Books Week

Banned Books Week

This week actually is Banned Books Week for those unaware. As celebrated by the American Library Association, the point of this week is to celebrate “Intellectual freedom—the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular.”

Our comic’s history certainly makes this personally very important to us. You don’t have to like all media that’s out there, but you should respect its right to exist, even if its ideas run contrary to your own.

Newfound Knowledge

Newfound Knowledge

Coach T is so proud of everything he says, does, thinks, or perhaps even passes by on the street. Pairing him with someone arrogant like President Czar usually results in humor, regardless of what we do. This is assembly line humor.

Puddles

Puddles

We had a bit of trouble with this strip. The last line went through about three rewrites. It originally referenced Raiden, the Japanese god of thunder. We ended up thinking that was perhaps too vague, and for most people an old fashioned Zeus call out would work best.

Whip Into Shape

Whip Into Shape

This strip originates from watching a real college football practice in the rain. It didn’t seem safe, but more than that it didn’t seem like much fun. I would have taken an umbrella with me while I ran drills.

Spin Control

Spin Control

From experience, I know sometimes trying to work PR in a situation looks a lot like this.  Of course, that’s made even worse when the two people trying to spin a story are equally stupid and evil, as they are here.

What will be the eventual fate of Coach T?  Most likely everyone will forget about him when a new scandal, or strip, emerges.

New Uniforms

New Uniforms

In writing a comic strip I often find myself feeling like Paul Verhoeven defending Starship Troopers.  Listen to him sometime emphatically deny that the film is pro-Fascist, and then wonder who could watch it and think it anything else?

That’s how we often feel with strips like this.  Of course Coach T. is an idiot.  Didn’t we already spell it out?

Concussion Closet

Let’s just all pretend that this comic stands entirely separate from real world events and does not relate in any manner whatsoever.  There, wasn’t that fun?  Seriously, who is really deluding themselves when they start to view placing people in storage rooms as treatment.  Just saying.

There’s a lot of hockey played on this campus.  A suspicious amount of hockey.
