Mary Worth 1,120

A major player... on a team that no one has heard of... in a league that doesn't exist. We're all so proud of our Bobby!

Gina's got a little Michelle Bachmann thing goin on with her eyes in this panel.

Do the Blazes play on Fire Island? That would explain Bobbie's fixation with spheres.

Oh, what sweet irony.....

Blue water? No, Gina. It's a trap. Something's been added...

It looks like Grumpy Greenshirt has left the building. I hope we see more of him.

Good one, anon@8.37a. And we'll be able to experience the game from Gina's front row seat!

I can see it now: Gina will become a groupie, following the New York Blazes around as if they were the Grateful Dead. Then, at the semi-quarter finals, she'll rise from the audience, just as Bobby Black prepares to shoot that goal, and she will shout "I LOVE YOU, BOBBY BLACK!" He'll miss the goal, the crowd will go crazy and Gina's ponytail will be cut off by soccer hooligans.

"A major player!" Is it really possible that Karen Moy doesn't know what that means?

Maude Findlay said...

Ah, Gina will end up the Posh to his Beckham! Maybe then she'll finally ditch that ponytail.

Who says "It seems..." when thinking to oneself?

Maybe Karen Moy knows all too well what a "major player on the field and off" means, BUT GINA DOESN'T! She's written Gina into a life fraught with cruel blows; why should she stop now? And someone who never even thought to Google her lost love until an elderly meddler advised her, might be a little lost on current slang.

After a Blazes game Gina runs into "her" Bobby partying with groupies; he doesn't remember her, and in a fit of anguish cuthrl (word verification)ponytail off and flings it him and his soccer ball!

I prefer to think of Bobby as a social worker who provides a safe haven for the former girlfriends of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. It's a thankless job.

Note to Karen Moy: Do you mean "major player" in the Tiger Woods sense? Somehow I doubt it. I expect Bobby has held out for his skateboarding sweetheart. "Oh Ponytail, someday I'll find you!"

BaHa said...

Being a native New Yorker, I'm apt to say "Oy!" Give Moy's klunky and unknowing use of words and phrases, I think I'm switching that to "Moy!"

Poor Bobby Black, he will never know what hit him...run Bobby run! Fire Island is just a boat away!

Thats not water left at the table, it's a special smoothie that COFFEE makes. 8 bucks retail.

Karen Moy is a chatbot.

Gina, I'm sure Bobby would never guess you ended up as a waitress at a Diner in a one-horse town like Santa Royale. You'll be a big disappointment to a major player like Bobby. Better lower your expectations and just try a blind date with young Dr. Corey.

I want to know how a guy who hasn't changed a bit on the outside since he was fourteen could be one of the most eligible players, either in soccer or with the ladies.
