I previously theorized that the tickets were acquired by Kevin's Mom, Kevin's dad acquiesced to the arrangement, but bailed on them at the last minute.

My opinions on what's going on here have flipped 180�. I think the mascot is Kevin's dad. He did obtain the tickets, but he also did have to work on the night of the match, and doesn't want anyone to know he's the mascot. He's staying silent so that Miles' Dad doesn't recognize him.

My guess is that the mascot is the wrestler they snuck into the dressing rooms to see

Yeah, that was my guess also. I shouldn't be surprised, because it's a good comic, but I'm very invested in these boys having the best day ever. :3:

Yeah, that would also be consistent and possibly makes more sense. I hadn't thought of that. I just thought this might be a good spot for Kevin's dad to do a face turn, if that was going to happen.

The_Other: Dec 28, 2012; Welcome Back, Galaxy Geek.

So I've been reading Harpo Speaks!, the autobiography of Harpo Marx, when I came across this passage that might be of intrest to the readers in this thread. It takes place in 1928, a year Harpo spent on the French Rivera with his friend Alexander Woollcott. One evening Harpo ended up visiting Peggy Hopkins Joynce an American actress who had villa there.

Harpo Marx posted:

Then she surprised me. She rang for the butler. She said to him, "You may bring my books now." The butler bowed and left the room.

Books? I didn't get it. Dirty books maybe?

The butler returned. He laid a stack of six books in my lap, bowed, and departed. The Books were beautifully bound in hand-tooled leather. I looked at the titles. The titles were: "Mutt and Jeff," "Bringin Up Father," "Krazy Kat," "Tillie the Toiler," "Barney Google," and "The Katzenjammer Kids." They were collections of comic strips � not the dirty kind, but the kind that appeared in the funny papers.

Peggy Gave a little giggle and curled up on the divan with her head on my shoulder. "Read to me Harpo," she purred.

I read.

I read though the whole drat stack of comic books, beginning to end. Peggy Hopkins Joyce didn't know how to read, but she sure knew her literature. She knew it by heart. Whenever I made the slightest mistake, she corrected me.

The first mistake I made was to leave out the sound effects in a sequence where Jiggs came home late from playing poker and eating corned beef and cabbage and got waylaid by Maggie with her rolling pin.

"No, no!" Peggy howled, interrupting me. "You didn't read it all! You didn't read the 'Bam! Bang! Sock! Pow!' part!" I backtracked and read the bam-bang-sock-and-pow part and she was happy again.

I caught hell for leaving out a couple of glubs, half a dozen zowies, and a flock of zams, ulps and gulps, but otherwise I managed to struggle through the books without a hitch. And all the time Peggy kept tittering and squealing and fiddling with her toes and squirming all over the divan. No doubt about it. She was having her fun.

When I closed the covers on the sixth and final volume, I was exhausted. I stood and said that I'd enjoyed the dinner and thanks very much but it was getting late and I'd better be heading back to Galanon.

I haven't read that myself, but I understand Harpo had a few thoughts about Neysa (Deathless Deer) McMein too.

This is like the third TWtD in a row that does "But Now! WOW!" for "women are actually doing things" and I'm beginning to think Art Beeman is less "mad about it" and more "horny for it."

Also I welcome the surreal Zits, and that Dustin can go gently caress itself right to hell.

October 11, 1913, from the Wikipedia timeline: "The day after President Victoriano Huerta dissolved parliament in Mexico, Britain's Sir Lionel Carden greeted the President as the new British Minister to Mexico, which the United States inferred to be a British attempt to gain Huerta's alliance." Shame on you, Britain. Anyone in the US government in 1913 could tell you that tampering with Mexican politics is a Washington job.
