That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Back then, after a touchdown you had the option to do a place kick, a dropkick, or run or pass to get the extra point in. Specialized kickers, as well as the idea of separate offense and defense squads, wouldn't come along until later in the 1940s.

Hessus sentään = "Dear Jesus" or "Jesus Christ" as an exclamation, but with the J changed to H and the S duplicated due to dialectic reasons.
Hessu = Goofy, the Disney character
Like in many other languages, exclamations like these eventually gain variations due to e.g. slang, dialects & not wishing to invoke Jesus' name unnecessarily. Examples from Finnish that came to mind are "Kiesus", "Jessus" and just "Sus", but I'm pretty sure I've never seen or heard "Hessus" specifically. Then again, in certain languages "Jesus" is pronounced as "Hesus" so this is probably just a case of me being unfamiliar with local sayings.

Jeremy is in high school, so no older than 18, but doesn't really talk about college applications or anything, so we'll say he's 17, which meant he was born in 1997 when this was published. Must have been some fun retro show his parents went to for kicks.

After the dire hillbilly arc, Scarlet's managed to pull out a real banger of a story with this one. Look at her go!

It's not that much more specific than the rest of his scenarios. I guess it's a "Write what you know" kind of thing.

It's a continuation of the sibling rivalry jokes even after the sister gets married and moves out. Same brother and sister, even.

In a Zits treasury book I have, Jeremy lists his birth date as July, 1984, which would make him my age. The strip's been running so long now (my book's from ~2004?) that Jeremy, Walt and Connie have gotten the Simpsons treatment when it comes to their ages.

It does seem like they've been updating his parents' cultural references somewhat more recently, but that may just be in my head. But even in 2014 that was a dated reference for people in roughly their mid-40s.
