| Huh, it was almost exactly this time last year that Cleats did a bunch of fencing strips. Wonder what it is in RL that triggers them, given that it seems to reoccur annually.

-B | Hinds' daughter fences. There were some this spring-but since he has moved to gocomics.com, you can't view them on that site.
Edit: I think it takes a while to stock up on humor that anyone can get, not just fencers. I really like the "playstation grip" from yesterday's strip.

Here's one that sounds funny, but I never came across it: Quote: |

Remember the ones from last fall and this spring when Edith started fencing? I can't get to those. The AYSO site isn't hosting any more.
I emailed Bill about the older strips-he hasn't answered back yet.
Also, if anyone feels inclined to thank him for including fencing in the strip, his email is: cleatsmail@aol.com. | |

Nice thought about the email. | |
