   And the dead are grateful for it!

   Big Nate and Mini Charley will save the day, and bring the gnarly surf!

   Good morning, crew!

   How many rounds of championship playoffs can a 12-team ‘top flight’ league have?

   And that’s where the big money is for a Super-Conference.

   Even cutting that down from 80 to 32 teams (a la the NFL), you’d end up with 6-6, 7-5 “playoff teams” in a 16-team playoff field.

   (But who are we kidding, if they get ‘free’ of the NCAA, the new lords of college football will jack it up to an 18 or 20 game regular season schedule.)

   Joel and Rufus still riding around town in a donkey cart, that’s certainly an anachronism in the strip.

   (Not to mention a featured male character named Allison.)

   I misremembered a song lyric as ‘forever and a day’… the song being “Captain of Her Heart” by a group called Double, the actual lyric being ‘not only for a day’.

   Oh, well.

   Speaking of blowing it, someone on the tweeter pointed out that the 4/25/73 GA classic strip doesn’t open up to full size when clicked on. So I went ahead and did a re-post which seems to be working fine.

   (Thanks for pointing that out to me, and don’t hesitate to give a shout when there’s an apparent error.)

   So to recap, there now four posts that make up a three-part classics update for the 25th, which went up Thursday evening … and the tranche for Friday the 26th, I’m hoping to get something up by this coming afternoon.

   But she’s noticeably aged over the years, all that edumacation may have robbed Miss Melba of her timeless immortality.

   Or as I imagine Joel would say it.. her “timeless immorality”…

   Simon Bar-Sinister? A reference to Simon Bar-Sinister??

   At last, the classics update for the 25th makes it in under the wire, and it’s in three parts:

   Horse’s Neck sets out to go for a drive, but can’t go after all because he went and got bombed.

   I presume that Awful Natural and Swede Anne Natural have conceived of an off-spawn the natural way.

   Pert was too cheap to have his property surveyed by a professional, so he’s stuck with a deed that marks the line based on the position of a creek!

   Note that our next update should arrive Friday afternoon. The management appreciates your patience : )

   Louie looks very comfy up there on the bed, but I have to wonder about Pirates who work for an hourly rate, rather than divvying up proceeds from the latest raid.

   Maybe Nate is asking for a bigger cut, considering the crew has been downsized over the years, hehe.

   Good morning, crew!

   If you see any of his teeth, I hope you have the trunk room to clear the deck.

   Good morning, crew!

    I was wondering when he was going to address the elephant in the room.
