Skull's trying out for a basketball mascot? In Seattle?

Hasn't Seattle been without a professional basketball team for about five years now?

Upside: Art is great on that strip.
 
And it might be poetic license. I mean, even if they were in a city with a real team, he might've opted for a non-existent team name simply to keep things simple as far as legality and fan issues go. The New York Knicks might or might not like Skull as a mascot - the Seattle Pandas (or whatever) won't care, since they don't exist :p

I hope he doesn't get the job because he was auditioning for a baseball team and the tryouts just happened to be in a gym.
 
it will be a brilliant miscarriage though. The baby will be born, but the aliens from the old halloween arcs will come down and kidnap it, and it will only bring the group sad memories that they will quickly get over and completely forget about. Not technically a miscarriage, but same result.
 
1st panel: Jade gives birth in front of the entire PvP team at hospital. (revealed to all be there in previous strips, all through random circumstance)
2nd panel: Skull pops baby in his mouth.
3rd panel: Brent yells at Skull "What the hell are you doing, Skull?!"
4th panel: Skull nonchalantly spits tiny skeleton at Brent.

...until the David Tennant Doctor from Brent's troll-fart-induced hallucination comes in to seek the child by any means necessary, including an alliance with Madeline's winged sisters.

Francis and Marcy babysit the infant. Hilarity ensues, and they lose the baby. The storyline abruptly ends, and we never see the child again. It's gone to the same farm Kurtz sends all his ancillary characters.

It'll have plenty of open space to run and play though right?
 

Ooooooooooooh, so close! This would've worked a lot better if it were three panels and ended on the May 24th line with maybe a witty comment from the doctor as a tag rather than having Brent recycling a crap punch line. And of course we have the infamous Kurtz silhouette which once again feels completely useless.
 
Is the joke in this one that Brent and Jade have sex so infrequently they both know the exact date they could have conceived in two week period?
 
Generally, a date of conception can be inferred from date of last period, and I don't think an OB/GYN would say 6-8 weeks along. Though I'm only speaking from my personal experience. I could have told you the exact date of conception of my daughter for sure, because we were actively trying to get pregnant then, haven't Jade and Brent been doing the same?

I can see the end of the pregnancy arc...Jade and Brent see their baby for the first time, Jade, exhausted from the ordeal, gently saying, "He has your eyes."

And the kid's got sunglasses on.
