Oddly enough, 4 "kids" charged w/ assaulting opposing quarterback in a football game last fall.

Money quote
According to the report, after the ball was snapped, Star players "attacked and assaulted" the Lutheran player, who said he was picked up by two Star players and "body slammed" to the ground.

"They then kicked him in the head, kicked him in the chest and twisted off his helmet," according to the police report released to The Detroit News on Tuesday.

Stilt, feel free to kill this if you feel it's political, I'm just putting it out there as an 'art imitates life' illustration

@Pete(Detroit)- Well, I'm not sure if that's political as much as it is just plain depressing.

@Suzy- Glad you liked it! Actually, Mrs. Jarlsberg looked at today's cartoon and said "I don't get it." I then explained it and she said "Oh - I guess I did get it, but I thought I must be missing something." Ouch! But in fairness, this is an unusually silly cartoon; I have no good explanation for why Medical Book Girl is suddenly talking like Tarzan.
