Indie beauty and the jock


Is there a single store in the country that would rent rollerblades or skateboards? And even if there were, do you think they would mangle their stock in order to appease a single customer? Maybe Moose showed them some of his 'roid rage and that was that.

I love Midge's lingering surprise. The first panel shows them clearly in the city, while the third panel shows them out in a suburban area zoned for residences. Meaning that they had not just recently left the shop, but skated for a few miles. Maybe she's still aghast as the mongoloid she's ended up with?

However, probably my favorite thing in this strip is how frightened the clerk seems in panel two. "Please don't assault me because I was honest with you!" Moose seems to have turned his broad shoulders into property-wrecking roller-skate boards.

Also, Midge seems to adore Roxy Epoxy, from the miniskirt to the hairstyle to the cleavage-revealing ripped shirt in panel three. At least someone in Archie is with it.
