        That’s the pitcher; Today’s the catcher (or do I have them reversed?). I would say that I don’t know the outfielders’ names, but that’s third.

      Because she’s only answering Brandi’s questions, and what little new she volunteers has no context.

    Bud reminds of a character in the last panel, but I can’t place it for the life of me. It’ll probably hit tomorrow before I go to bed.

    “I guess you could say Stinky was “piloting” the sub”
    “Stinky? Was that his nick-name?”
    “No, Stinky the giant octopus. You remember Stinky.”
    “Oh yeah, THAT Stinky! But … how did he fit in the sub?”
    “No, you loon! Look, it was a WW2 sub …”
    “Stinky piloted a sub in WW2!?”

        When you read you begin with ABC, and when you sing you begin with Do Re Mi. Would it follow that to begin a story you start with Listen To Me?

        Perhaps in this case followed by And Don’t Interrupt…

      In Brandi’s defense, Bud is explaining this poorly because she’s just answering questions without providing background. All Brandi’s got so far is Bud blew up Monica’s sandbar with a submarine crewed by skeletons, and a grenade figures in there somewhere. It’s no wonder she’s confused.

      Bud should poit to a volcano or furnace or something and burn all that crud off her before she messes up the carpet.

      • Jay-Em
        April 14, 2011, 12:32 pm | #

        Luckily Brandi didn’t start with: “Ohkay, deep breaths, deep breaths . Now start from the beginning” That would have ruined a perfectly good miscommunication-gag.

        Bud’s last ,exasperated ,annoyed face, combined with the hair slowly dropping, still has me in stitches…

    Well, when Bud first arrives kind of incoherent
    she sets off all sorts of Mom instincts in Brandy.
    And nothing gets better with time and explanation.
    I imagine in the next panel, Bud letting go with a teenagerish, Mommmm! with even more eye roll.

    So let’s see… Bud talked to a captain who was dead, but couldn’t answer, yet told of how he planned to sink the sub, which wasn’t sunk so Bud finds the chiochki in the sunken sub that the dead captain was trying to destroy but couldn’t so that Bud has an item that a dead captain tried to destroy but couldn’t because he himself was destroyed, so Bud destroyed it for him and the rest of the sub that the captain was trying to do in the first place.

    …see, simple as that 😉
