   They tried that with Trump but it was really, really hard to do. I think that somehow, some way, somebody was able to do it and, IIRC, he had a 1.79 GPA.

   Sadly, David, it hasn’t been good in a long, long time. This year, though, has been especially bad and ends on a definite down note with another talking doll. Looking over Scancarelli’s decades-long stranglehold on the strip, he has created a number of characters but none of them are memorable or even interesting. His sharp turn the past to out-and-out fantasy has been head-scratching yet, not surprisingly, more silly than charming. It may signal that he just isn’t capable of creating the type of relatable stories that once made this strip so great.

   Jim couldn’t end GA if he wanted to because he doesn’t own the strip. The Tribune Content Agency does and they employ Scancarelli on a contract basis. I guess we should be blaming them for the mess he has made of the strip since they continue to renew his contract.

   Sort of like my brother, many years ago. He was at the bus station waiting for a bus he was taking to visit our folks. A panhandler came up to him and asked if he could “loan” him some money. My brother fished around in his pockets, couldn’t find anything, and said, “sorry, man, I’ve got nothing.” The bum looked him over, fished out a quarter, and flipped it to my brother. He said, “you look like you need it more than I do.”

   Armando is a playboy and has a red-haired wife? That sounds really, really dangerous.

    He found that near his shorts so the guess is it is not an m&m.
