Ducks Gameday -- Prepare for some disappointment...

by Earl Sleek on Jan 15, 2012 2:16 PM PST

Anaheim Ducks (W-winning?) at Vancouver Canucks (Twinning!), 6 pm
Anaheim Calling and Nucks Misconduct -- SBN: South Beats North.

Oh my gosh, another multi-panel masterpiece?

Sorry, no more panels -- I told you to prepare for some disappointment. :)

I drew this duck and orca without a joke really in mind, and it never really came together -- and now my house is temporarily being taken over by football fans. If you've got a good punchline for the drawing, feel free to leave it in the comments and I can incorporate it into a Sleektoon later.

Prediction: I'm told this football game will be over in time for the Ducks faceoff, so I should be around for game comments -- stop on by! Ducks are a shocking 4-1-1 in 2012, outscoring opponents 22-12, and for the first time since early October, there's some optimism around this team. Vancouver wins, however -- I told you to prepare for some disappointment. :)

Go Football Clock Go.

That was cruel! I had not properly prepared myself for disappointment.

Woo hoo! Football half over, and whatever team we’re rooting for is winning. Hope it ends in regulation. :)

As I understand it, if the Giants win – Niners have home advantage. So I’m hoping for a Giants win today.

My mom saw the football game on and asked “What inning is it?”

Sweet cartoon. :)

Here’s an entry for the finish:

Duck: Hello, may I speak to Mr. Orca?

Orca: What can I do for you?

Duck: Go fuck yourself, you sissy arrogant gutless diving prick!

You’re welcome.

It is that thing that I sent to you.

The Duck should ask the Orca if his refrigerator is running.

Hilarity subsequently ensues.

Duck: Give me back my ugly orange phone!

Not saying DS was the best hire, but at least TM's gone.

I’m now rooting for the Ducks. Keep winning! You’ve got not chance at the playoffs, and now you’re winning yourselves away from a top draft pick!

Go long-term mediocrity!

GO DUCKS!!

And no one knows more about that than a Kings fan.

No worries — I don’t really mind spoilers like I used to, plus your text was positive! I was excited.

I actually was a bit let down as I was watching, though — Spade sent a text about a 10-year Jason Blake extension based on only a 1-0 intermission lead? :)
