Ah, but there's a crucial difference. The two guys in the bottle aren't being relied upon as starters. Perhaps a Freddy in the bottle would have been more apropos to the analogy.
I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT THE DUST CLOUD WAS THE EXTRA 10% THAT ALLOWED HIM TO PLAY AT 110%. THANKS FOR THE LINKS, IT MADE ME LAUGH TO REVISIT THOSE STRIPS.

WHY DOES ERSTAD HAVE A PIGPEN DUST CLOUD AROUND HIM? I LAUGHED REGARDLESS.
I love the Grindy dirt-pile under Erstad.
Good point, Danzig, but here are some links about how much I was counting on them to be reliable starters, at the time they were acquired:
Bartolo:
From last Spring
Erstad:
From Palehose 7
Griffey:
From Palehose 8
I think they all fall into the "trying to catch lightning in a bottle" category.
The Pig Pen dust cloud was first seen in Palehose 7. I'll let you find that on your own.
Have a great weekend, everybody!
I checked, still explanation for the cloud carl...
I want you to go back and read ALL of Palehose 7.
Palehose 7
Here's some help:
May 25th 2007- Pigpen cloud
May 6th 2007- Erstad loves dirt, and dirt loves Erstad.
Carl,
I don't know what is more funny - The post or the comments...Hilarious.

Could anonymous people please not post in all-caps. It reminds me too much of JI
JIM THOME
Notice how the "key" isn't "in" the bottle.
I've taken to reading ALL CAPS writing in a Billy Mays voice. Try it. You'll start enjoying ALL CAPS.
BILLY MAYS HERE. THIS CARTOON MADE ME L.O.L.
In response to posthumous popularity as it pertains to truth in advertising,
I don't think I ever saw Billy Mays and Michael Jackson in the same place, at the same time ...
AARON ROWAND IS ANONYMOUS & ANONYMOUS IS AARON ROWAND. I HAVE TO WRITE THE WAY I TALK. AARON ROWAND DOESN'T NEED A DUST CLOUD TO GIVE 110%.
PIE!!!!
Those were the days, FFS. I'd be happy to get a whiff of pie this year.
