The James Logan Colts Junior Varsity and Varsity football teams won their first MVAL games of the season, trampling the American Eagles Friday.

Here's a classic Betty Boop cartoon to start your Saturday. According to the Image Archive, the story goes like this: "Stuck in a game a chess, Miss Boop has to fight off the lecherous advances of the king. Not to worry though, even the furniture itself is looking after her honour and modesty. A chair replaces the hem of her dress when it becomes displaced; with a polite 'thank you' from the heroine. When it looks as if the king will finally get his evil way, the bed runs out of the room! The king doesn't stand a chance in this game."

This week, we jump from the Betty Boop and the past to something one viewer at the Internet Archive called an "ultramodern retro futuristic spiffy cartoonistic avantgarde mainstream Calvin and Hobbes 3D animation comic book made in France with style and verve." Directed by Christophe Barnouin, Nathalie Bonnin, Luc Desgardin, Comics Trip, is a computer animated cartoon produced by SUPINFOCOM in 2001.
