Like any tough guy on the corner,
Angelo forever
has to defend his honor.

There’s a new kid on the block.

The new kid’s heard
all about Angelo
and his exploits.

The new kid’s
even smaller than Angelo,
and he already
is after taking over
Angelo’s turf.

“Yo, Angelo,
think you’re a tough guy
don’t you Angelo?”

“Yeah, so what’s it to you?”

“I think you’re nothing but a punk—
tough Angelo.
I’m going to mess up your pretty face.”

“You’re always welcome to try creep.
I’ll give you a fair one.”

The kids start in on each other.
They mix it up good.
They even roll around
out into the street,
nearly getting hit by a car.

This new kid
is too fast
for Angelo.

The new guy lands a lucky one,
and knocks Angelo
to the pavement.

Angelo has to call it quits.
It hurts like the devil.

Angelo’s lost control
of the corner.

Angelo and the new kid
become the best of friends.

The new guy
appoints Angelo
as his main man.

Thanks dear Ida,

Friends are extra important in Angelo's world. We live gregariously here.

Thanks dear Linda,

Yes they will. It's a tough, dirty job, but someone has to do it.

Angelo and his boss say hello.

Love Bobby

Just goes to show that sometimes the battles form the deepest alliances. Angelo was smart to realize that friendship can grow from the beatings one takes.

Thanks dear Alison,

You've got it. When I was growing up in Altoona, PA my neighbor kid across the alley used to fight in his back yard. Finally I got sick of it, and gave him a real beating down out in front of our grade school. We still write to each other on a regular basis after 60+ years.
