I dig Allergy’s tie.

Tie? I thought a vampire bat had gotten entangled in his shirt’s top buttonhole.

I wonder how many times a say was Allergy beat up?
7?
10?

Why do I hear Davey and Goliath music when I read these comics?

Allergy will never win anyway. Not in that bow tie. Too wind resistant.

That tie scares me.
I’m always afraid it’s going to eat his head.

I can’t believe a kid with no problems with a name like Allergy and willingly wears a bow tie like that really cares whether other kids laugh at him.

12 times a day. He gets a two-hour window between each ritualized beating so that he can heal enough to feel pain again.

Binky is…but a stub on Wikipedia.

I’ll always love that the kid’s name is Allergy. That’s the funniest thing in all those Binky strips. But there was one strip where Allergy was acting up and his character totally suited his name.

Tragically, Allergy was killed when he drove his go-kart off of a cliff in an attempt to fly.

I’m surprised that he wasn’t able to convert his tie into a makeshift glider on the way down.

” I can’t believe a kid with no problems with a name like Allergy and willingly wears a bow tie like that really cares whether other kids laugh at him. ”
My theory? Binky is a shinigami who Allergy met when he picked up a Death Note. There aren’t any other kids left to laugh at him.

Allergy wears that big black tie because it’s his only black tie and he heard that black has a slimming effect on people.
