This foreboding image came from a series of strips where the local baseball team was giving out free baseball caps at the ballpark. Peppermint Patty developed a scheme to go in and out of the park 9 times, in order to collect enough caps for her team. Marcie was given the task of standing by the wall so Peppermint Patty could climb down, give her the cap, and go back in again. Marcie quipped, "I'll bet they'll let you play on the prison ball team, sir."
