Newsie: Flipper

Actor: Brian Friedman

Flipper is a young Newsie who goes by many names.

He wears oversized clothing that are in mostly greys and purple. He has red suspenders under his vest.

He's been called Slider,

Blanket,

Crazy Legs (only acknowledged by the actor),

and Patrick.

But he's probably best known as Flipper because of his dramatic hair flips.

Flipper has three Newsie big bros looking out for him:

The first is Jake, who teaches him dance moves such as enthusiastic skipping and imaginary lassoing.

The second is Bumlets, who gives him hair styling and hair care advice.

And the third is Kid Blink, who always has a shoulder for him to lean on.

Bumlets shows the pecking order by pushing Flipper down a stair.

Flipper loses a sword fight to Les. The winner gets a head smoosh from Dave.

Round two goes on in the back. Who needs Dave, when you have three adoptive brothers of your own?

Without his three bros to guide him,

Flipper is picking fights,

getting dragged around by Crutchy,

climbing onto statues,

and passing out on the job from staying up past his bedtime reading the comics section of The World.

What do you call this Newsie? Personally I like Blanket the most, but I went with Flipper because it's the name he's commonly known as.

Give me Newsies who developed or were born with disabilities over their time in the refuge and growing up in the streets of New York.

We obviously have Crutchie, who crushed his leg in a trolley accident during the trolley strikes, but how about the others?

Kid Blink, who's eye was cut badly during a fight and totally lost all vision in that eye, leaving a nasty scar where he was sliced. He jokes that he's secretly a pirate to the younger kids because he wears an eyepatch, but the real reason he has it is to hide the scar because he is embarrassed and ashamed of his scaring and how scary it can look.

JoJo, who was born with a vision impairment that makes everything extremely blurry through his perspective. Somebody always needs to read the headline to him in the morning, and he sometimes needs a selling partner to lead him in the correct direction without getting run over by a carriage.

Splint, who's broken her arm so many times and in so many different ways that it's practically unusable. It's covered in nasty scars and bruises and is swollen and bumpy from where the bone never fully set back properly.

Elmer, who deals with chronic fatigue and sometimes having to be dragged away from selling for at least a little bit because Spot can see that if he doesn't sit down soon, he will pass out from ache and exhaustion.

Albert, who lost most of his hearing in a fight at the refuge and has Katherine teach him and a few of the others some sign language so he can finally communicate as well as he can with the other newsies.

in manhattan, when one newsie gets sick, they all get sick. and they're fucked right now. "it ain't my fault!" jojo shouts. "buttons got me sick!" everyone rounds on buttons.

"yeah, like i fuckin chose to be sick," he mutters. the crowd of sick newsies starts yelling at him.

"everyone shuddup!" jack shouts from his bed. "i got a headache."

"someone gimme some help out here!" tommy boy calls from outside. specs, blink, and skittery go to give him a hand with whatever it is.

"what happened?" all the newsies hear snatches of conversation from outside.

"-in the street."

"-when to stop-" blink and skittery enter, holding an unconscious race between them. "ay, mush, move it." they toss race onto a bed.

"what happened to him?" ike asks quietly. there's a small cut on race's forehead that's bleeding.

"oh, he passed out in the street," skittery explains. "he's sick and wouldn't take the day off. never was very smart."

"now he's dead," blink adds.

"what?" a shout goes up from some of the younger ones until mush smacks blink around the head and tells everyone blink's kidding.

"they're kids, stop scarin them," mush orders him. "also, race being sick means only one thing. someone has gotta go tell spot conlon."

"yeah, that ain't scary," blink mutters. "uh, boots, go to brooklyn and tell spot he's got a sick boyfriend." boots heads off dutifully.

the next hour is a mess. all the newsies fret over race, who sleeps the whole time. and then everyone goes silent and dumbstruck when spot enters.

they're used to cold, intimidating, angry spot. not a caring spot. not a spot who immediately runs to race's side and starts checking on him.

spot presses his hand to race's forehead and then hugs him tight, pressing kisses to the top of his head. "ay!" crutchie shouts. "everyone hit the beds and give them some space!" race wakes up soon enough, with a worried spot sitting bedside.

"race!"

"whatcha doing here? i's just sick. ain't dying or nothing." spot kisses his forehead and stares at him.

"ya passed out in the street. gotta take it easy."

"when one of us gets sick, we all get sick. i ain't dying, spot, i promise."

"you need food." race shrugs.

"i ain't hungry."

"race. listen to me. you need food, you're sick."

"i'll throw it up."

"i will shove it down your throat if you don't eat the food i bring ya."

"spot-"

"tony. shut up. i's getting you some chicken soup. don't argue." race watches him walk out, smiling a little dopily.

all the newsies start hooting and cheering, whistling at race.

"alright, alright!" race shouts. "i got a headache."

I finally made a comic after forever! (This literally took me 7 hrs my finger is bright red send help—)

Anyway I’ve always loved the scene in The Christmas Story when Flick gets his tongue stuck to the pole and thought that it was 100% something Racetrack would do.

Also starring Mush and Blink who I'm technically debuting designs for!

And incase anyone was wondering, yes Jack was pissed.
