Dodge Ball
TODAY’S COMIC: “Dodge Ball”
I don’t know if schools still let kids play dodge ball. Everyone is so ‘careful’ these days. They get trophies even if they lose at sports so no one feels bad. I can’t imagine that a game where the objective is to hit another kid with a ball will get past the safe-o-meter. When I was a kid, though, dodge ball was glorious. It toughened us up and prepared us for adulthood.
Or maybe it was just plain fun to smack another kid in the face with a big red ball. *shrug*
Anyway… I have fond memories of dodge ball. I hope my daughter gets to play it when she starts school. And I hope she cracks Tommy in the face.

TRANSCRIPT:
LUNA: “I hate boys-against-girls dodge ball!”
REEN: “Why?”
LUNA: “Cuz TOMMY’S a boy!”
TOMMY: “HA HAAA! Jerks!”
BOYS: “Yay! Tommy! Boys rule! Yay! Yay!”
I loved dodgeball because I was the best at dodgeball. I was the smallest boy always, but I was quick and agile and even in multiple ball dodgeball could simultaneously dodge multiple incoming attacks.
I loved dodge ball too. It seemed so dangerous ( getting smacked in the face sucked )
