I honestly thought Coach's Oop's son was a new character, somehow I didn't connect the dots between "Johnny's big bald bud" and "big bald beloved baby boy" until people here pointed it out.


As for dodgeball, it was allowed at our school, and we also had "Solo dodgeball"; which was like dodgeball but with no teams. Fun times.

I mentioned solo dodgeball earlier, so I thought I'd might expand on it.

In essence, it has the same rules as normal dodgeball, except without teams. When someone gets hit they're sent to "timeout" or whatever you'd call it, and they'd be sent back into the game if the guy who hit them got hit themselves. Due to the lack of teams there weren't any designated zones, so people could just run wherever, as long as it was within the limits of the playing field itself.

This led to a lot of fun situations where someone would narrowly dodge a ball only to find that the guy who had been cowering/running next to them seconds before had taken up the Call of the Ball, and were now armed and dangerous. People often tended to gather in groups in whatever corner that was the furthest away from whoever was playing the role of walking ball dispenser, so whenever the ball was thrown at them, there would be lemming levels of people fleeing in every direction, though a few brave ones would always try to grab the ball before anyone else did, usually while someone else were trying to do the exact same thing right next to them. Nothing like whenever two kids would grab the same ball at the same time. Western standoffs can go burn, that was what a real standoff was like.

Sometimes we would even put up obstacles, which just made it even better. Nothing like 5 people trying to hide behind a plyo box with a ball bearer sneaking up on the side.

Then the teacher would suddenly throw in another ball and that's when the real fun started. Not to mention when the third ball entered the game.

I know I'm being dense, but I don't get Max's comments in the last two panels :saddowns:

I think he's suggesting that she'd fit really well into a medieval court, with all the intrigue and scheming that inevitably happens there.

What he's saying is that she's a Game of Thrones character.

Or a Crusader Kings 2 character, alternatively.

EDIT: The "marry a rich dude" theory is probably more correct, also simpler.
