Hilarious!
But, I’m sorry, Boum. Here is a confession. I was the one who threw the ball with scary might. I was forbidden to play basket in school for this reason…
That’s what early puberty and elite swimming body does to a kid with no ball control! *shrugs*
Ugh. They called it Battleball when I was in grade school, and it was an epic battle. There were like 8 balls in play, and the bully girls would team up and pick off the nerdy kids one by one.
Can you tell I was a nerdy kid? Huge glasses and everything, it totally sucked.
I couldn’t not comment on this one. xD I just got onto this comic, and I’m archive burning from Current to the Start.
I loved dodgeball, because I was never hit. Crazy good at dodging. So good, in fact, that I was the last one on my side of the gym, every time. The only problem was that I couldn’t throw, at all. It was just me on one side of the gym with all of the balls, and the other side of the gym with 15+ kids. I would end up throwing foam balls back at them, basically resupplying their ammo until I slipped up or they coordinated a throw well enough. It was the worst part of the game, every time. @_@
The same thing happened to me! I knew full well that I couldn’t throw (or dodge), so I’d always stay at the very back, well behind the other kids.
Our favourite version of dodgeball was “Up” (if someone standing on one team catches a ball in midair, ne yells “UP!” and everyone one nir team that’s been hit can stand back up again). THAT is the one and only reason that when I’d be the only one left standing on my team, I’d still send balls to the other side. My one salvation was when someone on the other team would offer to do a trade, i.e.: you toss a ball, I catch it, I toss it back, you catch it.
When you say “counteract gravity” do you mean the lift a ball gets when it has backspin? It’s the same effect by which golf balls glide. The spin in the comic is different and just gives him more room to accelerate. Sorry to reply so late.
Awws! Too small to get a good grip!
Dodgeball = hell.
I never quite understood how the spin thingy made the throws more powerful or whatever.
I think the spin counteract gravity and thus enhance velocity. But maybe I’m just imagining things ^-^
i hated dodgeball cause they would never let me play.

Haha, no worries ;)
Yeah some sort of gravity times velocity and speed squared yadda yadda
Oh and math. Math is not my thing, not since the alphabet got involved…
I always got hit in the face when we played dodgeball.
Hid behind one of my friends, he dodged a ball, and I STILL got hit in the face.
Overcome your fear! http://youtu.be/SDbymcJuipA?t=22s
Whoa!

That game sounds absolutely dreadful :C
