When my school plays dodgeball, if you hit anything above the neck, it doesn’t count. Don’t know why I said this though. Plus, how do puffy shorts effect dodgeball?
3/10 This arc is under the idea that we will laugh at a joke that’s been stretched to a mile long for an arc.
This is a reference to a old comic strip from when he was taunting someone for dodging their throw, a nerd came out and weakly threw a dodgeball at him from close range
being completely honest, this has been going on for too long. do you really have no ideas that THIS is what your giving us? not even original either. its literally same thing for every comic you have made about this; nate has no shorts, nate has to wear dorky shorts, nate is being picked on for wearing dorky shorts. that is it. overused. like 5 times. 0/10 bruh
This is addressed to everyone who’ve been saying for a long time that “these arcs are lame” (you all know who you are).
I’d like to see you submit your own comic strips to Andrews-McMeel Syndication (the parent of GoComics), and see how well you fare. I think you’ll find that it’s far from being as easy as you might think. I’ve seen some of your posted “comics,” and I know that the editors would reject them in a heartbeat, due to their content.

Maybe the Sunday strip or next week will be luckier.

The kid with the orange hair in panel 1 kinda looks like Chad

When did the balls in dodgeball get so small? I remember them being bigger than a volleyball ball.

Really? Peirce must be really burned out if this is the best he’s got. Nate’s thoughts in the last panel are summing up my thoughts on this arc.

Dodge balls are bigger. Those look like softball size.

When is the articles about the shorts going to be over?

…it has its silver lining: at least with Nate sitting down, the dress, er, shorts are a bit less visible……..

Wait, doesn’t a headshot result in the elimination of the person who threw it?

I need to get this off my chest.

Some days it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. Sad thing is that we never know what days they are going to be…..

I don’t know about your rules, but when I play(ed) dodgeball, headshots didn’t count.

doesn’t the nerd look like breckenridge puffington from lives it up?

I’d rather get hit with a dodgeball by a weak nerd than by a brutal jock. My spine was already messed up by then

why is Nate faced the wrong way? He’s looking at a wall???
gman.davidson100 over 1 year ago
Nate, you know headshots don’t count. So why did you sit down?
