The one time I got away with hitting my brother was a “punch buggy.” I pretended I didn’t know what that was and hit him back. (maybe a bit harder than necessary…) He started crying and my parents basically said, “well, that’s what you get for hitting your brother (me.)”
As the driver you rarely ever are the puncher, and quite often are the abused. With my GF in the front and 3 kids big enough to not be strapped into child seats, yours truly was black and blue most of the time. Our game used VW Bugs, of course.
The primary villain was the GF, but there was one glorious day of vengeance. I found it in a curio shop, bought it and hid it away for months. On Christmas day, with 11 other players sitting in the living room, I waited until she got to that small heavy box. 6×6×6, almost 2 pounds. “Very special” I informed the room.
All eyes were on Sarah as she opened…what wonders could lie within…the special box. She pulled back the tissue and a look of confusion crossed her face. The light went off and she turned her head and I slugged her in the arm.
“PUNCH BUG CLEAR!”
There in the box was a beautiful lead crystal VW Bug. It was glorious, and everyone (except Sarah) cheered. Her relatives took punch bug VERY SERIOUS.
I grew up with five siblings and after reading the comments to figure out today’s strip I think I’m very glad that they hadn’t ever heard of this game either.

I always thought that game was stupid. Try looking for cars with a headlight out then say something. You don’t always have to be hitting.
