Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia for February 20, 2023

Why are all the other children lying on the field like battle casualties? Miles and Carla went over to the benches as you’re supposed to. Just dramatic effect?

I for one, welcome our new Kevin overlord.

Kevin of X

Someone needs to wake up now

I vote that Kevin dies by Maxine’s balls.

Reality either shatters, or it does not!

This reminds me of that Jimmy Neutron episode where Jimmy gave Sheen a brain boost, which resulted in Sheen becoming first an obnoxious know it al, and then developed telepathic powers and became set on ruling the world.

Looks like psychokinesis has set in.

Now I’m starting to wonder if this was a writing assignment for English Class.

OK, this is a dream sequence now, right?

Reminds me of Snowball on R&M

Will Kevin be able to dodge Maxine’s brutal fastball special? Find out tomorrow on the next episode of Crabgrass!

Somebody grew up as a Marvel comics fan

We used to play Prison Dodge in school.

Does anyone else think the dodge ball in panel 3 looks like a spike protein COVID cell?

We didn’t play coed dodgeball back in the 50’s

WHAT!

Whoa! A cliff hanger!

Pourquoi que les bandes dessinées sont en anglais seulement?

Lorsque je regardais les bandes de Ben elles étaient en français…???

oh, the climax! (looks like the other kids — excluding Miles & Carla — are going to need a trip to the school nurse)

How sweet of Kevin to refer to Maxine as his friend.

This could shift the balance of power on the school yard. The harder they come, the harder they fall. This is gonna be some fall. The shock herd round the neighborhood.

I hate dodgeball. It was fun in grade school, when the kids couldn’t throw that hard and there were plenty of catchable throws. In highschool, the coaches would occasionally have us play dodgeball in gym class, and it was brutal when a bunch of 17 year-olds, including the pitchers on the baseball team, are throwing as hard as possible and the few who attempted a catch suffered finger injuries. I was once the last on my team, outnumbered by 15-1, leaping, diving, and dodging like my life depended on it. The throws were so hard, they’d ricochet off the wall behind me and bounce back to the other team, so I didn’t have a chance to return fire. It was probably only three minutes until I was finally hit, but it felt like hours. Thankfully, nobody had mechanical helmets.

A mighty ally, the Force is.

I’m enjoying the heck out of this story arc

This has gotta be a dream sequence.

So Kevin is Professor X now!???

GUH!! Did Kevin just stopped the ball… with his mind?! THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!!
