The only thing about today’s strip that bothers me is that Lincoln depicted Nate as getting hit in the head, something that schools do not allow in dodge ball.
You can get lots of velocity, but there’s also lots of drag relative to the inertia of the ball, so you also get lots of (negative) acceleration and not much impact speed.
It’s Election Day. Please ensure you or someone you know can vote for the right candidate, because your vote matters. Of course, if you are 18 or older. Your vote can help determine the results of the election.
I also recommend keeping Project 2025 in mind while you vote. If you need any clarification, please let me know.
I was quite the nerd back in the day but I was really good at what we called “suicide”, AKA dodgeball. I was small and fast so I was a much tougher target than other guys and I usually lasted long. I could also catch which allowed other guys to get back in the game. And I could throw sidearm which caused the ball to move differently than thrown overhand so it was harder to catch. There are a bunch of things I didn’t like in P.E. but suicide wasn’t one of them.
He had his back turned, Chester. That’s why he didn’t dodge. He’s out, per the rules, but give Nate a break ready. You always go after him for the most mundane things.

Does Nate fight back or try to get out of dodge?

Yeah, Chester is strong enough to make foamball feel like an average dodgeball.

Chester sure taught him how velocity works. But unfourtinately, you cannot have velocity without acceleration.

Be careful of what you ask for. You just might get it. “Get it?”

Unless you’re Chester, of course.
