Not the way we all expected Paulo to get a nose bleed… but this works. Also, ‘Plock’, wouldn’t that be an unusual noise to hear.

powned wow paulo should have seen that coming. and that is why they invented helmets. that is going to leave a mark but being hit is something he is used too by now. Well at least Jasmine didn’t hit him in the head with a baseball bat or on purpose because that would be a real relationship breaker. Ha this is karma getting Paulo back for what he did to Mike. I would love to count this as a home run.

Jo Taeshi, I never gratulated you for the idea Sandy teaching Mike a lesson. This was great!

Also yay for Paulo!

@Taeshi I’m looking forward to it since I like surprises even if they are the bad one at least I have something to think about. Also I like how you brought back an old style for a comic that was supposed to happen before your shift to watercolors way to keeps things on track .

I’d make a joke about Paulo keeping his eye on the ball, but that would be a bit too obvious. So instead I’m going to make an off key remark that Garfield may be his uncle hardy hardy har!

Comment ID #225972

it is nice to see the scum of the earth take a hit occasionally… now if only that ball was a rusty, jagged knife… and instead of striking his face, it should pierce his heart.

too bad people actually like this *********.

maybe if i go hit on every girl i see, act like a total dickwad, and beat up a random guy, calling him a cheater for no reason, and murder someone’s pet and staple it to the wall, i’ll be as popular as paulo!

nah, just kidding… as if i’d want to be liked by the same kind of fools who like paulo.

Paulo, it’s obviously a baseball! I swear, he wouldn’t know a baseball if it jumped out and hit him in the eye.
By the way, Jazz said she would hit a few. I can only assume that this wasn’t an accident and she meant she’d hit a few people. This is because I limit my imagination by using Occam’s razor backward. Well, one Somali doesn’t constitute “a few,” so who’s next?
Perhaps… Lucy or David? Maybe a lesser-seen character like McCain or Sue. Has Tess graduated yet? Or it could be Car—
*is hit on head with baseball* Oww…

A little off topic, but I saw the ad (the Jerk! Coward! one) for this a few days ago. Being a gent named Mike, I cannot adaquately recount the discomfort of seeing a speech bubble rolling through people being angry (seemingly) at me, while I was catching up on the whimsical adventures of Commander Badass(found here!http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/1234). Needless to say, I was quite unsettled, crying “Great Scott! What have I done!!” to no-one in particular. Only upon recognising the other names did I realise the extent of my mistake. (In other news, Get off Mike’s back, he dosen’t want to be freinds with Lucy. Get Over It!!!) Please add the BCB logo to it to save the other Mikes
