I don’t know if it’s true everywhere, but around here, it’s the nervous new kids that wind up saying they’re going to be snipers during paintball games. What that means is, they’re going to run to the closest hiding spot behind a wall and they’re going to plink away at anything they see moving. And there will always be those guys who try to take charge and start calling out orders while doing the hand jive like you see cartoon characters do when they’re parodying Schwarzeneggar movies. The problem is that there’s usually more than one of those guys in a team, so the team splits up and the disparate parts wind up shooting at each other at some point.
This gag grew out of a thing at an airsoft game instead of a paintball game, but… y’know, it’s amazing how that kind of humor can work for such two different sports…
I got a late start on today’s strip. I’m not sure I saved much time by doing a single panel. I like the effect, though.
In case you’re wondering (and I know you’re not, but I like to put SOMETHING here occasionally) I have a little personal experience with this. Back when I was learning what weekends were good for, I did sneak off and learn laser tag and disc golf with a buddy on some weekday excursions before we were expected to turn up for our first games that weekend. Not sporting? Pfeh.
