I like writing cartoons this way. You have a group of people, and you throw the same general situation at them, but the reactions of the characters vary with their… y’know, character. It’s fun. I did this once with a Buckets cartoon. It was a Sunday, so I had lots of room to work with. The family decides they’ll go out to the park or someplace. Sarah goes to the door and pokes her head out. Larry rushes to the computer, Frank goes to the calendar, Toby goes to his closet, and Eddie plows into his dresser. When they all meet back up at the door, Sarah’s wearing a long-sleeve shirt and a hat. Larry’s got on a sleeveless shirt and sunglasses. Frank’s got on a rain slicker and boots. Toby’s wearing something ‘cool’, and Eddie’s wearing a halloween costume. The fun was throwing a simple task at some very different people to see how they’d handle it individually.
And so you get these last couple of cartoons here.
Man I wanna Hackysack! dang.
Lowell’s just peeved because no one asked to see his bruises from the failed wagon dog pile.
Lowell ate it. The bruises that is.
Is it relevant that Team US is using a clipboard and Ms. Wiggins-Ross is using an iPad?
The clipboard is more likely to survive being dropped and won’t end up with a dead battery when it’s most needed. (as a lot of my little electronic gadgets are prone to) Or a cracked screen if dropped wrong. And unless it’s written with marker, the stuff on the clipboard page should survive if it rains. Cost of clipboard and pen and a sheet of paper or two is about 1% of the gadget… I’d say Team US is being PRACTICAL. Ms Wiggins-Ross is just showing that Sportsmart has money to burn… (hehehehehehe)

Geez, dude. You’re gonna set your head on fire like that there.
Took me a moment to realize Monday and Today are similar, except Team US, and Team Dead (er, Sportsmart).
Sometimes, you gotta remember that all these will be in a book. Those two strips are gonna be funnier in proximity.
I cannot wait to see the extreme hacky sack competition. This sounds amazing.
Uh, oh. Fat is flammable. Run, Lowell run!
Wait…I’m taking on Lowell?
NO ONE SAID I WAS TAKING ON LOWELL! GAME OVER, MAN! GAME OVER!
‘s cool, man. Lowell’ll get dq’d for not being able to fit into the fireproof rig.
Thus, he’s flammable.
Wait. Extreme Hacky Sack?
