‘Member in that Avengers movie? Tony Stark says, “I HAVE a Plan of Attack. Attack!”
That’s Big Ron’s plan to win the boat race.
“Paddle ’til you win.”
It’s very sound logic. Or maybe it just very much sounds like it might be logic.

It’s important to practice new skills.
But you gotta pick your time and place with care, just in case someone with a good reach and a long paddle is in striking distance.
Today’s cartoon is just totally self-indulgent isn’t it?
Viking pirates and canoes and ship-shaped canoes and superheroes and the Star Trek reference…
You guys DID get the Star Trek, right?
We know Allan did.
The strength of Crazyball lies in the ability to make anything part of the game. Somebody’s mask slips and covers their eyes? Not a problem! It’s Blind Crazyball inning! Somebody over-exerts and pukes? There’s the new “No-Go Zone”. Easy! You’ve been playing the game for the first twenty minutes without an actual ball? Points and Perks given to whoever supplies a ball! Perfect!
By the way, the list of perks in the last panel? I was going to write the work as ‘Perq’. Until, of course, Spellcheck told me that was wrong. Spellcheck then got the usual cursing out until I looked it up on Google. Turns out the correct diminutive of ‘Perquisite’ ISN’T ‘Perq’. Though it should be. Stupid language.
I’m pretty sure it USED to be ‘Perq’. And it still should be.
Dang! I knew I forgot something!
And no, it wasn’t the ‘Ball’ in Calvin/Crazy Ball. It was yesterday’s cartoon.
Some client work kept me chasing a deadline until that responsibility and the following morning’s responsibility to meet a bunch of people for an early morning workout nearly overlapped.
Oh, the difficult life of a cartoonist! Sit in a chair all day ’til you’re delirious with exhaustion, drawing funny colorful pictures, and then jump up early to run around in the park. I tell ya- it’s work, work, work.
I think what I was trying to say until this brain-damaged rant went sideways was “Hey, look! A Thursday cartoon instead of a Wednesday cartoon this week!”
The first panel is sort of a guest appearance.
The rest of the panels are just chaos, pure and simple.
Philosophically, I don’t actually know if chaos could be pure, or simple. I suspect that chaos isn’t simple. We should find someone with that kind of education and ask them.
Then, when we get our answer, we all jump them in a Dum Dum pile.
Durnell knows better than to leave a sparkly shiny hat just lying around in a large crowd of people.
Unfortunately, the large crowd of people is filled with normal, everyday lunatics who may or may not know that it’s not okay to run off with a sparkly hat because there’s a Crazyball game starting up.
Anyone wanna come up with a good ‘Crazyball’ chant or song or catchphrase or shout or something? I think we need one of those.
Things are getting weirder. Must be late Saturday afternoon at the ‘Fest.
You know, Mob Rules is almost the opposite of Crazyball- wherein individuals call out rules and everyone obeys.
And yet… Mobs and Crazyball look kinda alike.
The Friendly Judges got the ugly booth. The other booth with the pretty color discs must be at the boat race.
When you’re there to judge, you judge! Why wouldn’t you?
And if the compensation is that you get to make personal judgements on the mental states of people who are behaving very oddly, well, that’s a job perk. That’s what that is.
