If you’re not expecting the Crazy-Ball game to run over you, your reflexes probably aren’t going to save you.
You just circle the wagons (or, in this case, the Judges booths) and wait for the arrival.

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!”
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.
I figure Crazyball is like Improv Comedy. Somebody yells out a twist, and you say, “Yes.”
Why not? Creativity within specific and rigid rules is okay, but after a certain point, it’s not creativity anymore, it’s just ramped-up skill sets and a career’s worth of practice. Maybe some steroids. But Creativity while running willy-nilly around a crowd of people ostensibly doing the same thing? Maybe the creativity begets some other creativity and so on.
Crazyball, then, is the road to the Next Big Thing. You just have to wade through the Crazy to discover it.
