    Why does the frolf player have long hair and a shirt?

      It's a caricature of a typical frisbee golf player — long unruly hair and T-shirt (often tie-dye). The only thing missing is a can of beer.

      I love this strip by the way.

        Correct. Unfortunately the lil' guy was too small to put in a tie-die effect in the shirt, but I think the point gets across.

            Nope. God Bug has a beard and robe.

            Something wrong with your monitor, probably.

          I seem to be the only person who thought that frolf was a reference to Ribbit King, where you actually golf with frogs. I was sad to hear you didn’t like it until I read the comments, because it’d be awesome were it possible.

        I don't have much knowledge on Frolf. So, I didn't know.

    Ok, I had to look up what frolf was. So I read the description on frolf.com. What??????

    Oh, alternative sports..

    How about the normal 100m dash but with a brick wall 2 feet after the finish line? Do you play it safe and slow down a bit or go for gold and suffer the pain?

    ..or indoor pole vault in a room with a low ceiling, just how high do you dare put the bar and still manage to squeeze through without hitting the ceiling?

    I've never heard it called "Frolf" before, used to the term "Disc Golf" (original, eh?) Wasn't too hard to figure out though.

    Third panel beat a laugh out of me using a deflated tennis racket.

    I've played frisbee golf. Less dangerous than me playing golf.

    I think Bug Style Cricket sounds a lot more exciting than the real thing.

    It's only worth a jabberwocky if the batsman's bollocks stopped the ball from hitting the wicker man.

    Being a hippy isn't a requisite for playing a sport with a frisbee, but it gives you style points.

    There's a Frolf park near my house. I've been hit several times walking my dogs.

    the fun of your comic is finding a different panel hilarious every time I read. It's fresh that way– not having the traditional set-up and punchline in the last panel.

    I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see the word 'bollocks' in this webcomic.

      It is, indeed, a wonderful thing. 🙂 Though actually, the picture just looks like regular cricket…

    Seriously, if they really published an Obscure Sports Quarterly magazine, I would totally subscribe.

    I don't know how frolf is played, and I'm not gonna research it, but to me it sounds like a normal game of frisbee. Except you replace the dog with another human. In the odd case that I might be right, I will make it my life's purpose to become a frolf judge. Anyone who doesn't catch the frisbee with their mouths is automatically disqualified.

    Disc Golf is the name of the game. People who don't play it call it Frolf = Frisbee + Golf. The reason it isn't Frizbee golf is a Frizbee is trademarked name. Oh, and it is actually a pretty fun game.

    was that a C&H reference in the last panel?
