    I would be a little leery of holding up an asterisk. But then, I guess it’s your ass to risk. 🙂

      Yep. It’s a wuss-on-wuss crime.

    For some reason, you bouncing a baby on it’s butt by smacking it down made me laugh.

    When you’re in school, you get punished for “getting in a fight” if someone beats you up. As far as I’m concerned, nobody gets to take that back.

      Exactly. I did my time in detention after getting pummeled. I’m claiming “knock-down-drag-out brawl” and calling it even.

    Yes, you are absolutely allowed to say “I was in a fight” when you could also say “I was beat up.” It only requires one of the involved parties to be actually fighting for it to be a fight.

    The rule is that you are “in a fight” if you have some sort of involvement. If you’re just watching, nope, you’re not IN the fight, you’re just NEXT TO the fight. However, if someone throws something, and it goes near enough to you that you flinch, then you can say that you were IN the fight, even if nobody else ever noticed you.

    Cringing and crawling away totally counts as being in the fight, and therefore being a fighter.

      I was in a police chase once!

      Yup! I was driving along when a criminal flew past me.
      A few seconds later, as I pulled over, a police cruiser passed by me.

      For a brief second, I was “in between the action”! 😀

    So I’ve been binge reading all of these from the very beginning for the last few weeks, and I gotta ask…
    Do you come up with the title or the comic strip concept first. Cause either way, it’s pretty impressive.

      Glad you’re digging the comics! The strip always comes first. Sometimes I get lucky and find a perfect title.
