Football, that’s the orange one right?
I think it has something to do with skinning pigs.
It’s the one that lets you hit people.
… You mean that thing that they have once a year that only gets watched for the commercials? Or the one where they kick a ball around. Something something Steelers is all I know about this “Foot-ball” thing.
I think it’s like a real-life raid or something. They confuse me, the people who shout about it.
Hello, my name is Jean-Luc Picard and I have bad sports.
GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!
*spikes the bases ball*
I fuckin’ love you guys.
‘Cause we drop back and pun?
It’s to ensure a safety.
I thought it was the one where a bunch of men shove up against each other and they crumple into a giant sweaty pile next to a rug. And there’s a manhandled ball in there somewhere…
I do believe you’re thinking of Hand-Egg. :3
Because one would expect that something called “football” would primarily consist of hitting a ball with one’s foot.
I heard it had something to do with an iron grid.
A Frigg’s interedt increases dramatically…
Oh, the one with the sticks?
No, silly, it’s the one patterned like C60.
My coworker just said a “tight spread” is involved. Sounds a little NSFW.
out… side… ?
Oh! You mean the big blue room! With that glowy thing.
The Yellow Face, hurts us it does! Gollum! Gollum!
Vitamin D is poison!

Outside is the place that scares me. For I am weak and squishy and lack the proper AC to deal with the random encounters. Not to mention I always roll low on my saving throws.
Don’t you mean the Twin Glowy Spheres of Doom up on that blue cieling?
Kersack? Weren’t those Tzarist Russian guys who persecuted Jews?
No, you are thinking of Cossack.
Kersack is the current Secretary of Agriculture and former Governor of Iowa.
No, that’s Vilsack.
Kersack is a flower girls wear on their wrist when they go to the prom.
No, that’s a corsage.
Kersack is when a contractor pays a government official under the table for awarding them a contract.
No, that’s a kickback.
Kersack is what you do when you rush through a place stealing things and causing damage… plundering and pillaging and whatnot.
No, that’s just… sacking. Kersack is a brother-sister pair of movie actors.
I *believe* that’s Cusack. Kersack is when the governor general of Australia gets rid of the Prime Minister, causing a constitutional crisis.
No, that’s Kerr’s Cur Sacking.
Kersack is that strange gown thing a priest wears.
No, that’s a Kassock.
A kersack is like a little toy, memento, something small you keep around just because you like it.
No, thats a Knickknack.
Kersack was the owner and manager of the
Philadelphia Athletics from 1901-50.
No, that’s a Connie Mack.
A kersack is when someone pulls you from your vehicle and drives off in it.
no, that’s a car jack.
Kersack is an adjective describing something that burns or corrodes tissue, or as being extremely sarcastic or critical.
I think that is caustic.
Isn’t Kersack one of those bakery items shaped in the likeness of a waning moon?
No, that’s a crescent.
A kersack is a semi-sentient, plant-like, omnivorous creature found on several planets across the galaxy.
No, that’s a sarlacc. Kersack is the material used to pave runways.
No, that’s tarmac. Kersack is an extended series of replies to each other, usually with some punning involved.
Oh look, meta!
–Dave, give a dog a bone
Rachel is officially making progress, with a perfect example of how there are many different ways people can touch one another. PROTECT DAH QUARTERBAAAACKK!
I told you there were no limits Frigg! I TOLD you!!!
this conversation was Illuminating, but now I gotta hit the sack.
Reading this really brightened my day. Now I’m ready to tackle all of my problems.
It really is a touching comment. I was feeling kind of down.
I don’t mean to intercept you on your way to bed, but I have to draw the line.
Well, she’s rushed the whole enlightenment field. Frigg looks a little blitzed.
It’s okay maybe Frigg can still stop her before she switches goal. Don’t want Rachel going for the Hail Mary.
The next few strips have been censored for adult content.
Guess there is a limit to the ways one person can touch another. That can be shown, anyway.
To better understand this “Football”, I direct your attention to this old Daily Blink comic.
I’m almost certain that’s a red card offense in football.
Yeah, last I checked, it was a no-contact sport.
That’s European football. Clearly they’re talking about Gaelic, here.
Yea in American football the players get paid a bonus for a hit like that. Unless they talk about it ahead of time and then they are the New Orlean Saints.
Just a heads up, Frigg: Light is not always good, and good is not always nice. This does not mean that light is always nice.
and the dark side has cookies… evil is more tempting every time I look
And sometimes good will just beat your brains in just for your own good.
Friggback sack.
At the back-yard line.
Who does Rachel think she is, Carl Sagan?
Referring to the mid-panel.
That panel is much more entertaining when I think of Rachel talking with Carl Sagan’s voice.
*Runs off to watch Cosmos*
My mind is full of billions and billions of fuck!
I bet she follows this up with a Jackhammer…or perhaps just a brawl? Who knows?
The last panel deserves to be its own work of art. You should title it and sell that as a classic print!
I’m sure many people would be willing to pay good money to see Frigg and Rachel in The Sack.
…. I see what you did there.
Ouch, her spine!
Frigg, please don’t forget that she’s from the same psychotic warrior nun convent as you.
Just because she’s prettier than you, skinnier than you, and doesn’t wear armor, it doesn’t mean she probably can’t kick your ass if she tried really hard.
And got way lucky.
Didn’t she also hand-chop the lock off that tank earlier on so that Frigg could get in and busticate it form the inside?
So who is getting lucky?
Please note that Frigg was still the one who unleashed said bustication.
Dammit, you will LISTEN when I talk about purity and goodness, or I will beat you senseless!
I love this comic, and the comments. Not sure if I miss the puns though.
We’ve got something for everybody.
It’s a comedy tonight.
Actually, I’m pretty sure that’s American Football. In Football, you tend to kick the ball with your foot rather than just carry it around.
Actually, you do both. You also get one point for kicking the other team’s behind. (My, my, I’m being very Australian today…)
Unless you’re in Queensland, in which case you’re just trying to grab and lift and try really hard.
Rachel in panel 5: “Not sure if reluctant…or just Frigg.”
I have a feeling that what’s about to happen will be closer to rugby. Or no-holds-barred kickboxing.
I’m hoping for chess.
Really? I’m very interested in what style of chess you’ve been playing, then!
(Body)check, Mate! Whooooo, YEAH!
Friggin’ Chess, of course.
Guard thy queen!
All I know is that the White Queen is “in” for it.
GANGBANG!!!! (If nobody gets this reference I’ll be sad)
It’s good to be the King.
Honey, you should see me in a crown.
Just to say I suspect I’ve met someone very similar to the teacher that inspired that last bit!
Just finished reading your archives, and I am firmly hooked on this comic. Thanks to Girls With Slingshots for sending me over here, this place is excellent!
She wasn’t joking.
RACHEL used TACKLE!
It’s super-effective!
That’s got to be at least Slam. And is there anything that’s actually weak to Tackle?
I don’t know. I don’t even play those games, to be honest.
I stopped on the third generation myself. I’m hearing all sorts of weird move like Sucker Punch coming out in the fourth and fifth and on the fence if I miss it or if I got out just in time.
Anyway, Takedown could be a good notion for this move here…since they are both going to take some damage I imagine.
Outside? Man, work up that indie cred I have never even HEARD of that game! Can i get it on Steam?
Probably, I hear Outside has rigorously employed cloud technology.
They mostly do landscape rendering afaik.
I’ve seen the videos on youtube about the technology used. Imagine, using atoms for unlimited detail!
So…no hot oil wrestling match I take it?
Last group of people preached to Frigg got their church burned down.
Good plan.
Hey, Rachel was in that church when it burned down. So obviously she must be immune. Haha!
Everything I know about American football I learned from Scott Sigler.
Last panel: It’s the Flying Nun!
Apparently *someones* been wanting to tackle Frigg to the ground and have her at her mercy for a while.
Frigg, the atheist crusader :D o paradox’s
Football, a sport? You kiddin, right? More like almost a hundred overweight people hugging in a slightly homoerotic manner and sometimes running for almost a full 5 seconds.
But I guess it _does_ happen outside. Most of the time.
This “outside” concept intrigues me. There’s bound to be one on the internet, right? Also, I would have expected Ka-Tackle instead of Ker-Sack.
