Annotations Every Day - Written by T Campbell & Flo Kahn - Illustrated by John & Jason Waltrip

I know this might be difficult for some of you, but that's a 'football' reference in the last panel. We call that a 'sport.' It's a thing people like to do 'outside.'

          … 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.

                      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…

    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.

    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!

      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.

      Probably, I hear Outside has rigorously employed cloud technology.

          I’ve seen the videos on youtube about the technology used. Imagine, using atoms for unlimited detail!

      Hey, Rachel was in that church when it burned down. So obviously she must be immune. Haha!

    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.

    Football…is that the one with the pansies in pads, or the one with the pansy rules that say you can’t hit anyone? I forget…
