- Cloud: You’re so ugly that even Larisa wouldn’t give you a kiss on the cheek!
- Theo: Your mom is a coward who abandoned her home country to live an easy life in America!
- Cloud: I… I am hurt.
- Theo: I serve.
- Referee: Three extra points for Theo.
- Benjamin: Extreme table tennis. The player who comes up with the most vicious insult for his opponent receives bonus points.
- Sandra: Boys are weird.

That’s… that’s just mean o.O I guess I’ll never understand boys.
Is that your face or did your neck just….. wait let me start over, oh man I forgot. YOUR MOTHER!
I doubt that that rage is going to amount to anything except an extreme smackdown in table tenis. No one can insult Cloud’s mom like that and get away with it.
Wow. That IS just mean. But I suck at table tennis, so I guess that might work to my advantage.
Hmm. The comments that spring to mind in regards to Theo, cannot be posted, but bear in mind Theo would not win any points from me. And even worse, he would claim I was not politically correct.
Boys are certainly weird. to come with sports like this and Baseketball makes me question the day they come up with Sockey.
He went straight towards the mom insult. Poor Cloud had no chance.
lets be honest, that sounds more like something girls would do.
-You fight like a dairy farmer!
-how appropriate! You fight like a cow!
Well, it worked on Monkey Island, so why not here?
– “You fight like a milkmaid!”
– “How appropriate – you fight like a cow.”
Sandra could probably aspire to higher contests of words… like, for instance, question tennis, as seen in Rosencrantz and Guidenstern Are Dead (link to clip).
It was a low blow but, you know, anything goes.
An appalling display!
Clearly, you’re supposed to time your insult so that they miss the on the backhand so you get the score AND get the extra points
[Cloud’s Expression~(8)]
Wow, that’s a low blow. I wonder what happen in the next comic, don’t tell me he’s getting depressed about it.
@ AckAckAck:
You know, he beat up a bully with a plastic butter knife because it was shaped like a bladed weapon, so to him, it was a sword. A ping-pong paddle is a little like a club made for whacking and smacking, and clubs aren’t so different from swords… If you don’t get it, either he is going to make theo take it back somehow, come up with an even better insult ( i.e. at least my mom can play games without ruining her eyes to the point of getting glasses! XD), or beat Theo so well at the game that the three points were pointless. No pun intended. XD
Also, Theo looks REALLY evil in the second panel, like to an extreme level, as if he has a secret in his family history… (starts looking for relatives known for being extremely evil).
next up a boy gettings an odd view of how girls play ping pong XD
This feels like the kind of moment that Theo will feel guilty over in his adulthood.
If I were Sandra, I would have a much stronger reaction than, “Boys are wierd”!
And Thats why I don’t play Table Tennis……yeah..right….
Boys ARE weird!

And darned proud of it too! 😉
Ouch, what a low blow.
I would appeal on the grounds that the insult was not aimed at Cloud.
Eh, a bit even insults. Though Cloud’s was a double burn.
well that was a bit to much. just happy she wasn’t there to hear that.
…I disapprove of this strip.
What the fuck Theo, that’s not cool or funny.
Just read every comic on the site…and I can finally understand this one. This web comic is definitely top notch, and knowing Cloud’s athletic ability, Theo is going to need those 3 points if he wants even a slimmer of a chance of winning.

Good, we are even now.
What we don’t see is the panel where Ye Thuza appears behind glasses boy like a boss ninja and go “A coward am I?”
OUCH! Keep it above the belt gentlemen.
Cloud’s insult: FAIL.
Ohhh yeeeaaahh, when ya can’t come up with an original and really good insult, go for the mother jokes … hate that … poor Cloud! 🙁
@ Nyerguds:
– I’m not going to take your insolence sitting down!
(how odd… been replaying MI1 on an old 486 I salvaged (hooked up to the big screen TV! oh the pixels!), and just finished it last night… then this happens 🙂
(the rest of the week is for MI2!)
Second Panel: Wow, that was deep space cold. That was so cold, it gives ice cubes frostbite. Damn!
Wow. Larissa’s exploits have gotten around, it seems.
Also that game sounds awesome.
Theo has a point; or three, in fact…
Oh yea? Well your mom’s so fat that she appeals to my secret fetish!
Heh this reminds me so much of my childhood, we used insult battles to solve our differences since fighting normaly just gave us too much grief
@ Sage:
Just thought of a good one
I got a call from the scientists running the Hubble telescope, they need their lenses back
EVEN Larissa…? How is she not pounding him for that?
I totally agree with Sandra.
Cloud, ATTACK!
I found this comic about three days ago, and now i am finally caught up.and let me say it is AMAZING!
@ Allison:
Well, she’s not there.
Ooooh, the Dirty Dozens…
well, amateur players at least.
@ awbbie:
This made me laugh inappropriately.
@ Sage:
Okay that’s creative and hilarious.
I prefer “playing at questions,” as seen in “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.” (Yes, the tennis net is mandatory, even though it serves no purpose in the game. Absurdity rules.)
I don’t even….
I guess I might really just be different from most boys.
Cloud should know that NO-ONE can beat an Asian at table tennis.
