The current story arc started with this strip: Priorities.
Woo! Three updates this week! 🙂
I’m just as curious as you what’s the matter with this bottomless pit (of doom). I’m sure our heroes will eventually investigate it. Maybe in 2012.
- Sandra: Ow! My nose!
- Peter: Whoa, Cloud! Never thought you’d be such a bad boy! Giving your own girlfriend a bloody nose!
- Peter: Well, I guess they’re right when they say that love hurts. Ho ho ho.
- Peter: HEY, MY BALL!!
- Sign: Bottomless Pit
- Sign: of Doom
- Peter: Ohh nooo. Right into the bottomless pit!

A bit excessive, but I think Cloud earned that.
Cloud can easily join the basketball team, if he didn’t already…
And I now suspect their first kiss will be a goodbye kiss after Cloud walked Sandra home. Which is seen by Woo, who supports it, and by Richard, who ponders how much kissing time he should allow them before he steps in…
Everyone thats been interrupted by a ball in the middle of “quality time” have the same dream!
With my teemper thou I would have that jerk down in the hole as well
@ Gerard: I would’ve pegged him with the ball.
Dang, nice shot. Is Cloud’s middle name Wakka by chance?
Ten bucks says.. It leads to the Lifestream.
…And so, the soccer ball endlessly fell through the long, dark chasm of the earth, until it finally reached the portal that would transport it into an alternate dimension from which it would never return.
What makes this the bottomless pit of DOOM? The alternate dimension is filled with Pauly Shores.

No, with English goalkeepers.
When a soccer ball falls into a bottomless pit, it dies of starvation.
…starvation OF DOOM!!!
I’m surprised no one mentioned it would take forever for that ball to reach the bottom. Also, there is the possiblity that it would take forever to get it back.
Should’ve shoved that ball straight up his [EDITED FOR PROFANITY]
Anything that needs two signs that only work from 1 point of view must be reeeally awesome. Bottom-less pit? I’ll agree and say they’re awesome.
I like the fact that the “of DOOM” Part needed it’s own sign just to get the point across.
You know, if I didn’t know any better, I’d think that this is Larisa’s Handiwork.
Peter got off easy if you ask me, given Cloud’s training. I guess restraint on the idiotic was one of his lessons. With what Cloud could have done to peter, I’m thinkin this was actually an action of positive karma points.

It could as well be Tidus. Which would fit him more. XD
Cloud could have just kicked his balls instead, if you know what I mean.
And the arrogant jerk gets only some of what he deserves. He will get the rest of his punishment in due time, I am sure.
Not that Peter isn’t being an ass there, but he /did/ at least have the decency to call ‘LOOK OUT!’ at them when the ball headed their way last strip.
Was anyone else thinking that they live in Sparta?

Well He was born only when Final Fantasy VII come out so his parents could not really be inspired to use that name 🙂
Yeah I know I’ve being a fusspot here.
three points!
of course, the down side is that peter is now extremely angry and will come gunning for cloud. at least, that’s how it always turned out for me when i was in a similar situation. finally, i learned that it was better just to give the ball back than to risk getting mopped all over the floor.
@ Kawaiipikachu:
It never said it was WHEN FF7 came out It said they were obsessed with it at the TIME thus his little sister being named Yuna and not Tifa Yuffie or Aeris
somehow, somewhen, i suspect peter will have a karmic experience. “what you send returns, threefold”
I love the ‘of doom’ sign that someone felt had to be added to the first one!
I think it’s the “of Doom” sign that makes it work. It’s not merely a bottomless pit, it’s a bottomless pit of doom. I may be biased however, as I frequently tack on “of doom” when describing things.
…
And I thought I was original when I decided to say this:
The mental dialogue must have been along the lines of “Oh, okay. Bottomless pit. No problem, I’ll just find something to… Oh, wait. Bottomless pit of DOOM. Nevermind.”
XD
But, then again, how many people think that Sandra’s going to go ballistic next? 🙂
Nice distance. Think we can get an instant replay?
Getting in the way of kiss time without even being his aannoying relative OR acting sorry. Smart.
He should be thankfull that it’s just the bottomless pit of doom.
At first I thought it’s Samara Morgans well.
But at the other hand…
@ Novil:
A whole dimension full of english goalkeepers sounds even more creepy than that.
Impressively accurate throw there.
The ball, his emotions, his words: Cloud had more control than Peter did.
Now, Cloud, what you need to do is kiss Sandra’s nose and make it all better. 😉
I’m gonna take the unpopular side and claim that Cloud was a little too excessive there
It was an accident and that guy had no way of knowing they were about to kiss. He may not have apologized in the strip but he didn’t come of as a jerk to me
He’s lucky.
Sandy would have thrown HIM into the bottomless pit of doom
I think it’s better if he throw Peter into that hole, not the ball
Add sign: “It kills.” 😀
So, is Peter about to be kicked down the hole?
i love conveniently placed bottomless pits of doom
@ Blitzkrieg1701:
epic Teen Girl Squad reference there
AAAHHH Not into the PIT! It BUUURNS!!! (Cloud8745 reference just incase there’s anyont who cares.) XD
Peter should be happy he still lives after all that, but he has to whine about his ball right? :p
So yeah now ya got me hooked up on that well thing man… till 2012… you’re evil you know that right? X3
When I first read this, I thought “No, George Harrison, No!”
@ Gerard:
Well yeah, I’d have thrown him down there.
lol @ “Hey, my ball[s]!”
[s] added for ppl who don’t get the joke.
Hey, did anyone notice that the person with the ball[s] on window 3 where he said “hey my ball!” looked a bit like that boy in Kim Possible?
did anyone?
Actually, I doubt ‘It kills’ would be accurate, if it really is bottomless (gravitational/air pressure/physics effects put aside, as this is a webcomic.) So it’s really better he trew the ball than the guy. Although… imagine the boredom after the first two or three days of falling. That’s what I call ‘doom’.
Now I would think the soccer-playing guys are likely to gang up to bully them even more now, and would have Cloud and Sandra stand as a team, back to back, in an epic battle defending their skins and thus emphasizing their being a team that just belongs together. 🙂
who the hell just puts a bottomless pit in the middle of a place frequented by kids and soccer balls and other things that can fall in there?
That vote incentive is pure awesome.
@ Hey You With the Face:
nice one!
this comic is really cute. tnx for advertising on smackjeeves so i found it 🙂
2:1 odds that Sephiroth comes out of the well doing the whole evil floating looking cool thing
@ My Face Says::
No… Because he was a ginger, had longer and more pointy hair. If it was Ron stoppable you are refering too.
(Ron stoppable)

I pick Cloud for my basketball team. All previous picks are irrelevant.
I have to admit, a bottomless pit of doom is really cool D:
the way he threw that ball, he as a future as a pro dodgeball player…
