445: I Am Not Good with Boomerangs
| I Am Not Good with Boomerangs |
 Title text: Bonus strip: just read the rightmost panels straight down. |
Explanation
The strip shows a man throwing a boomerang four times, each time finding a difficulty in catching it.
The first time, it merely hits him in the head.
The second time, about six boomerangs come after him.
The third time, a shark somehow returns to him.
The fourth and final time, his girlfriend appears, stating "I'm leaving you."
The title text refers to a bonus strip - if one reads the rightmost panels straight down, you get a strip that suggest that the man's girlfriend threw multiple things at him out of anger before breaking up with him.

Why a shark and not a velociraptor, Randall? 199.27.128.71 00:34, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
Does anyone else think that the reason why the shark and Megan return is because Cueball caught them with a boomerang? Z (talk) 16:24, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
SAFTEY WARNING- Do not attempt to catch a actual boomerang! They are throwing weapons, and even if it does curve around back towards you, it isn't any less a thrown weapon! Attempting to catch one will probably cause you serious harm. -Pennpenn 108.162.250.162 00:15, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
