That Did It: Then and There, Billy Decided to Put Down the Baseball and Pick Up a Jump Rope

Finally, as the ache in Jeffy’s knees begins to become almost unbearable while he waits for the strike that will never come, Billy attempts to salvage some shred of dignity while begging for mercy. I like to think that Daddy replies with a sneering “Screw you, kid — bunting is for pussies” before sending Billy scrambling with a line drive aimed right at his grossly oversized head.

I love the Family Circus -- when it's being made fun of.
