FoxTrot by Bill Amend August 16, 1998 - Summer Comics - Marcus: Oops. My ball hit yours. Now what? Jason: Let's go ask my brother. Peter, you've played croquet, right? Marcus: What happens if your ball hits your opponent's? Peter: That's the best part of the game. You get to launch the other guy's ball into oblivion and take another turn. Marcus: I suppose we could've gotten him to clarify, but this'll be more fun. Jason: If you ask me, most sports would benefit from an infusion of rocketry.
