This is a looooooong overdue sequel to Kookoobara chase, which was based off a trip to the Bronx Zoo with Kat and Megan in real life. The setup is similar, though the outcome is comically exaggerated.

Let me get one thing straight, I got beat up A LOT in middle school. In 135 it was because I was smart, in 181 it was because I was new. Nobody liked me, despite the fact that I never really did anything to catch anyone's ire, besides EXISTING that is. By highschool I had developed techniques to escape beatings, one was my "run like a squirrel" method, which is actually pretty effective. But there are situations where it isn't practical, leading to my second method "you're doing it wrong." Basically, when the person is in the process of beating you up or just about to, remind them that there are in fact better things to do than get in trouble for fighting, or simply point out a flaw in there technique, in Kat's case she inadvertently mashed my face into her chest when she got me in that headlock, a point I could exploit to get her to let go. Its surprising how many physical altrications one can avoid with the proper linguistic skills.

PS: this comic took 3 days to draw, it seemed wrong to go through that much effort on a page only to let it sit in the back of my folder so I'ma postin'
