Care to describe the image a bit? If you read back through the RPG we've been playing, you'll find that people have been describing images and answering my visual questions. :) The RPG is also a fun way for me to get a taste of the Pokemon craze, since I can't play the games. Again, too graphical.

Sure! So in the first image, Calvin [a short, hyperactive six-year old with yellow spike hair] is hitting a volleyball with a tennis racket while wearing a mask. His tiger friend Hobbes, also wearing a mask, is jumping over croquet arcs with a hobby horse and a croquet mallet. In the second image, Calvin explains the 'logistics' of Calvinball to the reader while he and Hobbes jump around for no apparent reason [Hobbes says 'The score is still Q to 12.'] Yes, it's that kind of game. :D

Oh cool, I think I'd really enjoy his socially awkward kid's adventures. I really, really wish I could check them out. :(
