The real story that inspired today’s strip:

Back in college, the real Reggie got a bit fed up with my brother. We were all at a party having a good time, but Brian decided to bust Reggie’s balls a bit - he would try to distract Reggie from the game of darts he was playing by flicking chips of ice at him. Despite being blind, Reggie enjoyed playing and if you pointed him in the right direction and informed him of the general hight of the board, he was pretty accurate.

“Brian,” Reggie warned my brother, “flick one more ice chip at me, and I’m going to throw this dart at you.”

Brian scoffed. Reggie was blind, after all. Brian was across the room and a moving target. He felt pretty safe. So he sent one last ice chip flying for Reggie’s head. It lobbed one big arc into the air and landed in Reggie’s eye. I mean, square in the eye.

Reggie spun around, paused for a moment, staring out into nowhere. Brian let out a loud guffaw and Reggie immediately turned towards him and flicked the dart…which impaled itself snugly in Brian’s left bicep.

Nobody butsted Reggie’s balls much after that.
