His presence on the cricket field is worth 40.000 men – Chapter 9, Act 3, Strip 22

Yogi isn’t really that down with modern technology. He did cover Riko’s eyes to prevent her from seeing Snuka’s little mishap in the flesh, but apparently it didn’t occur to him to warn her against looking at all of the memes and remixes on her cell. And really, given their distance from the field, she couldn’t even really have made out anything if her eyes hadn’t been covered. In the memes it’s all zoomed-in and clearly visible.

Oh, well. To her credit, her reaction to the memes is not one of avid co-mockery, but rather of concern and sympathy for Snuka. That’s rare. Sympathy for Snuka? That’s very rare, under any kind of circumstances.

Under the current circumstances, of course, Snuka can do with a little bit of sympathy. Even with his epic levels of psychological resilience, the mockery seems to be getting to him. His head does not usually look like that. It would be far to conspicuous when sneaking around, so he couldn’t really afford it to look like that. He’s definitely reeling…but it probably takes more than that to knock him down.

In the meantime, Yogi lays out some information of the second member in the All Star Team’s battery pack: Tanuki Kazuya. After “Injun Bakamura”, something like this was pretty much inevitable, wasn’t it? I’ve simply taken the liberty to make Kazuya a tanuki in physique as well as personality, because it’s funnier that way. XD

And, yeah, a tanuki can look kinda like Napoleon when viewed from behind…like if he depresses his ears a bit and moves them to the side like that…

Will our newly minted Tomato-kun stand any kind of chance against a battery made up from an indigenous Southpaw and his personal totem animal? Find out on Thursday.
