was he snorting licorice or something
Tycho always looks slightly disbelieving, but in a blase sort of way
clotted blood?
never been punched in the mouth, huh?
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I avoid locales with a high probability of mouth-punching activity. That is my policy, and it's served me well.
But I'm still impressed how the punch managed to connect on the cheek, break off a few teeth, bloody the nose, AND give him a black eye all in one swing. If it was a series of pummelings, perhaps, but we only get to see the one here.

It's like in the Dragonball mangas, you perceive one punch, but he landed a dozen
the nose will bloody at the drop of a hat. The eye will blacken pretty easily too.
It looks like he punched him on the cheek bone which would definitely give you a black eye. Depending on the position of his jaw it could easily knock a tooth or two out.
Not to mention breaking the cheekbone or eyesocket or both. Your cranium is very strong, but the bones in your face, not so much.
don't let video games or movies fool you, a single punch to the face can seriously fuck you up. Especially if the puncher is experienced and the punchee is not expecting it.

it split open the inside of my cheek, bloodied my nose and cracked a tooth which later needed to be pulled.
And yes I got a black eye after a few hours.

Wouldn't open-carrying prevent more initial punches than concealed carrying?
So the best strategy would be wait until you get into a vocal confrontation, then be like "Ah, ah, ah!" and open your coat to reveal your pistol.
Oh America
u jelly
Fetch your gun, just in case.
This strategy depends entirely on location.
In some regions, if you offer a glimpse of your firearm that's like saying "Guns are now an option. Feel free to escalate this confrontation at your leisure."
This is how law-abiding, upstanding citizens find themselves shot in the back while walking to their car from the club.
@#pipe: One movie that got it right is The Godfather. When the cop punches Michael Corleone in the face in the beginning of the movie and it busts his whole shit. I mean, the entire left side of his face is broken.
I don't really like MMA because of the crowd it draws but I often watch clips of it in awe of the straight on face punches these guys can take without showing much damage (at least right away). I mean, do those tiny little gloves really deaden the hits that much? You'd think there would be teeth flying everywhichway... i'unno...
And bellow Arthur's battle cry.
I've always wanted to earn a rad black eye. Walk around all badass and stuff.
Unfortunately, people would just assume that I'm a broken, scared women who's trying to cover for her boyfriend when I try to insist that I got in a bar brawl.
Also, MMA crowds are also good people. Like me.
Also also, this comic is kinda not that funny. Oh well, can't like 'em all.
jesus christ I hope you're joking

probably my least favorite minor injury
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
Though I did enjoy the face punching.
B^U
you aren't really living if you don't get punched in the mouth three, maybe four times a day
You share my birthday.
I think that means you're my nemesis, if I'm reading this prophesy correctly.
The other one, twins.
definitely fraternal
Falsch!
Call of Duty XP is some sort of an event where a Call of Duty map has been built real scale so as to function as a paint ball course. Also other things take place there.
Edit: The two dumb asses are either under real terrorist attack or attending the event.
that actually sounds pretty damn cool if you're both a big paintball and FPS fan
two groups that I assume have a large amount of overlap

Skirmish USA runs some of the bigger scenario (woodsball) events in the US.
There's a local paintball place near me that used to advertise with the tagline "This ain't no video game." I always thought that was precisely the wrong sort of marketing for their target demographic.
yeah, paintball used to make most of its money off of a more sport-style called speedball:
since Call of Duty became popular, there's been a huge shift in the player base towards scenario paintball, also called woodsball
scenario games look more like this

( I believe the interior of the castle is based on a CoD multiplayer map as well)
and the equipment tends to look much more like real world weaponry (or at least like CoD real world weaponry)
most of these are just cosmetic changes, but these guns are magazine fed, rather than using a hopper (a big tube of paintballs) which make them compatible with these:
super expensive, but fly about three times further than a regular paintball and in a much straighter line
