I think there is actually a proviso in the rules of Cricket for just such an eventuality as depicted above, but being a human living in the year 2014 I have no way to be sure, as no-one can tell the truth from the folk tales these days, Cricket being seen by most of the British population as an urban legend much like Black Shuck and the CHUDs of London, though there's a lot of evidence to suggest that Cricket was actually played in the British Isles as recently as the 1950s. It's worth pointing out that it's just as likely this evidence is anecdotal, based on glimpses of the sport on television which were most probably episodes of Doctor Who, but I decided to use Cricket as a bit of British flavor for the J6 strip as non-Brits still think it's a real sport played there, much as they believe that Scotland still has a dinosaur living in its largest lake. Not that I'm knocking non-Brits - in this part of the world, it's still believed by many that the American Bigfoot isn't extinct, and that Texas isn't part of Mexico.
After the two weekend strips, I think that's the last we'll be seeing of J6 here on YFaN, though I think the blog itself is coming to the end of its useful life anyway and will shortly be taken to the knackers yard and turned into whiskey money. IT'S WHAT HE WOULD WANT.
Have a good weekend, y'all.
