Zebediah:
Ultimate bowling: the bowling balls must be made of stone that the players must quarry by themselves on-site and then shape into a ball using only a hammer and chisel. Also the pins are explosive, so you usually need a new ball after every frame.
awkwardness:
is it wrong that I'd watch each of those sports as they'd be much more fun than the current sports that we have?
...sadly, the only sport able to air is cornhole.

It is very much old-school QC, and I appreciate it.
The only thing about it, as I always find with these, is that even though you can see Jeph has taken care to make each quip completely in character, it still reads to me like Jeph riffing on a concept rather than ping-pong between different people.
I also don't think there is a single character he hasn't at some point given that 'looking up at the ceiling while cracking wise' expression. It makes the characters that little bit more homogeneous.

The quips may be completely in character, but why would we expect to see Emily, Claire, and Hannelore talking about sports in any way? (Then again, why would we expect Emily to behave in a way we expect?)

Comic’s up. Everybody loves Bubbles.
