− | " | + | "Punch Buggy" is a game played by two people with a view of traffic (often, but not in this case during a car ride). For each Volkswagen Beetle that passes nearby, the first player to see it is entitled to punch the other player, while calling "Punch Buggy" followed by the colour of the spotted Beetle. Traditionally the other player is permitted to return the punch, unless the first player also calls "no punch back". |
− | + | Implicit in this game is the idea that you can make rules just be declaring them (e.g. "no punch back") even if those rules are ridiculously unfair. When the man in the comic realizes this, he decides to make the game stakes more desirable than just the right to punch someone, and (seemingly successful) uses the same principle to secure the right to sleep with the other man's girlfriend. | |
