WRT the baseball strip:
Hmm. Maybe that’s why some pitchers hold up their glove in front of their face before most pitches.

At least cats crap in designated areas and have the decency to cover it up.

The baseball strip reminds me of an early Bill Cosby routine, about playing football for Temple. The story was about a televised game, where the players were warned before going out “do not touch certain areas of your body on the football field.” The expected happens to him.

So the child’s stench is so foul that it’s literally burning the father’s eyes? That’s lovely. I’m SO glad I have cats instead.

Padraig, medical tampons don’t have strings attached.

Mitch4, the cartoonist could simply have used the word “crotch” instead of “balls” in order to get it past the editors.

Some pitchers throw 100+ pitches a game. If he picks his nose before EVERY pitch, he better have a good otolaryngologist on call. Or at least a couple of tampons to stop up his bloody nose. Which also wouldn’t look so good on national TV, what with the strings and all…

The RLA also made me laugh, but I worry about the parenting skills of a dad that doesn’t immediately change the diaper of a tot with a full load on his shoulder.

(woops)

Making him the pitcher muddies the waters a little. The pitcher isn’t supposed to, say, run his fingers through his hair, since that may be a way of getting a foreign substance onto the ball; and picking his nose might (ewww) count the same. But it reads more like the cartoonist wanted to substitute something for “scratch your balls”.
