How Does This Go Again?

Calvin: {Hey.}

Adorable Baby Panda: Hey.

Calvin: {It's been awhile.}

ABP: Yeah.

Calvin: {You remember how this works?}

ABP: I think so.

Calvin: {Makes one of us, then.}

3-D Man gets a Pat on the head for all the heroes shunning him. {You're condescending to him as punishment?} No! The Pat is consoling, remember? {I thought whatever it was you did to the head was punishment.} That's the Punch to the stomach. {Oh, right. Still, pats on the head are more for pets, aren't they? Even little kids don't like being patted on the head. it reminds them they're small.} Yeah, that doesn't seem right. {Didn't you console by hugging?} Yes, that's it! Delroy needs a Hug! I'm glad you remembered. {Just don't ask me how.}

{Can Deadpool receive a golf clap?} Didn't we just call it applause? {That was for things that legitimately deserved it. I think the golf clap should be for things that aren't bad enough to merit a Punch, but should still be frowned upon. Thus, a slow round of applause, devoid on any actual emotion.} Hmm, it's a little complicated, but OK, Golf Clap it is. Should Weasel get one too? {No, I think Weasel needs a Punch for going along with Deadpool. He was actually doing the good guy thing until then, and he ought to know better than to listen to Deadpool.} Alice has to receive a Punch for her attitude. {How about one for Catman? I did not approve of how he talked to his acquaintance, Jeremy.} I thought it was Jayson. {He called him Jeremy first.} He called him Jayson twice, though. {Call him what you like, just Punch Catman for his attitude!}

Should Vartox receive the golf clap? {No, I think sleeping with a married lady, then bringing your fight with her pissed off husband to a populated world merits a Punch to the stomach.} That was pretty bad, not that Galaxorg was any better. {Oh heck, no. His attitude towards Power Girl was pretty bad.} Punch! Power Girl gets real Applause, though. {No arguments. Helped the kid, whupped the meatheads, named her cat. Solid work all around.}
