Bad Idea #33: That's Not Cricket
16 years ago
Bad Ideas explained: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/321008/ Includes index.
A game I don't follow, but...
This is not my usual as it includes the action (or almost) and the effect. It is rather nasty, at least for me.
This is also a 5 or 6 panel cartoon so it's rather involved.
Panel 1: Male from behind or 3/4, seen bound at up against a wooden "wall," strapped to it. The wall is short enough he can see over it. This isn't a solid wall, but more like a pillory that he's strapped to. Female might be visible in distance, in a cricket batsman's outfit.
Panel 2: A view from the front of the wall/pillory. The male's balls are trapped on the front side, the rest of him (except perhaps his head) is behind. The thing is locked (lock might be visible in first panel) down. Lettering on the pillory reads, "The wicked gate" (a bad pun on wicket gate).
Panel 3: Side view or slightly front view of pillory. Behind (deeper in shot) is the female with her flat or near-flat cricket bat, taking aim.
Panel 4: Same view, but the bat is being swung, motion blur and streaks indicate it's being swung with great force. It's just about to make contact...
Panel 5: (version A) View from behind the pillory. Male is slumped and female is walking away, whistling. Bat is not visible or is only partly visible. There is no gore, though there might be a couple drops of blood spatter visible someplace.
Panel 5: (version B) View from behind, female at side, swing completing. Male stiffened up, fully alert(?) and clearly in great pain.
Panel 6 (if 5b is used): Same as panel 5, version A.
Overall Caption (below all panels): "She may have 'hit him for six' but that's just not cricket."

Now that one just had to hurt more than it sounds.

I think "unimaginably painful" probably describes it well. Or were you referring to the bad puns?

Oh no, I was talking about the pain. After reading that, the puns were not painful at all.

OP
Ah. It's not as if some of my other Bad Ideas wouldn't be similarly painful. It's just that in this set of frames, it's (almost) shown rather than just the the... impending doom or the possibility of it.
