"Roly-Polympics 2012: Men's Tennis"

When I'd posted my first 'progress report' on these new "Roly-Polympics" cartoon gags a while ago - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3673365/ - I'd received a comment from 
Leonard Greenland, who suggested that I include a Brazilian giant anteater among the menagerie of portly players in one of my gags... which I'd finally accomplished.
The difficult part was trying to figure out what sporting event would be best suited for his 'fursona'; so, I finally went with 'men's tennis' - pitting the ample anteater against a corpulent crocodile. We find the two rivals at mid-court, following the end of one set, where Leonard has a tough time trying to swallow his pride - and trying to avoid swallowing that tennis ball lodged in his snout, after the croc's last play!

Well, I could've had the tennis ball lodged in Leonard's belly button, but cartoon gags of that nature are 'a dime a dozen'!

Maybe, by sneezing the tennis ball out of his snout, Leonard could develop a new type of 'serve' out of this!

Thank you for the positive feedback, Leonard. The only other tennis-related gag I could think of was having your anteater ingest a large number of tennis balls (giving your 'fursona' a bulgy, bumpy belly), and becoming a ball dispenser - shooting each one (through the snout) at a player with a racket; but I was afraid that this gag would involve multiple panels, which I didn't have the time to draw. (Besides, a 'ball dispenser' gag in "B.C." - with an anteater spewing out baseballs - was already drawn and published earlier this year.)
