      I was hit by a boomerang, a few years ago. Now you should fear my revenge.

        I couldn't quite remember how to throw a boomerang correctly. But eventually, it came back to me.

          Guest artist, not Olivia Jaimes, on Nancy did this. Makes me wonder if Kent and Olivia have something going on? Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for August 26, 2024 - GoComics[^] Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for August 30, 2024 - GoComics[^]

            What do you call a boomerang that doesn't return? A stick.

              Lol, Brought to mind the time when our family was on vacation. There was a soccer field near where we were staying and early in the morning there was no one around. Figured it was a safe place to let him try it out. Went onto the field. He was about 8 or 9 years old. He wound up and let it fly. It started to rise and began a rapid curve. After turning past 90 degrees it was obvious that it was catching the air just right. It continued to rise and curve until it was on a direct line back to him. His face went from glee to horror as the boomerang began a rapid decent. Like some crazed predator it came screaming back to earth. My son turned and started to run away. The boomerang swooped in and got him right in the back before he had taken more than 3 steps.

                did he try again or drop it?

                M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                  We continued to throw the boomerang for another hour and could not get it to come back to us. Mostly it would turn to about a 90 degree angle and drop to the ground. Kind of gave up after that point and went back to kicking a soccer ball around the field.

                    Similar story. In my 8th grade shop class we did a fiberglass unit in which you could make a boomerang. After it was complete and graded I brought it home. Me and my 2 younger brothers went to a nearby field to test it out. My first throw it flew flat and level for about 40 or 50 yards when it suddenly bent up in the air circled about 90 degrees left and did a kamikaze run down at the 3 of us. It was like a drill Sargent yelled "INCOMING!". We leapt to the side and hit the dirt like it was a live grenade. It smacked into the ground about 10-15 feet from where we were. Try as we might we never were able to replicate that first throw. One of my brothers did keep practicing over the summer and was improving quite a bit until he hit a telephone pole and cracked it up.
