![Batting Averages [Comic, Page 2] - Calvin tries to brush off Gumm's snipe at his ego, by pretending she was incorrectly referring to his baseball bat as plastic, followed by him "clarifying" about the bat being made of aluminum and boasting about how well its properties suit him. All this does however is let Gumm get another swipe at him by pointing out that aluminum bats are used by Little League baseball players... (*cough* "...and baseball amateurs.") The last one really gets under Calvin's skin as he reacts with offense...only for Gumm to delightfully respond to his choice of words (him "begging" for her "pardon"). All Calvin can do is (rather unsuccessfully) try and walk back/clarify his statement.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bueym2u6x4svi6n7bxluxbhm/bafkreiehwti7hrv62tce6qm6ptavr3lhfyw5or3l2sr5fm7e3stsf436va)

![Batting Averages [Comic, Page 3] - Calvin, having had enough of his discussion with Gumm, informs Accel that he's leaving and that he will talk to her (and only her) later. His typically-flowery prose ends up sabotaging him even further when he tells Accel that he has more important things to "get cracking on"--which prompts Gumm to retort she would love to one day "get cracking" on him.

Calvin (who at this point has clearly had his nerves stroked by Gumm more than anything else) can only storm out of the area, rambling about the entire situation at hand.
