200% was enough to see it pretty well. Tank is a reporter, so not likely he will deal only in pictures. He’s going to report. Even when the action is obvious, the commentators and the colormen have to explain it. Of course the opposite of image enlargement, turning off the sound, is the answer to that.
Panel 1: Not many noticed, but the Little League World Series had a twist this year.
Not only were TV-reviewable plays expanded to include force-outs, tags, missed balls and hit basemen…
Panel 2: but both umpires and MANAGERS could call for a replay and the manager could demand a replay AFTER an umpire had declined to call for a disputed play to be reviewed.
Panel 3: Some umpires said that managers being able to call for replays after an ump has passed empowers managers - in addition to sharing responsibility with umpires to get a play right - with a powerful tool that diminishes umpires’ authority.
Panel 4: Still other umpires wonder if giving the final option on reviewing a play to managers isn’t essentially the same thing as giving them final say and some wonder how long this Little League rule - so obviously inspired by the NFL - will take to get to MLB, so troubled by recent umpire mistakes.
So be prepared to hear a familiar call ring over venues of America’s pastime…
Panel 5: “Hey, are you CRAZY!?”
But now it’s coming from an umpire and directed at a dugout.

Click on the comic and it “grows” large enough to read…

Unfortunately the magnifying glass here also makes things blurry, unlike at Comics.com, Daily Ink, Creators, … oh just make that everyone else.
Also why include this title panel? Please do it for a strip that changes it weekly like “Ink Pen”, please.

If you click on the comic to enlarge it, the print is blurry. This is the first time I’ve seen this problem with a Sunday strip.

I used the larger comic plus a magifying glass plus my reading glasses and I still couldn’t make out half the words in the caption.

Might as well not even have posted it. I wear glasses already and even enlarged I can’t read it.
