Little Willy | Page 95 | Sketch

He deserved it. Or does he?

I think I'm going to have to lighten the punch up to a backhand or slap. Cody is furious but I don't think he'd have it in him to go all out, especially against a little fella. But regardless, big horse is big and he's strong and he hits harder than he means to

I'm also 100% sure Willy never thought Cody would hit him

There's a little narrative karma here too. Willy hit someone earlier in the story who we can probably agree deserved it; he kinda deserves to be smacked now by that same standard
