oh yeaaahhh

mega-fives should only be rendered to those who deserve it. if your friend does something only worthy of a high five and you give him a mega-five, he will carry around latent guilt for the rest of his life. he will always seek to do something worthy of the mega-five, and he may forever fall short. it is not an easy hole to crawl out of. use them with care

The weird thing is, it's the recipient who decides that a normal high-five isn't good enough - whatever job he did, he did it so well that a normal high-five would just be insulting.

A mega-five is certainly a fearsome force. I shall make sure to use this power for good.

I can't help imagining an alternative ending to this strip.
The two mega-fivers flash silently past each other faster than the eye can follow and come to a halt a couple of paces later, standing stock still with their backs to each other.
Moments of absolute stillness tick past.
An onlooker finally opens his mouth to ask 'So, did you guys mi-?'
The air between them gathers and explodes with the force of a sonic boom, shattering windows for miles around...

Oh I don't know about this man, I don't think anyone wants to eat a pizza so overdone that it can slice a man's head off

I mean never mind that a more science-y comic would be wondering "just how much velocity would the pizza require to cut through skin and bone?" Nobody wants any Domino's that's been burnt all to hell.

Oh man! My friend Charles and I totally used to do this in high school! We'd strike karate poses, pause for effect, then unleash a series of high-five kung-fu palm strikes, with Bruce-Lee-style exclamations of "hyaa!" and "woo-CHA!"

This comic brings back such beautiful memories.
