Dirigible ball

I remember an old B. C. comic strip in which Wiley, the character with a peg leg, is visiting his pitcher on the mound, and asks him if he can get out one more batter. "Sure, Skipper. I'm going to throw him a doozy." The next frame has only the giant letters "BAT!!" In the last frame, the manager caustically asks, "Since when is the ol ' dirigible ball a doozy?"
