This week’s posts brought to you by KAZ-BOT!
KAZ-BOT has determined that this plot probably makes no sense. Or in the rare chance that it does, the artwork is probably crappy. KAZ-BOT invites you to post your feeble human analysis of the events depicted above.
Wow, Paris is looking more manly every day. At this rate, some opposing team will demand she take a hormone test. Tyler, of course, will have the opposite issue: he’s just too darn pretty. Even after a vicious attack, his hair is perfect!
Buh-buh-but why doesn’t he want to call the police? Could he know the identity of his attacker? Is it some secret forbidden love? Or is it just the alien parasites talking?
I assume the guy who looks just like Paris is her brother or father or something. Is he supposed to have an eyepatch in panel 3, or did Frank McLaughlin spill a little ink and say to himself, “Oh, the hell with it.”
And who is that mysterious figure in the background? Peggy Wyche? Rick Bozich? That basketball fan with the knit cap and feather boa? Congresswoman Betty Bright? Cigarette Smoking Man from “The X-Files?”

My crack research has determined that the guy who looks like Paris is Grant. He hosted the last party, which ended with exploding mailboxes. Of course, since there is only one black family in Milford, he must be Paris’ brother. Until now, I always assumed Paris was Grant in drag.

My guess is that it was a crack deal gone awry, or something. Or he was stabbed by a stiletto-wielding tranny prostitute in a pre-party quickie gone awry. Something went awry, somewhere.

p.s.: I kind of hope it was actually the “friendly” bear from Mark Trail…

Seems pretty suspicious to me that Jason suddenly takes off for a “honeymoon” to an “undisclosed location” the day after Tyler is attacked. I’m just sayin’.

Nice work, B — picking up on the connection between parties and unpleasant incidents. First, an exploding mailbox; now, a crack on the skull. It’s like a low-grade horror flick: every time the teens of Milford throw a bash, you know that mischief is afoot. Kids, next time just go to the Bucket!
However, I don’t think Paris and Grant are related. Grant’s last name is Sanders, and I believe Paris was once referred to as “Paris Lang.” And if they were the product of a broken home, I’m sure we would have had a storyline about it already. Besides, Grant has never looked nearly as butch as that. He’s a tall cool glass of water.
Sam: Are you saying the friendly bear from Mark Trail is a crack-dealing tranny prostitute??? Heavens to Betsy!

It’s a setup. Tyler’s girlfriend concocted the plot. They are going to blame it on the other
kid who took his place as starting point guard. They are doing a “Gillooly”. Only in reverse.
She probably enjoyed giving him the shot to the head to make it look real. Good thing they
have a member of the press already on the girl’s team.

What’s a Gillooly? Something to do with Gil, is what I’m supposing.

Jailbird, a Gillooly harkens back to the 19-whatever-year Olympics, when Tonya Harding’s husband Jeff Gillooly, whacked her rival Nancy Kerrigan’s knee.

You’re exactly right Tim. If Tyler had been legitimately attacked he would have been
lying in the yard crying “Why me! Why me!” If Gil uses the same judgment as the U.S.
Olympic selection committee then both point guards will move into the starting lineup
and Ted Pearse will move to the pine. But unfortunately for Tyler Jay this is Gil Thorp
and Coach Kaz, a couple of hard body pipe hitters in their own right. Justice will be
served. Ah 1994! If got so bad for Tonya’s Jeff that he changed his name to Jeff Stone.
