The Power of Christ-elbows compel you!

“Trouble? I’d say the one in trouble is you, Molly. Your ‘Baihi I’ book is barely blocking that disembodied zombie hand from copping a serious feel! So good luck with that. Me? I’m off to my DHV class to swoon over my adorable boyfriend whom I fantasize is Gil Thorp.”

Not so adorable: Cortez and his rogue elbows! But effective in using the power of Jesus to knock the living shit out of  the Valley Tech Heathens. “I’ll crusade your jaw, bi-atch.  Christ-elbows compel you to clear the lane!”

But the question remains:  Are any of the various detached and/or dislocated arms in panel three related to the zombie arm from panel one?

1/25/11

Please, please, please for the love of all of Cortez’s holy bangin’ appendages, let this be Jam-Jar’s Wally Pipp moment.

  1. Nutboys? They’re effective!

    Gil saying “don’t be shy” to Lido Shuffle as Lido looks down at Gil’s bulging appendage.

    I predict that Cortez is going’s holy elbow is going to knock the gay out of Leeni.

    The reason Leeeni’s replacing JamJar is because he got taped to the locker again.

    Is JamJar going to be so pissed about being replaced that he’ll start rumors about Leeno’s questionable masculinity? Nah, that would be too interesting.

  2. I meant to say Cortez’ holy elbow is going to knock the gay out of Leeni…damn, it’s too early!

  3. Ease up, Regina. Count it! They’re shitty!

    DHV = Danish Havarti Vulcanization, a class devoted to the science of turning cheese into durable materials for industrial uses.

    Baihi I is one of the primary texts in a comparitive religions class. It outline the primary principles of the Baihi belief which was conceived by the Chinese actress Bai Ling. Molly is secretly planning to convert and devote her life to shoplifting and general skankiness.

    Cortez Beecher’s tiny head sez, “Hey fools, get off my boards!”

    Meanwhile, Marty Moon is Herman Munster’s evil twin

  4. The guy behind Marty is yelling “Sing Tarzana Nights!”

  5. Where did the bottom half of Molly’s textbooks disappear to?
    and Kayla’s earrings: tiny rulers or thermometers?

  6. Paradise = The Bucket. Only in Milford!

  7. Gotta say, I like the artwork of 1/25 panel #1 – good perspective!

    Cortez had better make a pass to an open Milford player, given that he has three VT’s on him right now.

    Creepy little hand is going to enter the back of Marty’s head in panel #3 – but won’t find anything there but an empty flask!

  8. Gil to Lini: Step right up and don’t be shy, because you will not believe your eyes. She’s right here behind the glass, and you’re gonna like her, ’cause she’s got class.

    Does Cortez Beecher, daily devotionalist and rentier of the boards, have the words “Love” tattoed on one elbow and “Hate” on the other, sort of like the Rev. Harry Powell in “The Night of the Hunter”? Cuz, that would be teh awesome!

    How many days until baseball season? Count it!

  9. #8: Love the Karn Evil 9 reference! Count it!

    Comment by Regina — January 25, 2011 @ 9:43 am

  10. Beecher owns the boards! He is a rebounding ace! He is the king of rebounds, gents! Count it! NUTBOY!!!

    Whoa, I gotta ease up. I know nothing about what this blogging is all about, but then I live in a tank town and minored in geography.

  11. Knock the crap out of them and then pray over their bodies. Go Cortez Go!

    Comment by Ray — January 25, 2011 @ 11:21 am

  12. Jamarr sez, “That was the most expensive headache the Ghost ever had!”

    I think the arm going across Cortez’ chest in panel 3 is attached to the zombie hand in panel 1. Don’t be shy, zombie arm!

  13. I think Kayla is morphing into Kay Morgan…

    Comment by Milfordian — January 25, 2011 @ 3:07 pm

  14. #13: If that means shitty sloppy joes and cheesy poofs, count it!

    Comment by Dood — January 25, 2011 @ 3:37 pm

  15. #9 Sorry not a reference to ELP. More like the Tubes “She’s a Beauty”. Oh to be the kid in the Tunnel of Love for that video.

  16. You have to admire Cortez Beecher’s “Puny huuuuuuu-monnnnn” style of hoops.

    Out of respect for his mad skillz, shouldn’t the rest of the team pull a Brynna and shave their pates?

    Comment by Dood — January 25, 2011 @ 4:13 pm

  17. #7 Milfordian, I agree– I like the aerial point of view in 1/25 p1 too, even if the paint circle on the floor is a little sketchy. But in the previous day’s final panel, it appears Cortez is not only applying a first degree concussion to the opposing player but has already dislocated the kid’s shoulder– it looks like the head of the VT player’s humerus must be somewhere near the wrong end of his collarbone by now.

  18. #15: you’re right…sorry…too much imbibing with Gil LOL.

    Today’s strip: I think Leeni is looking for broken nose #14 from Cortez.

    Comment by Regina — January 26, 2011 @ 7:38 am

  19. Not so adorable: Cortez’s enormous head (1/25 panel 3). It’s as big as a basketball!

    Why hasn’t he yet earned the nickname “The Killer”?

    Comment by delvaldawg — January 28, 2011 @ 8:40 am

  20. As for Kayla’s book: that it’s a driver’s handbook and the letters are “DMV” would be too obvious.

    Comment by delvaldawg — January 28, 2011 @ 8:43 am

  21. Anyone who thinks Jamjar is going anywhere before the end of the school year is kidding themselves. He is the douche for all seasons. If he’s written out of the strip, they’ll have to expend energy naming and drawing a new character to be annoying, and you know that’s way too much work for this crew.

  22. [...] keep things simple and lazy, Marty Moon repeats his pose from January 25th, complete with requisite claw hand preparing to strangle him (thanks to eagle-eye reader Regina for [...]
