Hey look…Marty Moon is attempting to grow his balls back! I wonder how many years it’ll be ’til they fully descend again.
A lot to like here: First we have Lini digging into Cortez for promoting Christian basketball violence (which as Cortez knows has historical precedent: Jesus was a monster on the boards but often needed to knock a few pagan heads along the way.) This needling is rough enough to cause Cortez’s chin to angrily vibrate.
Next we have an adamant declaration of “duty.” Yep, I’m totally immature enough to find that funny.
Finally, the return of Pee-Wee Herman’s suit!
“You heard him ask that? Must have been after I wandered under the bleachers to see what the burn-outs were drinking after the game. In any case, it’s an odd situation: I have the ability as a coach to put a good player in the line-up. But he just might start winning games for us…and I can’t have that. ‘Cause I’m headed to Vegas for a bachelor party the week of playdowns.”
“Wait, whose bachelor party?”
“Oh, nobody I know.”
Back at practice:
Lini disinterestedly spins his disco ball…Is that a midget talking to him, or someone down on their knees? Scratch that question. I really don’t want to know.










That’s right: Jesus “Windex” Christ didn’t play by anyone else’s rules when it was time to clean the glass.

Still waiting for the “Cortez the Killer” tag.

I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I
Can’t relax
I can’t sleep ’cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire
Cortez Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est

Good job, Mimi. M-O-O-N, that spells Moon.
You don’t want to annoy Cortez. Cortez smash!
Who’s the kid offering “tours” of his locker in 1/27, panel 3?
It’s an odd situation. Count it!

Guy in the middle of 1/26 panel 1… wait, he sneaked into panel 2 as well.
Is he John Bender or does he just like photobombing while imitating the dragon punch from Street Fighter? Either way, we don’t want to forget about him.

#5, Billy: Awesome “Breakfast Club” sighting! I can totally see Gil telling him, “Don’t mess with the bull, young man. You’ll get the horns.”
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling … Down, down, down.
Count it!

If Gil and Mimi worked together, they might organize a game of HORSE.
The idea of practicing as a team seems to have escaped them.

JB: “I really don’t want to know.” —> I’m still gonna tell ya;
1/27 P1, If that’s not desire in Lini’s eyes then Gildo is on the wagon. Cortez’s jaw movements staring at Lini’s netherbits is code for his intentions. So 1/28 P3, Cortez is on his knees but he isn’t praying. Strike up 1/76th of the section in Robert Preston’s band….

In a douche-off between Jamarr and Lini, who would win? Jamarr’s the crafty veteran douche; Lini’s the rookie douche with a short but impressive record.

I do wish these artists could draw upper lips without making them a solid black shadow. It’s as if everyone’s sporting a Dirty Sanchez.

Semper Fi, you might be right about that trombone. But I’m a little rusty at the music jokes.

ok cortez already has hair growing on his shoulder blades at 16 ? does gil have a pair of panties in his mouth panal one 1/28 plus how come lini doesnt have the flower that squirts water on his pee wee herman suit ?
Comment by mr120zcan — January 28, 2011 @ 4:29 pm
LOL I think Leeno looks like Jimmy Olsen in the second panel. He better listen to Gil, Jr. He’s cruisin’ to be broken nose number 13 and blood doesn’t go well with the Pee Wee Herman look.
Panel three: I’ll have whatever Gil and Mimi are smoking.

what’s the o/u on number of days before we see, “Ease up, Cortez!”
Comment by gwilo — January 28, 2011 @ 6:43 pm
Is everyone on the team afraid of Cortez? Oh no Lini is annoying Cortez. Well Cortez will just have to get over it
Comment by Dieclambakedie — January 28, 2011 @ 7:30 pm
1/28: Leave it to Gil to be leaving the game before the crowd has even left!
At least he is driving a big honking SUV these days (panel 2) – not as likely to get injured in an accident on his way home from the PUB.
