3/7/11
I would tell you what was going on in the first panel but that asshole kid keeps yelling over the dialogue, so I’ll just presume Gil is asking Lini where to buy a carnation for the lapel in that cheap suit he’s sporting.
Moving on to Barnbuttboy Pub, (new in town, so Gil hasn’t been blacklisted yet), it appears that Kelly has done several minutes of internet research, to no avail. Sounds about like what I do here. The shocking part is that Kaz remembered what the hell she told him and could repeat it to Gil. The non-shocking part is that at 5:30PM, Gil is hammered, confused, and would rather be watching the hot oiled man-on-man action on CBS.
3/8/11
I sure hope that website that is mean to Lini doesn’t make fun of the way he dresses because that would…uh, just be…tragic and inappropriate?
Enough of that. The true gem today is the insanity of panel two, featuring the return of Androgynous Mullet Person! Not only has AMP resurfaced after a four-year hiatus, he/she/it has brought a couple of friends: Sex doll girl, and the far-less popular Androgynous Collared-Shirt and Puffy Hair Easily Excitable Person (ACSAPHEEP?)! Throw in the decapitated head of Jamarr Gaddis and several creepy belly-crotch creatures and we have ourselves a classic panel, folks!
Soooo…don’t mind me. I’m just gonna stare in awe at this masterpiece for a while. It’s even got me so distracted that I barely took pause at the shadowy gang of Stretch Armstrongs about to punch out Marty Moon in the third panel. And that’s saying something.
3/7 P1: Concur, Jason: if it wasn’t for Wal-Mart Gil would have no style at all.

P2 2. Dood: And even better – they got Wolfman Jack as the quiz master!

That Androgynous Mullet Person looks like Elvis Costello. Is he watching the detectives?
Comment by Dood — March 8, 2011 @ 8:59 am
At first I thought, “too bad for Gil and Kaz, missing trivia nite tonight.” But you know, we don’t see either one in today’s strip…

Trivia nite first question: Where are the Thorp kids?
Comment by Dood — March 8, 2011 @ 9:34 am
The Thorp kids disappeared about the same time Cully Vale came to town, didn’t they?

Well, ACSAPHEEP is obviously the shouty player in 3/7 panel 1, presumably dismissed from the team for yelling while Gil is “coaching.”
So, a couple of good practices and a cheering section turns Lini from a marginal bench player into a multidimensional threat? If it were really that easy, wouldn’t the Mudlarks make the playdowns a little more often?
And if that crowd gets any more excited, they’re going to riot, rampage, and burn Milford to the ground. In a generous show of support for their favorite ambiguously gay basketball star.

The question becomes, what crazy outfits will the fans sport at the next Mudlark’s road game in order to heckle Lini?

Scott P.: I think they’ll all dress up as Charles Nelson Reilly.

New Thayer’s fans are probably planning a plaid-out, in honor of the oldest Thayer, Norman.

Oh, that old poop.

Milford’s always been a sneaky town!
Comment by Dood — March 8, 2011 @ 12:57 pm
Damn Don, you beat me to the “It’s Pat” reference! Anyway, I am just so into the awesomeness of that panel, it just speaks for itself. Mullet person is just having an orgasm over the excitement that is never seen in this strip.
I see Chief Lindt is in the Barnbuttboy Pub watching the hot oiled man on man action…or is he gathering clues as to who put up the “liniisadoucheygayguy.com”?
I’m not sure Kaz even knows what an “anonymous redirect” and a court order” are. Gil is just to drunk to give a crap. And why is a travel agent getting involved in internet shenanigans??? If she’s doing investigative work, she needs to investigate what the hell happened to Mr. Bakst or is that also a question at the Tuesday Night Trivia contest?

Oh and the asshole in panel one is shouting “Gil, Clark Kent called, he wants his suit back.”
Comment by Regina — March 8, 2011 @ 1:43 pm
OMG I am so relieved those are creepy belly-crotch people! I thought they were the Imperial Storm Troopers from the first Star Wars movie…
Comment by vaganova — March 8, 2011 @ 4:13 pm
I actually thought Gil was auditioning for a walk-on part in “Mad Men” with that suit. I thought maybe they were looking for someone to play the role of a drunken high school coach. But wait, Gil already has that role.

Are Marty Moon and Dr. Benton Quest long-lost brothers?
Comment by Dood — March 9, 2011 @ 10:15 am
Dood: No, but Marty and Dr. Rusty Venture are!
Comment by delvaldawg — March 10, 2011 @ 5:31 am
Hey, and Coach Kaz is Brock Samson’s long-lost brother. It all makes sense now. Count it!
Comment by Dood — March 10, 2011 @ 9:49 am
Would that make Lini Molotov Cocktease? Bonk!
Comment by delvaldawg — March 10, 2011 @ 10:03 am
Who’s Dr. Girlfriend, Marjie Ducey?
Comment by Dood — March 10, 2011 @ 10:18 am
That’d work.
