Gil Thorp lurches awkwardly into basketball season and a new storyline…
But This Week In Milford is still on…
Marshall Lopat’s tattoo! Everybody’s seen it, except us! What the hell is it? Would it kill you to tell us what it is even if you’re afraid to draw it as part of this VISUAL ART FORM YOU CALL A COMIC STRIP??!!
Is Marshall Lopat’s tattoo generating buzz because it’s awesome or because it’s an utterly awful train wreck? Oh, and thanks for interrupting with your tired cliche “coaching” Gil. That’s better than hearing about Marshall Lopat’s tattoo.

While Lini practices in a sweater vest, let’s mercifully cut away to…
Milford Ink (the place of origin of Marshall Lopat’s tattoo). Ransom Hale and Kitten are waiting for the stampede of high school kids who will be beating a path to their door once the word about Marshall Lopat’s tattoo gets around. Kids will be asking for tattooed portraits of their girlfriends that actually look like Cloris Leachman.
On second thought, looking at Kitten’s sleeve of Rorschach tests, don’t bother showing Marshall Lopat’s tattoo.
Marshall’s tattoo? The schedule from the last time the Mudlarks had a wining season in football? A replicate Firebird as shown on the hood of the 1977 Trans Am to commemorate his conception? A picture of Gil saying Don’t Tread on Me? A picture of Kaz saying Ease Up, Friend? The mind staggers from the possibilities.

12/9 P1: Even with Skelletor, this suckfest of a team is still not gonna make the playdowns. Count it!
12/9 P2: Note to Summers: if you really want sum MHS gal action then quit cutting your own hair with the flowbee!
12/10 P2: Ransom Hale is wearing chaps! He’s obviously given Lini the needle many times.

Wow, that’s the most intense coaching I’ve seen from Gil in years. Must still have some leftover rage from his dressing-down of Deke ‘n Wildcat. Or maybe there’s still a bit of pride flickering somewhere deep within the old sot.

Kitten=Veronica and Reggie’s prom-mistake daughter.
Cortez Beecher sighting 12/09 p1! I hope he doesn’t waste any of his God-given talents. Tebow-’em, Cortez!

You gotta admit that the cheetah spots on Kitten’s face are quality work. Not sure about the nose “O” she has, or the giant hand tatted on her breast in panel 3.

i think kaz will call dick tracy to milford after he gets a look at kitten.of course kaz will get a tattoo and find half the whatever team there . the only way gil shows up is if he hears mimi getting a portrait of wildcat on her ass . by the kazs tattoo will say gils safe place right above his ass crack

Five laps will concentrate our concentration on getting even.
We know where you live.
What you drive is unclear, but we know where you park.

[...] Lunkhead: Hey, for $30, can I get one o’ those tattoos that changes from day to day, like that chick over there has on her arm? Talking Belt Buckle: Wow, you brought a whole $30? Gee, [...]
