Are there any high school coaches in the world that would be asking each other if their team is “bonding” or it there are “factions” developing, especially after winning a road game? Well, there are a few that would but only to support the development of a plot about factions. But not just any factions, but completely stupid factions, like one group that wants to ask for commentary from the rest of the team about their junk and another group that would rather not participate.

Oh right, it’s not about junk judging but tattoos, ass ugly tattoos and a few people that seem to be placing undue importance in them.

What the hell, it’s Milford. Let the tat war begin! Ugh.
I’ve been puzzling over this for some time: what the hell body part is that panther tattoo supposed to be on?!? The close-up looks like assless chaps. (Not that I’d know what that looks like…)

Inside of right forearm.

Yes, they’ve bonded Gil, just like you and Kaz do when you’re at the gym *ahem*, “pumping iron”.
Jason, I thought the same thing you did. But I thought from the way Lini’s doppleganger is smiling and from the way Lini is looking downward that he had the panther(?) tattooed on his manly bits. Cortez the killer looks thoughrly disgusted at this random act of flashing.
I’ve seen better prison tattoos on Lockup Raw than this tat that’s on Parker Lewis’ arm/ass cheeks/shaved pubes. Parker’s look as he says “Everyone should get a tattoo” reminds me of the way the villagers looked when they were going to get torches and chase after the Frankenstein monster.
“Not all of us are 18, Parker”.
“No problem. Just bring a parent to sign off on it. Or bring Cortez. He’s about 40. Better still, anyone know if Clambake is hanging around? He’d sign the permission slip for a sawbuck and a bottle of Colt 45.”
That’s right Lini, be a buzzkill. We get it. “Metrosexuals” wouldn’t be caught dead with tattoos.

Its on the side of his right leg – look at the bottom of the strip above the border. You’ll see the top of the tattoo.

I saw the mark on his leg. It doesn’t look like the close-up.
1/19 panel 3 – he’s facing the crowd, not sideways to them.
1/20 panel 1 – he’s holding his arm forward for inspection by Kaz.
So, it’s probably on his leg.

Tat war. Really? This is really stoooopid, even by Gil Thorp standards.
And yes, I realize that I find myself saying that at least twice a year.

EVERYONE should have a tattoo! C’mon. Blog unity. Let’s all get some ink! I’m getting a Nut Boy! They’re shitty! Check it! Count it! Bonk! HRONK! FOOZLE!

You see your 1st pair of assless chaps [for me Commercial St, P-town, Cape Cod] and it’s an image burned deep in your synapses. At least the gentleman had de-forested himself… or maybe someone else had done it for him? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I was there for the whale watch, honest!
Parker thinks Kaz is talking ’bout his new tat… but it’s clearly Kaz is pointing to Parker’s crotch..

How did #30 switch from a white jersey to a dark jersey? Did his tattoo fade?

1/20 P1: It looks like Parker is sporting a raging boner and the guy on the bench is wrapping a towel around it so Kaz won’t know what’s going on. Parker could be up to his nuts in sitting guys face and Kaz wouldn’t catch on…..8 years at Penn State will do that to you…..

No it doesnt look like the closeup, but by this strips standards, its close enough. I still vote side of right leg – need more strips to confirm it. The suspense is killing me..I still dont like the utter distraction this issue is causing the team, and I just know they’ll pay for it down the road.

We can only hope this will lead to Marty Moon dubbing the heavily tattooed Milford team as the “Thuglarks”.
Comment by billytheskink — January 23, 2012 @ 7:09 am
I’ve had Marty Moon tattooed in the small of my back for years! I really only get to show it off when I wear my cardboard bikini, though. FOOZLE!

They’re going to change this into an R-rated comic as the girls’ team starts getting tats — it will be a case of tit-for-tat.
Comment by Elmo — January 23, 2012 @ 3:07 pm
Or would that be tat-for-tit?
Comment by Elmo — January 23, 2012 @ 3:08 pm
Jules, I’m looking forward to seeing that tat when we do our coffee table dance. Just no paper cuts getting that cardboard bikini top off! I admit that you are full of surprises- I would never have guessed your Malibu license plate would consist of Marty Moon’s mug.

Dammit, Don the Reb , I went and got a blog-unity tattoo with my last $30 and and now it turns out that Leviticus prohibits it! I’m going to hell and its all your fault.
