Meanwhile, Gil slips $20 each to Ric the fake choker and Lini the fake sicko. “Cut into my perfect record of no playdowns? Hell no!”

“Getting the tat shows you care more than talent! Or something like that. Ever since I got the tat, I’ve played better…or worse? I can’t remember. Damn this season is long!”

Rubin: Wait there’s a February 29th now? Well…I don’t get paid for an extra day? Let’s mail it in!
Whigham: But…how will people tell the difference?
Rubin: How about you draw an even creepier dislocated pointing hand than you normally do?
Whigham: As you wish.

It appears the parents in this town are even more incompetent than Gil. “We found a consent letter on our computer! We better blame the coach for our parenting failures!”
Up next: Gil puts Kaz on the case and determines it was Cliff the drummer who created that printout!
2/29 panel 3: Who is this chick anyway?
She seems to have popped up out of nowhere.

Please don’t make any references to The Awesome Punching Summer of 2007. It just makes me sad, like bringing up a dead girlfriend.

Ric Devore is Bill Hawkins, Parker is a young Gil, and I’m pretty sure Mr. and Mrs. Devore have appeared in this strip before as someone someone else. This can only mean that Milford is actually a top secret government cloning facility. Outside of Kaz and Dr. Pearl, who hasn’t had a doppleganger or two in the Whigham era?

I just hope Mr. and Mrs. Devore didn’t forget, as visitors, to sign in.

Looks like Gil’s secret plan to miss the playdowns is coming together nicely. Mysterious lingering illness for Lini… pending suspension for Parker… a couple easy losses, and Gil can get out the golf clubs. Other notes…
2/28 p2: Are Parker and Ric drinking bubble tea?
2/29 p1: “You’d have it for the next two seasons”??? Then what? It wears off? Did you hear that from Kiwi Tat Man?
2/29 p3: “They look steamed.” No, they’re just really, really pale, like most of Milford’s population.
3/1 p3: Uh-oh, look out! Gil has engaged his Exploding Eye Power! Evildoers (and DVD pirates) beware!

Ooh, missed one…
2/29 p3: Gee, I hadn’t realized that Milford has a varsity Line Dance team. Or is that a Human Centipede team?
