Mike: You know, J.J., I'm really pleased to meet you finally. I've always wondered what you were like. I've never forgotten how much your mother used to talk about you that summer she hitched a ride from me to Boulder. JJ: Wait a minute! You mean, you were the guy who gave mom a life on his motorcycle? Mike: Well, me and my friend Mark. It's his motorcycle-- a big, black BMW. JJ: Oh, wow! You guys wear leathers? Mike: Live in them. This is just borrowed.

I could have sworn that Mike’s line in the third panel was: “It’s his motorcycle, but I use it a lot.”

Stars in her eyes: “You guys wear leathers?” She is thinking bada$$ rebel, as someone put it yesterday, and he is thinking with a body part other than his brain. Never mind that he was riding itch on the bike.

Nowadays if a guy said he was into leather, it would mean the girl was wasting her time.

The most rebellious thing Mike ever did was to create Mister Butts…which is quite an accomplishment for one lifetime!

“Well, perhaps among YOUR associates”.It probably depends on purpose.Having a deep desire to wear leather (into leather) versus desire to retain your flesh (in or wearing leather)gives context
