Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 22, 2012

Skinhead. Tattoos head to toe. Harley chopper. This kid’s going Road Warrior.

Judging from the first panel, Parker either has a toothache or very bad breath.

Poster boy for bad decision making.

It appears that Parker is going to get the chair from the Kiwi!

Does Parker have a job? It seemed like $30 was a lot for him to pay out for the first tattoo. Now he has money for bigger tattoos every week.

Where’s the money coming from? Simple, Parker’s learned from the Buckeyes of Ohio State and has been selling off some of his sports-related swag & memorabilia.

How did Random Task get to Milford? Guy must be a marketing savant, knowing this little burg was fertile ground for bootleg DVD’s, juvenile counseling and tats for young dingbats. Where is the Kitten? Haven’t seen her since before Kaz paid Mr. Task a visit.

Next tatto – Gil’s face with a circle & diagonal line.

Getting advice from a coach? How ridiculous! Now getting advice from a tattoo “artist” that was in the army makes a lot more sense

“Well, Ransom, could you put that M that disappeared back on my arm? and could you use the good ink this time?”

I guess Kitten finally got hold of a mirror and realized what a lousy artist Ransom is.

P1: Zit popped. P2: Yorick makes a cameo. P3: Combo barber/tatoo/electric chair displayed.

At least all the fingers (that we can see) are separated this time.

Not much money in tattoos or DVDs, so Ransom’s secret plan is to sell high school kids these chairs.

Kiwi. Isn’t that a shoe polish? Maybe that’s why the “M’s” are rubbing off.

He knows how to make children disappear and everyone forget they ever even existed. Watch yourself kid.

@BankerdannyYou read Lost Side too, eh?

Actually, in some ironic way, Parker’s statement in Panel 1 makes sense.

Actually, Thorp has been a coach for almost 55 years. If he hasn’t learned anything in that time, I would be surprised.

Some some reason, the torture scene in “Marathon Man” is coming to mind. Hey Parker, “Is it safe?”

Kiwi? I could’ve sworn he was Aussie.

jmcx4…..Yorick……….excellent, well played!

P3…I didn’t know Ransom was Jewish, yamulkhe is in view!
