Why are they holding the Milford Mensa meeting in the locker room? Just how stupid are these guys?

Why is Kaz in the locker-room – again?

no guys no! Would you jump off a cliff if everyone else was?!

Good thing Kaz didn’t tell him he was playing defense like a fat woman singing opera. That would have been an awkward tattoo.

Looks like these goofballs wear game unis for practice also. Maybe Parker should try some Grecian formula. It worked for Joe Paterno. Bowen needs 2 hits, one to the jaw, one hitting the floor.

I agree with bearwku82. As soon as I read today’s strip, I was thinking Parker needs a punch in the jaw.

Parker “Forest Gump” Bowen. Stupid is as stupid does.

Why is Coach Pedo in the locker room again? Need we point it out?

Parker has joined the Black Panthers?

I can’t help it. I keep reading Parker’s words in that last panel as “Everybody must get stoned!”

This is GREAT! I wish I was Kaz. I’d keep changing the animal comparisons with Parker just to see how many tats Parker could get.

Wow! I guessed right from yesterday. He did get a panther tattoo.

Where is it? On his chest? It looks like a Richard Simmons workout shirt.

Is that it on his right calf in P1?

I am a bit surprised that I thought the panther was a leopard. I should have remembered that although it is difficult to distinguish between a leopard and a jaguar, when either are black, they are generally referred to as panthers. Do we really want me teaching kids anything?

Don’t believe it. The “M” is for Mimi, and that’s a cougar tatoo. This strip is going all “Last Picture Show” on us.

Good thing it wasn’t a cougar. That would be offensive.

Lini asks: “Can I pet your kitty?”

coaches being in the locker room actually isn’t weird. coach kaz pointing at Parker’s groin and asking if it’s a leopard IS weird.

Good call cretta! But I still don’t get where it’s located. On his arm? Leg? P2 is really odd, what are the black parts around the skin?

Imagine the tattoo if he calls somebody a ball hog.
