Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for February 28, 2012

It’s against the law to get a tat when you’re under 18, and of course Mr.Ransom would never do anything like breaking the law, right? You know, the guy who sells pirated DVD’s?

This comic has its flaws; but it does produce some truly Hobart-sized villains. So far, we have the Fagin-like Tattooist and his pathetic disciple Parker. Add Marty Mooon, and we have a plethora of scumbags in one adventure.

Got a kick out of a pop-up ad when I called up Gil Thorp. It was for Netflix, of all places. I thought Ransom had almost put them out of business.

@davidblack — Good reference to Fagin. And although it’s not an exact analogy, Parker does keep going back to Ransom and saying “Please, sir, I want some more.”

Get out the sharpie.

I was hoping Milford had a neat name for their gym, other than GYM. I think Bowen took young Ric to The Bucket to make him comfortable before “pitching him” on the tat. I be Random Task pays a handsome commission on new business.

In P2, it looks like Parker is flashing some kind of secret Milford salute, and I think he’s stolen Marty’s wristwatch.

P1: CAR, featuring Tire

The gym should be called, “The Gil Thorp Memorial Athletic Center”, since he’s been dead from the neck up these last few years. And the men’s room definitely have a Marty Moon Memorial Urinal. And where’s Kaz after his visit to the Kiwi Tat King? I know, I know, he’s contacting NCIS to get that hot tatted Abby to go undercover and nail Ransom, thus aiding her long lost sister Kitten who has come under his evil influence.

You’re right Uncle Kaz, wrong path! Will Gil and Kaz show up to the rescue? Does Parker get booted at some point?

He also is advising Lini to change his name to Ochocinco.

Didn’t they christen the new gym to honor Jack Berrill some years’ back?

“That Ric loser choked at the line and might have cost us the championship.”“We all hate him, let’s give him an atomic wedgie when he shows up for practice.”“There he is now, changing, let’s get him!”“Wait! He got one of those block M tattoos!”“Huzzah!” “Huzzah!”(Ric carried out of locker room on teammates shoulders.)

I think it was the Jack Berrill football stadium.

Could those be bacon flavored milkshakes?

What a role model Parker is!

Is that Donald Fagin?
