Panel 2: Lemme tell ya, just about the last pistol you’d wanna shove down your pants is the far-from-concealable, notably large-framed, genuinely “BIGASS SEMIAUTO” Ruger P89. (Okay, maybe a Desert Eagle would pose even more of a problem.) Plus, in all likelihood, one would almost certainly place the handgun considerably more to one side, à la the currently popular (though holster-based) “appendix carry”; however, for this image I centered the Ruger rather more than I should have in order to fit the narrow panel shape.

Really, Thugboy would almost certainly—there’s that weasel phrase again!—be using an IWB (inside waistband) holster of some sort, but Decade-Ago Me apparently didn’t feel like drawing that.

Panel 3: “Is that a BIGASS SEMIAUTO in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?”
