No Moshing

Jackass...

Panel 1 : A mosh pit at a concert. Lights stream down, music notes hover above the crowd, and one person shoves another, who breaks out of the panel. He has liberty spikes, ripped jeans, and combat boots. He wears a shirt for the band “G.U.N.” He smiles.

Punk: Thanks for holding my jacket! I’m going to try and beat the merch line.

Friend: Good plan! See ya soon!

Punk: People are gonna mosh.
