Alter-Ego Improvements #1

Once in a while you find an alter ego picture that makes an improvement on the original character. The Don Johnson Miami Vice version of Kevin Thompson, IMHO, is one of those improvements. Maybe it's just the novelty of seeing him out of that dang football uniform, or maybe the style of clothing just looks good on him. This could easily be Kevin after high school.

Speaking of which, where would Kevin be after high school? He's too stupid for college, but he's still athletic and, if his performance in "A Tree Grows in Lawndale" was any judge, very good at speaking to crowds of children. Could he get work as an assistant coach, or as a sports coach or counselor for disadvantaged youth? Would he join the military, as some fanfics have suggested, either as a patriotic response to 9/11 or just because no other jobs were available for one such as he? He's almost underqualified for the modern military as there is such a powerful demand for technical skills, but everyone needs a grunt, and Kevin's QB talent would come in handy with grenades, no? Something to think about, anyway.

Though dumb as a box of hammers, Kevin at least had a good heart. Good luck, Kev, and don't forget to write.

Well, now that you're talking about Kevin as Don Johnson - -why not the Lawndale police force instead of the US Army? ;)
