re: #490 Killgore Trout

Nice catch. High Res
pic before the stabbing. It looks like they also punched him in the face after he was captured too. Notice the blood on the walls as well as his attackers’ clothes.

I’m wondering if the blood on the hand is from a defensive wound (trying to fend off knife or metal bar) or if it’s from him holding a stab or other wound. In the latter photo with the blood on the pants and jockstrap it indicates that maybe he was trying to hold onto his pants with a bleeding hand, or perhaps that he has a stab wound down there. I am not certain.
