It's coloring time again, kids. Get out those brown crayons, and don't worry if you make a mess, because as the Joes will tell you--that Skidmark is okay.
If there's one constant from my childhood that I'm heartened to still see, it's the coloring book. In an age where kiddos have ready access to all sorts of screen-based entertainment, it's nice to know that there's still tactile, old fashioned fun to be had. I must have had dozens…
Okay, I talked about Big Brawler, and at the time I thought he had the worst Joe code name. I still think he does. It's generic and ridiculous at the same time. When looking through candidates to write about next, Skidmark's name struck me as the best unintended double-entendre code…
He looks like a GI joe trooper. They’re great for man in guardposts and back seats. Real tanks require a 3 or 4 man crew to function in battle. So Steeler would need some help loading and driving the Mobat.
Could’ve been they had a really tiny reference pict and assumed his glasses were goggles. At least he’s wearing a helmet and not a beret or something. And does Muskrat walk around with his machete unsheathed all the time? Might be time to visit the counselor. Look out, Shockwave!
I think the machete goes back to character recognition. I think the animation studios new quick kick would be shirtless and bare foot everywhere. But they had to draw him that way for character recognition. Otherwise kids wont know who is who.
Love GI Joe coloring books!

His weapon looks really small. Almost like a plastic child sized version of a real weapon.
He was released as ‘Treadmark’ in the UK. Presumably we can’t be as trusted not to be infantile as you guys.
Looks more like Doc to men.
AND You know “Beachhead” doesn’t have the same duel meaning in my area as it does the U.S
^ DOC
Just looks like a Green Shirt to me.

Bad name, but cool filecard!
So, if there at the pit, why is he saying “Fancy meeting you here”?

Ok, done!
