Whizzer is a jock.
Well, he plays raquetball (but so does Marvin) and he likes baseball (but we have no evidence that he plays it, though he does coach Jason). I don't know if that qualifies him as a jock, or even a jock type. Were he a jock, I imagine that there might be a sports-playing reference somewhere in "The Games I Play" - but we only get a reference to canasta and that he bets on horses. ;-)
I tend to think of him more as just the prototype of a young extremely appealing/attractive gay man. I hesitate to say he's a "pretty boy," (because I tend to think that implies some androgyny, which I don't think needs to be part of the character's look or style), but in a sense I think of that much more than "jock." |
