Seven years later, on February 17th, 1979, Shirtless Mom gave birth to Shirtless Guy in a Planet Fitness.

== Appearences ==
Shirtless Guy has minor roles in both Skin Man 2 and Skin Man 4. In both books, he is portrayed as being incompetent costumer service, to Evil Man in Skin Man 2, and to Hip Toddler in Skin Man 4. He is little more than just a joke.
In Skin Man Remastered, however, this is changed. Though his character is still humorous, he is taken more seriously. In the story, Skinman causes the death of Shirtless Guy's best friend by burning down a Taco Bell, this causes Shirtless Guy to become the main prosecutor against Skinman when he's taken to court. Later, in the adaptation of his scene in Skin Man 2, he's shown to be to depressed, too busy mourning the loss of his friend to help Evil Man find knives. Then, after a quick Skinman adventure, he kicks Evil Man out of the store because the store was about to close and isn't seen again.
