Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 06, 2012

Yep, I called this one, deflection to Gallagher! Now, about the run back, will he score or while running over an unprepared offensive unit?

Milford High seems to produce more than its share of budding junior con artists. But I can’t imagine a school anywhere whose students wouldn’t laugh Doyle Dane right off the campus. The “Shamrock Shake” should be some kind of mint chocolate chip concoction at The Bucket.

Maybe he will run the wrong way! The next time we see Mimi she will probably be her evil sister with red hair..

Stranger yet is that many years ago MILFord has an athlete named Ted Bear who rocked a teddy bear all around town and to games. Legend has it, he married one of the Thorp girls!Bitsy

How many public school kids wear a tie to the game? GQ Doyle that’s who. Will we have new dances for each immigrant player? Are Ozzie and Harriet Nelson at the game? When will Gil be inducted into the Ohio High School Hall of Fame? His all-sport win total is overwhelming.

No real teenager would be caught alive or dead doing the shake in public.

What is that thing in the middle of P2?

Thank goodness Hamani “Hambone” Gaines is there to make a play. Doyle is so excited, he experienced EHS, Exploding Head syndrome. P2- That wrisband means one thing, Reds skipper Dusty Baker is at the game

Why does P3 make me want to kick Doyle in the nuts?

thejudge—Excellent idea! After that, perhaps his tie could get caught in the wheels of a Homecoming float and the writers can end this absurd storyline…..

Too bad the new kid isn’t Jamiacan, we could have an awesome pre-game ritual at the bonfire!

The “Shamrock Shake.” Congrats to all the gilfans that saw this one coming.

P3 – Milford will be hearing from McDonald’s soon in regards to trademark infringement.

I think Doyle must be president of the Young Entrepreneurs Club at MILFord HS

It has been a long time since our esteemed colleague, OldTrainer, has commented on this strip. Either these storylines are so absurd or OT is preoccupied with other activities. I miss OT’s comments.

@tedybgame – that’s one of the alien pods, you weren’t supposed to see it …

I know we Thorpaholics are used to a history of lame, but man this is lame.

We’re the Irish Republican Army!

I think Ozzie & Harriet are at the game. Notice in P-1 Terry wearing the FDR patch on his uniform. Must be the year President Roosevelt died.

Mudlarks honoring Franklin Roosevelt on their jerseys P1

An opposing band will besmirch dear Terry with their halftime tribute to the Irish Potato Famine (I know, Stanford Band already did it.)
