Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 08, 2012

I don’t care if he does commit stupid penalties, he’s still adorable.

That drawing of the referee looks like it belongs on the wall of an Egyptian tomb.

Gil (when he’s there) teaches his players to hit “through the echo of the whistle” like Bobby Bowden taught at FSU. Terry heard the echo as it bounced off Marty’s bottle of Jamesons, so he’s a tad late on the hit. Does he get up and pose? A local kid got flagged, stepped off the penalty with the official while jawing with him, got flagged again, and didn’t play another down.

It’s good to see that winter hasn’t hit Milford yet.

It is only late September in Milford

Always tackle with your head up. Possible head injury for the number 22.

The Madison receiver seems ti have EES due to the Shocker applied by the Milford Knight.Since Gil has gone AWOL, Seniors Miles Paris and BB Stuff Ottewill have to straighten out Sir-Kiss-A-Lot.

NBC still loves Irish football, no matter what.

Hey, I think that referee was the guy from Animal House who was playing the guitar that John Belushi smashed.

Moon reffing tonight?

The Gil Watch Continues: Today marks 20 days since Gil last appeared in his own strip. Where have you gone Gil Dimaggio? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Woo, woo, woo.

This has not been one of the more interesting story lines….in my humble opinion…..just saying….

Gil can’t stand the story line either and won’t be back until basketball season which should be in about five months.

Who knows what kind of probes Gil is undergoing at the hands of the aliens? When he returns he’ll swear he was only gone 2 or 3 minutes.

Considering the receiver is facing the QB during the overthrow, and Terry hits him in front, it is likely that Terry was beat pretty badly when the route was run. Will someone in the crowd finally realize that this guy could use some coaching? Gil needs to get out of the teachers lounge.

And the crowd chants: “Where is GIL?! Where is GIL?! Where is GIL?!”

I think the ref looks like Todd Helton. Gil is probably in Africa recruiting a 7’5" Dinka Tribesman to play basketball for Milford. These international sports greats don’t move to Milford by accident.
