Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 26, 2013

Is it just me or did the floor and walls seem to disappear for a second there? Freaky!

Will Gil use this as a teaching moment, or take advantage of the team’s gullibility to get them to shoot better through the peacock’s intervention?

“Hold off on that, we’ll substitute the peacock with my friend Larry Bird to give you guys some tips on shooting and trash-talking.”

We’re going on a field trip to visit the crazy old man with the peacocks! I hope word gets back to Marty Moon.

By the looks of Gil’s expression in P3, something good usually occurs.

He doesn’t need to tell the boys, they have already decided he is crazy.

Time to bring in Doyle to turn this thing around. Gil used him to so much success before.

“Hold off on that. I haven’t been at a practice all year and I’m not sure I want to start now.”

Master plan is about to unfold. Oh boy… this is going to be great!

The gym void in panel 2 would explain why they’ve been on the road all season.

Here it comes…Gil talked to the farmer and he’s bringing in the peacock to share with the whole team!

P1….Gil looking a little like a young Kurt Russell, seemed to have got some botox since we last saw him!

Gil’s big idea….was Mudlark, now Peacock. Seems he owes Buddy Anselmo for some “favors” Buddy did, namely the mysterious disappearance of Wildcat!
