Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 12, 2014

First sighting of a girl with the monk look.

Whoa, rubbing Lucky’s hair caused Nisha Vulaj to get injured?

Isn’t there an Edgar Allan Poe story along these lines? Every wish for good luck is fulfilled at the expense of someone else?

In all reality, when Amy tells the other girls what happened after rubbing Luckys head, he s going to be getting a lot of head rubs.

She rounded first on her belly? That doesn’t seem like very good coaching from Mimi.

That gravel infield is only going to cause more problems.

Head rub big gris gris.

In all reality, in P 1 what does Amy plugged into Luckys ear ??

One date and Amy made it to second base. Lucky is easy, too.

Somebody needs to tell Nisha that a headfirst slide is a bad idea if you’re 50 feet from the bag. Maybe she was inspired by Lucky’s “Pete Rose” hairdo in P1.

Lucky for you, here is today’s edition of Mopped Up Thorp.Don’t forget to check back tomorrow morning for a special Sunday expanded edition. My legion of Tumblr followers (6!) will get notification, the rest of you will have to remember to check here. I will post a note here under today’s comments when it is online.

P2- Nice to see Nisha is keeping with the Milford moustache tradition. Thanks for the laugh today Mopman. The Willie Hayes Mays reference was gold.

Here we go, a Sunday edition of Mopped Up Thorp. Part 1 of 3. At least that’s the current plan, depending how the story goes. Just like the Gil Thorp writers, I don’t know exactly where this is going yet.
