Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 05, 2010

Ghost, I knew Nails Randolph. You’re no Nails Randolph.

When will Marty learn?

That is about the stupidest comment Marty’s made. What is Gil wearing around his neck, is that a ribbon? Is he wearing some kind of medal?

Looks like another year out of the playdowns. When will they make the long overdue coaching change?

As memory serves, Gil has been missing from the strip the past 2-3 weeks. The ribbon is holding the medal that Gil led the men’s curling team to ninth place last week in Vancouver.

The glee in Moon’s voice in panel 1 as he overseers the end of another failed season for the ‘larks is palpable.

jterran is right. Moon and Gil should both be fired immediately! Of course, good teams have height and a good backcourt. Great teams have a janitor as an assistant coach

Mercifully, it’s time for baseball season to start.

I see the aurora borealis is visible even through the snowstorm.

I can’t imagine what kind of radio station keeps that announcer around. He must be at least part owner of the radio station.

It’s been “spring” for two weeks. That is when I heard my first Cub fan say, “this is OUR year.” This is a much more relieble harbringer than Robins.

how is marty moon interviewing gil but they dont say who won ???

In P#1 it looks like Marty has grown a “soul patch” down the left side of his nose to detract from that large scratch he has running down his face. Who did that, Mimi during the heat of the moment while Gil was off at the Olympics winning his ninth place curling medal?
