Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for August 29, 2014

Panel 2 reminds me of the big stink Mattel got into over the talking Barbie that said, “Math is hard.”

True couldn’t forget Gil. Gil’s Windsong stayed on his mind.

Well, I certainly believe her, when she says she didn’t want a science class.

She didn’t want a science class because Marty Moon says chemistry doesn’t score touchdowns. In P3 Gil’s peeking around the corner of the boy’s shower room, the surprise of seeing the Truman Show causing Exploding Cheek Syndrome.

“False!!! Psych!! I’m just visiting to rub it in more…”

There goes the Mudlarks chemistry!Keri & Jaymie

With that hand she should be studying anatomy.

Gil traded Jarrod Hale and the next great athlete to transfer to the Milford area.

I just want to know how enrollment and district boundaries and other legal niceties work in The Valley.

So why did he choose Milford after all? MUT knows.Nice of True to enroll at Milford and not tell anyone, thus avoiding practice all this time. He’s got the Milford work ethic already!

I’m trying to figure out if that’s an ear ring or some really bizarre kind of birthmark on that non-science person in P2.

Gil scoping the halls is rather creepy.

True got a back-to-school haircut. If he can’t figure out how to open his locker, I’m guessing he doesn’t want a science class either.

In all reality , Trues drive to Hawaii comment was a clue that True is too dumb to play QB and having trouble with his combination. Gil will have to dummy down his offense to dive right or left, sweep right or left and pass for True. Unless True forgot he enrolled at Valley Tech and should be there.

Prediction: Tru(e) has enrolled at Milford without telling D-bag dad Art. The central conflict over the next few months will be Tru(e) vs. Art, with a secondary conflict pitting Tru(e) vs. J-rod Hale for the starting QB job. Somehow, Gil will work past 10:00 AM and help resolve both. Meanwhile, John Pascoe refuses to comment on either situation.

P1, Gil sporting a rather John Kerry-like lantern jaw as he creeps the hallways looking for new towel managers….

Gil gets accused of athlete poaching. The team goes undefeated but is disqualified for the playdowns.

I know this much is Trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Crikey! Boomerang Mate!

In p3 Gill is at the door to the showers, astonished to find Tru soaping up.

Tru having trouble with his locker combination is clue as to why he chose Milford. They only have 5 plays in the Mudlarks playbook. He should be able to have them memorized by playdown time.

Why does everyone keep saying that’s Tru(e) at the locker? It ain’t him but you know how they all look alike at Milford(e).

Christmas comes early to Milford. “I don’t want a science class” is intro to the upcoming story arc about Milford’s evolution-denying parents…

High school teams played their first game here last Friday.

True tried out for VT but couldn’t remember the snap count. Luckily, the Milford Special School had an opening. No math, no science, no geography, just P.E.
