Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 15, 2014

Tsk. I hear Schultz’s Polynesian Garden has the best egg rolls in town.

Some prankster at Wok N’ Roll must have cut off Art’s tie while he was paying for dinner. And P3 shows that “The Monk” hairstyle is still in vogue.

Gil’s trying his best, but that locker room must really stink!

Check out True’s massive hands in panel 1. They’re the same size as the dinner plate – no wonder he can throw the ball a mile.

Why is the root beer offering to talk to Coach Thorp?

Ah yes, the annual bonfire and the ritual sacrifice of a young virgin to ensure a winning season. Hmm, maybe Milford’s promiscuity has been the problem the past few seasons.

In all reality , is that Art in P 1 or a kindly old ventrilocist who has befriended Tru and is making his root beer talk .

Looks Like the Mighty "Larks will kickoff their opener this week. The question is, will Truman suit up?

Gil appears to be holding in a big dump in P3. And the kid just to his right seems to be enjoying the pain and discomfort his coach is in.

Gil has morphed into the “Amazing Colossal Coach” in panel three. Must have been some kind of nuclear device set off in Milford that missed the story line.

Uh Oh, I see a bonfire accident on the horizon… Tru to the rescue!

Looks like Tru(e) wasn’t pushed too hard at his old school based on the evidence in Mopped Up Thorp.

True should be drinking Hoo instead of root beer.

Pretty sure the blond kid in front ripped one off, he’s the only one smiling in there.
