Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 20, 2014

Here.. We.. Go! The comments on this Bacon strip should be interesting. This kid should use the dribble penetration and a side dish for 3. Gil could wind up with egg on his face if they don’t score on the break fast, I mean fast break. If he’s on the juice this season could be toast.

hmmm . . . not a lot of pork on the plate but the herd should still sizzle. While we wait to see if Maxwell is the silver hammer in what should be a near Shakespearean epic of a story arc, it is equally possible that this could become a horrific reworking of earlier portraits . . .

Still, they say that everything is better with bacon. We’ll see if that’s true or if the eggs and ham are green. ;-)

…reconnects? Gil is more detached from his duties as ever, he just can’t screw off at Milford CC when there is snow on the ground unless he plays the slots.P1- looks like grade school kids were brought up to fill out practice, P3- Max Bacon (really, Neil and Rod?) looking a little like Kevin Coble.Can we bring back the tat slap?

Hope Bacon is not a ball hog and sizzles as a shooter.

In all reality, Wheres the Beef ?

In all reality, if Warren Burger, the Koch brothers and Phil Fries join the team Milford could start Bacon, Cheese, Burger, Fries and a Koch. What a tasty line up, a real treat for Milford fans.

Completing this gastro inspired story arc, will be the reintrodrction of Gil & Mimi’s long lost and recently married daughter Keri Out!

Mmm…Bacon.

In all reality, Gil won t have any hot dogs on his team this year unless ( fill in the blank ) makes the team .

How old are the two players in P1, 12? I thought Maxwell Bacon was the Geico spokespig. This should be a sizzling plot line, though I hear Bacon was kicked out of the Drama Club for being a ham, there was just no curing him. I hope he’s not a ballhog. Any truth to the rumor Bacon is Canadian?

Bobby reminds me of the scene from “Little Giants” where the tech savvy kid produces “The Annexation of Puerto Rico” play. If these kids can play, they can be The Slaughterhouse Five. I can hear Gil Pa, “Let’s smoke this team”, “Shake and bake your defender” or Walter White’s favorite, “Let’s cook.” The day is early and snarkyness is alive and well. I can hear Moonpie now, “Milford fast break, crisp pass from Bacon to Wiley, he scores!”

Bacon looks like a decent player, considering that Tyrannosaurus claw he has for a right hand.

Would it be “rasher” to shoot than pass? Maxwell missed by this much. Salute to Mr. Reality’s line up

You think bacon is good now? Wait until he learns to open his eyes when he shoots.

Tru(e) grits??

Maxwell the annoying pip on the insurance commercials should be turned into Bacon!

Study the spreadsheet, Gil.

Gil would definitely not be a sabermetrics guy in baseball.

Bacon is named after his uncle, Maxwell Smart. When his shot is off, he routinely says, “Missed it by that much.”

So the new kid is talented, but a bit of a slow learner. Hopefully during the season Maxwell will get smart. Also, rumor has it he’s related to Kevin Bacon, so the “6 Degrees of Bacon” game just got a lot easier in Milford. A full basketball season of ridiculing nerdy Bobby and puns about Maxwell “Smart Six Degrees” Bacon. Mopped Up Thorp should be a piece of cake. Oops, not cake, piece of pork?

As Maxwell starts dominating games, Sign Man will join in with Go Baconator signs. Wendy (Wiley) will dance with Joy. Now that’s better.

Neal and Rob will get quite a ribbing this season. I’ll steak my life on it. And Maxwell will soon be ineligible ‘cause p’ok make you dumb.

This reference to Maxwell (Smart) by Neal and Rod make me feel my late comment last night about them was right.

Any girl who goes out with Bacon will immediately be nicknamed “Over Easy.”

Max Bacon sounds like something you order at Denny’s after the bars close.

P1: Was wondering if Jaxon would ever make it back into the comic
