Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 22, 2014

Scrawny at 5-11, 160? Sounds perfectly normal. I was 6-6, 170. Now THAT’S scrawny.

Yeah, in high school that’s average size. Must be a lot of new houses in Milford with all of these star athletes showing up all of a sudden. Guess they’ll be building a new school soon to ruin Gil’s roll.

In all reality , how come Bobby isn t at practice to correct Gil with facts gleamed from his I pad about the average size of high school point guards ? What basis does Kaz have for making his starement and where is Bitsy Twill ?

In all reality, there is a typo in P 3 Bacons weight is 106 lbs not 160 .

Looks like Max is a 3D player, drive, draw and dish. Dookie V loves this kid.

The season hasn’t started and he’s already got all the cliches down.

No fat on this bacon. What happened to the girls teams? With this Bacin story following the pigskin season this strip has become a real sausage fest

My kid is 5’11" and 160, but he plays tennis. Why isn’t there any tennis in this strip?

Is that a press box in the background in P2? Not bad for a HS gym.

Also, it appears that someone burned the Bacon in P3.

Wait…what’s going on? What happened to J-Rod and True? Did I miss the playdowns? Who the hell is “Maxwell Bacon”? Have we given him a nickname yet? Have the Thorp kids returned? Has Mimi left Gil for the pool boy?

Welcome back Bitsy! Forget the “strip”. Where have you been. You got some ‘splainin’ to do!

Milford won the playdowns and I MISSED IT?? Did my absence reverse the peacock curse or something?

BITSY IS ALIVE!

It looks like Max hit a spot of grease and is falling on his butt in P1 – Mop, we need you in the gym!

Wow – if Bitsy made it back alive, maybe Keri and I can too!

Once again Gil’s ineptitude comes shining through. The kid is a natural, talented point guard and Gil has no idea who he is. At any other school the coach/athletic director would have known about this kid since Middle School at least. Unless he just transferred in to Milford, which of course is very “rare”.So Gil has never seen this kid play before, but he knows his exact height and weight. Hmm, that’s suspicious. Wonder what cuttersjock’s theory would be?Maxwell is hamming it up today, both here and in Mopped Up Thorp.

you can say that again

Bitsy! What are the aliens like? Were you probed?

Who is this ‘Bitsy’ person? I hope not another ‘Whiz’!

Bitsy is home??? Finally – all is well in Milford (and in the gocomics universe)!
