Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 24, 2015

Bacon’s going to tell Moon his ‘Brand’ name courtesy of BStatWhiz. I’m pulling for ‘Shakin Bacon’.Is this the Antoine who was on YouTube saying ‘Hide your Kids’? – I guess Gil and Mimi took his advice.

Tiny #7 is kicking giant Marty in the shoulder. Also, nice beer bong disguised as head phones for the Moon Man.

Maxwell is going to declare early for the NBA Draft!! ;) …a SIZZLING announcement!

“Quiet numbskull, I’m broadcasting!”

Malik and Maxwell, aka “Shake N’ Bake.”

Big Ed should hire Signman to letter his signs. Pretty sloppy work.

In P1, I can’t tell if Marty is wearing a clerical shawl or if someone sitting in the stands behind him is draping their legs over his shoulders. Weird. And in P3, Bacon must be hungry – his stomach is talking.

WoodyTB: it’s in a conversation with the talking scorer’s table in P-1. Here’s the easy to predict strip on Monday: “Mr. Moon, it isn’t Bacon vs. Reed, it’s Milford against Jefferson.Hmm, is our favorite school named after former President”Milford" (Fill more…comic space)?

Didn’t #7 play for Tilden girls a couple of days ago?

Marty’s got to fill 20 minutes by himself? He must be a magician.

oh, this will not go well

“Excuse Me? Mr Moon?” sounds like a children’s book.

…Jefferson’s #7 looking a bit like a close-shorn Robert Hegyes…look it up, millennials

RIP Ernie Banks.

Well is Max Bacon going to be the spokesperson for Big ED’s BBQ?

I wonder what the air pressure is in that basketball in panel one? Looks over-inflated as opposed to………..

“Yes, Mr. Moon I just wanted to say that I’m changing my name to Makin’ Bacon to brand myself. Wait till you see my T-shirt!”

Marty? Is that the basketball talking to you in P-3? Are you going to announce the game while “tripping”?
