Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 19, 2015

Whoa. Slender Man is standing in the doorway of the Girls’ locker room.

Why do they call this strip Gil Thorp? Was that a character who used to show up once in a while a long time ago?

Talk about what? How that player can’t go to her left?

We have evolved. We have no Gils.

Eh, it’s a time-honored comics tradition. Steve Roper showed up about twice a year the last twenty years of his strip. Judge Parker showed up less often than that for the better part of fifty years. Barney Google was written out of his own strip over SIXTY years ago.

Could Gil be on a “journey” ala Bruce Jenner’ only to reappear as the new Womans AD?Kin, Kris, Khloe, Lammar

That dude in panel 2 has a giant wrist and tiny fingers. I wonder if doctors could use excess flesh from his wrists to build him a chin.

In all reality , does Leisl and Bobby’s talk end with her whispering in his ear Shut up and Kiss me you fool ?

O.K., Leisl thinks Bob Howry is a hoops savant. If he whispers to basketballs, can he talk to peacocks and resurrect Scott Fowler’s little brother Jay Bird?

Gil Held Hostage: Day 22. It’s not just that we haven’t seen him. It’s that he should have been there coaching the games since Jan. 28. I understand why he’s not at The Bucket or in biology class but there have been games during the last 22 days where you’d expect to see him.

2 points (close range): 1) I’ve figured out where we’re going. Title IX requires the girl’s team to win a trophy for Mimi. 2) Body language 101. Nice pose in the booth, Leisl!! Talk about obvious.

All the frog posters are part of an alien plot to rob us of our precious body fluids.

Hey, has anyone predicted that Bobby will give Max a placebo yet?

Gort!

Awesome comments all around today, most eliciting at least a smile if not a guffaw. Give everybody an “A”.
