Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 01, 2015

Nothing’s as good without bacon

I thought this was basketball. Why is the ref signaling a touchdown?

Now’s the time for Max’s twin brother, Minimum Bacon, to make a surprise appearance off the bench.

Mike Granger will turn the ball over at a steady three times per quarter.

But what can you expect from a player who dribbles the ball with his fingers glued together?

Losing to Goshen: the ultimate in humiliating moments..FREE JARVIS!

Panel 3, the referee gives the signal for a successful FIVE pointer!!!

@The Brown Starfish: that is the correct signal for a made three point attempt. The ref holds up three fingers and extends his right arm when the shot goes up and raises both arms if it goes in.

“Playdowns”?? Is this Canada??

Bes-a-bol, anyone?

Can’t believe they can just end the BaconBobby storyline without Gil having to talk Bobby off a ledge after he goes off his meds …. Wait a minute, I can believe it.

Grainger, err, Granger. Get it, got it, good. Even the referees wear wristbands in The Valley.

It’s probably just me, but P1 had me thinking of a bizarre dream sequence with Marty Moon doing a voice over for that famous race scene on the beach from “Chariots of Fire.”

I think it’s time to fire the Gilfather, and let Bobby coach the team.

puh- puh- puhlaydowns??

If you are beyond the one line on the court you are awarded three points for the field goal instead of two. At the end of the game the team that has accumulated the most points is declared the winner.

In all reality , its April Fools Day and the writers played a joke on us readers , Milford won in all reality . True replaceed Max on the team .

Mopman reported with pitchers & catchers last at Spring training in Central City.

Hey, you guys, you missed the worst part. Marty said “Goshen and Madison”. That means another game to endure after this one! Curse you, Neal & Rubin. Cue the theme from Titantic. You know about “goes on forever”.

Welcome to the three newbies blown away by the term “playdowns”. Yes, in Gil Thorp, “playoffs” are called “playdowns”. Also, “Subway” is called “Subwich”, dead kid brothers are reincarnated as peacocks, and girls dress in pizza box bikinis. You just have to go with it.

Now’s the time for Max’s twin brother, Minimum Bacon, to make a surprise appearance off the bench.

Only 4-foot 2, but has some wicked moves.

Mopman ,in his effort to move this ridiculous plot to it’s merciful conclusion, is now the head greenskeeper at Milford CC.

How does a team qualify for the “Playdowns” in the Thorpverse? Do we know for sure, or is that something Rubin makes up near the end of a storyline to put some interest in?

They had to be knocked out of the playdowns by the Goshen Clowns,,,,, sheesh

Yes, our best to Mrs. Mop!

Missed it yesterday, MOP, do you call her GLO? What a great pair!
