Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 12, 2010

Does Derek look like Michael Jackson in P1 or what?

Steve Luhm isn’t equipment manager yet, get a life Gil.

That’s a big cookie Gill is chowing on in P.3 Clyde Bean

Looks like Gil put on a lot of bulk lately.

This kid’s hair is so annoying … what’s the chance that if he has a horrible game, the team ties him up and shaves his head … please artists nobody wears their hair like that … stop it already.

A reporter who never heard of Lefty Frizzell. Apparently she’s never walked the hills in a long black veil.

Gil is looking like some 40’s comic book villian in P3. Maybe something out of “Dick Tracy”.

Johnny Cash not cited as an influence. The Man in Black will be pi$$ed.

Lefty Frizzell wrote the great song “Saginaw, Michigan”; does that mean that is where Milford is since that is an allusion by the writers?

At least he has got his hair out of his face.

Musicians wore their hair like that alot back in “hair band” days.

To bad his favorite band isn’t a Flock of Seagulls. Would love that hair.

Author/Caretaker Neil Rubin is a columnist in Detroit. For some reason I beleive the strip evolved out of CT. Jaymie Thorp

Yes, it is supposed to be Milford, CT. Of course I don’t recognize a single school in Thorp’s conference. It is in an alternate universe that resembles the MIdwest.

This Milford only carries plain vanilla sports, no lacrosse, soccer, or gymnastics.

Some years ago, I was on an outrigger canoe team out of Milford, CT. It will be a cold day in hell before the strip shows that kind of athletic competition.

This reporter goes to the same optometrist as the blonde girl from yesterday.
