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

Marty’s magic pencil is busy erasing the lineup in P2.

great that Lucky gets hit in the tricep and even greater drawing of his miffed face!No wonder nobody can hit this pitcher, he’s obviously superman trying to hide his identity with a mullet. I didn’t know Clark Kent was a lefty though…

WHUD! At least that’s a new one and it’s nice to see that Lucky is still lucky.. I see Marty has the jagged scar today. Not a surprise, he probably fell down the steps between innings running to his car to fill up his sippy cup.

Wade is so good that they make him pitch from the back of the mound so he has to throw uphill.

“Highly touted and heavily scouted”….. Beats “drunk on my ass and asleep on the grass!”

Why does Mason have a banana peel hanging out of his pocket? Is he doctoring the ball?

Shouldn’t “Whud” be followed by a question mark? Every time I read this strip I ask myself “Whud?”

The New Thayer pitcher has some unique mechanics. The last time I saw a nasty slider was at White Castle.

Well to be fair, Marty is not speaking in P3, that’s the narrator talking to us. It would be in a word balloon or quotes if it was Marty.There is something off about the pitcher’s delivery. Looks more like he’s about to break off an arm than a slider.

The ‘Larks are probably going to have to take the lead for Gil to bring in Tru as his closer, so I’m looking for at least a two-run rally here.

MOP, good eye; but, from the looks of the back leg Mason just broke off a nasty fibula.

I wonder if the guys still think Lucky is a “playa.”

Marty’s cocktail order is a bit hard to read in P2

Judging from the ‘locks of hair’ in panel three I think it is the great great (etc) grandson of Samson from the Old Testament. Cut his hair and he won’t be able to pitch.

He also looks like Gaston from Beauty and the Beast.

He’s actually got a bag of possum fat in his back pocket. That’s what Woody and I thought was a banana. Mr. “Do Rocher” is in the stands scouting him.

Sounds like Padres radio announcer Ted Leitner. Going somewhere in the car and try to listen for the score and he’ll talk about himself for 5 minutes and then say the score after 5 is 1-0.

Nope, referring to the back leg, which is horribly twisted. Although the front leg looks in trouble too.

With the absence of Mr. Reality, I’ll take a little shot here. WHUD is a top forty FM radio station in Westchester, NY. In, yes, The Hudson Valley. Home of the Valley Conference?
