    Tru’s monstrous hand looks absolutely normal compared to Rodney’s giant paw.

    Tru gets a taste of what college will be like when he has to compete against State Champion QB’s from all over the country. The lesson here: It’s good to be the big fish in the little pond. Fore!

    Rodney better tap some keys and watch some TruVision. Maybe Tru will realize he is not getting the exposure he needs in Milford and will head off to a bigger pond.

    True’s dead fish handshake does not impress.

    “Toss your bag in the back and we’re out of here.” Kind of a great way to sum up making a snarky remark everyday on the State Champion Gil Thorp message board.

    Rodney looks a lot like Austin Shumpert. Rodney: “What’s going on in Milford?” True: "My deal is too sweet. Get this. The coach rarely shows up for practice or school and I call the plays. It’s a stat stuffer dream. The big news is the old people are finally going to let us have a dance. It’s like having the keys to the candy store. I have a girlfriend with a Wren McCormick hairdo who’s happy I gave her a Mr. T stuffed teddy bear from 1983. We need a player of your skills to transfer in this year. You game?’

    So who is Rodney Curtis? The #1 rated high school QB in the country I guess? And now Tru(e) is playing the “you’re too famous to know little old me” card that he was insulted when Boo played it on him? Speaking of insults, I’ll be insulted if you don’t think today’s Mopped Up Thorp is the funniest Gil Thorp parody that you’ve read all day.

    …for those who want to see Milford CC this year, try the new Steve Boone strip on Go Comics…

    P2- Tru has a little Haley Joe Osment in him today

    Only two people on the bus? Not suspicious at all.

    Pretty exclusive camp with only two good enough to attend.

    See Boo, your big risk was provoking two tire slashing thugs. Try to top this. I’m riding in an unmarked van with an unknown black guy. Say, what are those Arabic looking writings on your sword case?

    Is it just me, or does Rodney bear a striking resemblance to one O.J. Simpson. Fun times ahead. Hey Tru, why not do us all a favor and introduce him to Boo?

    I just noticed – Rodney (Rodney Peete?) has one massive melon.

    Hm. Is Tru(e) going to get the wake-up call this summer? It sure looks like it – he goes to passing camp and finds out football is a serious business, that other QBs don’t want to be friends ‘cause it’s a cutthroat business and if he gets a scholarship, someone else doesn’t?

    They should change the name of the strip from Gil Thorp to Truman Standish. I wonder how many panels each has been in over the past year? Even allowing for Tru not being in the basketball story, it might be a close race.
