Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 09, 2010

No you won’t Gil. You and your “team” will never get hot again. Ever! I could say a lot more, but the kiddies are reading this.

If Gil uses the word “hot” twice in the same strip that is a harbinger of a Mimi appearence or a girls locker room scene! Steve Luhm

P1: This MUST have been a scrimmage vs. The Mighty Oaks. No game jersey?

P2: Is that a scuba diving watch that chicken livered Marty is wearing? Dude still wears “floaties” swimming.

How come no lovefest with Gil and former assistant, now Oakwood coach Tod Andrews? Thorp’s success was when Tod was his right hand man.

Nope you can get those cheap leather straps at any dollar store.

Watch? Whats a watch? Nobody wears a watch anymore, thats what cell phones are for

Maybe Tuck would appreciate sports more if Gil would book the band for between inning entertainment, like after P3 Slim Chance and the Long Shots would start up “Feeling Hot Hot Hot” right on Gils cue

Gil: “…but enough about the game, Marty. How ‘bout this bitchin’ new snake around my neck!”

jyowen…That’s a good one!

rac0308, I used to have a watch band like that - back in the early 70’s.

I knew Ernie Harwell. Ernie Harwell was a friend of mine. You, Mr. Moon, are no Ernie Harwell.

In P3, Thorp should have said to Moon, “As the late Jerry Reed would have sung, ‘When you’re hot, you’re hot, and when you’re not, you’re not.”

Is that a lobster claw in P1 on his left hand? I first assumed it was the glove, but there is something wrong with the thumb.

Gil is talking about getting hot and streaking? Please say it ain’t (gonna be) so.

Marty seems to have aged about 10 years between P2 and P3. I also had a watchband like that back in the early 70’s. I hope Gil brings Mimi and the blonde reporter when gets hot and goes streaking.
