Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 06, 2016

No big deal. You can complain about your average after a win. Just don’t do it after a loss.

I’d say you could take it up with the scorekeeper, but in high school, that might be one of the coaches. We all know that none of those show up for Milford’s games. Young Master Bader should talk to his rabbi about this.

This is one winey bunch. What’s gonna happen when they lose?

P3 is more proof that Neal and Rod read the comments. Darth Bader has come up a few times since Young Master Bader first appeared.

And … three strips out of four with the inviolable P3. I look forward to what Mopman will do with thisidiocy!

In all reality , today we have a variety of haircuts on display P 1 the Monk cut , the Fade , a Mop Top and P 3 Darth displays the Milford version of the Carrot Top .

This plot is on water skis jumping over a shark tank… Fast forward to 2- a days!Fonz

They must have created that last name just so they could use the Darth Vader reference.

The Oak Ridge team nickname has be Indians, since that little pepperpot Bader got scalped in P1.

Anyone else concerned about this new two handed grip that Barry has been practicing in the locker room?

P3- EBS? Exploding Body Syndrom

This story is getting lame real fast.

Why wasn’t the Darth Bader reference on May 4th?

I thought Barry’s Star Wars name would be Hand Solo

What’s with the guy to the far left of P1? He looks like he’s crawling out of the showers. It’s not like he would be sitting on a bench or stool right at the shower entrance.

Obviously all the barbers moved to Goshen or somewhere. Gil decided to go with a College of Coaches ( Cubs, early 60s) approach this year, except none of the coaches showed up. Gil and Kaz are drag racing through Central City, just to show they can.

Dumb question: which kid is that supposed to be in P3?

There has to be connection between Judge “Hang ’Em” Hiatt and one of Darth Bader’s teammates for this storyline to go anywhere (I know, that usually never happens, but …).

I’m now guessing that Barry’s dad will get physical with one of the players (NOT IN THAT WAY) and Knox Foley will take a break from law school to help sort things out.

Wow, Master Bader really transformed into some pug-nosed yaramulke-wearing weirdo in P1. Why is he arguing with his locker anyway? And speaking of arguing, there is no arguing with the fact that Mopped Up Thorp is a must read.

Ha ha ha, after reading your shower comment I had to go back and add one piece of dialog for shower crawling guy.@Bitsy – The guy in P3 is the same guy in P1 and P2, or are you asking his name? I don’t think we ever got his name.

Wow, check out the colorized version: http://comics.azcentral.com/slideshow?comic=Gil_Thorp&feature_id=Gil_Thorp. Partial blue hair dyes are all the rage at Milford this year. Bader’s is especially stupid looking. But why blue and not red? Red is Milford’s color.They still don’t have the comments fixed on that site. I miss reading them there to see how similar they are to ours.

@rglover1954: Bravo!!!

@BitsyTwill: Berry or not Berry – shouldn’t it be current or jam?

He should be glad to be called Darth. Imagine his anger if he was classified as the Wookie. Now, there’s a nick name to live down.

I can’t believe I just now thought of this. We had this sophomore when I was a senior that they ‘caught’ in the library. His last name was Whitt. From then on he was known as “Whacker” Whitt!
