Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 17, 2016

So Ken Brown’s been playing out of his home district all these years? How many wins in how many sports will Milford have to forfeit?

So mom is the winner. Neal and Rod should know better. If I were new to this group I might well expect to see a rash of Yo Mama jokes popping up here.

Since when does anyone in this strip think of the 21st century as anything but the distant future envisioned in The Jetson’s?

Things aren’t looking good for Young Master Bader. It’s about time Gil got up off of his recliner by the showers to break this up before BKB breaks his hand on Master Bader’s face and can no longer make it all happen for the baseball team, just like basketball.

The Fist Pump boys in the background, pretending to ignore the impending action.

Ken Browns going to smack those freckles off Barry’s face, as long as he catches him in one of the panels where he has them.

In all reality , Kenny will not lay a hand on Barry and will find some pity for his plight and plea to his Mom that her penance for Dad Del be light. Kenny and Barry will become best buddies and Summer will start soon.

Master Bader- and sometimes a father leaves the mother without marrying her when he finds out she’s pregnant?BKB – I AM going to break your face!

GilPa spares no expense providing the team with prison pants to practice in from the original “The Longest Yard” movie.

Hmmm. Breaking a face. Assault. A good hanging judge might give a first time offender twenty years for that. Let’s see if Judge Judy has the strength of her convictions.

I blame the lawyer for not researched that the judge had a son playing with the Master. He could have used that. You know…State Champion Gil Thorp is coaching your son…conflict of interest…please recuse yourself…

I also expect that Bader would have not fought Ken. It might hurt his average if he can’t see.

That’s an interesting fist Ken is clenching. Looks a little suspect.

@Mr Reality: I just threw up in my mouth@sweetg1: You just gave R&W’s plot twist away

Barry looks more and more like Rudy Kazootie Every day. Maybe Dotie Lottie will make an appearance. I think Flub a Dub would trump a peacock any day.

Time for a Coaches Held Hostage update: Mimi, 42 Days; Kaz, 22 Days; Gil, 18 Days.

So this makes my late last night reply to Ellis more appropriate than i realized at the time I posted it.

If Ken goes home and talks to Mom, she would have to recuse herself from the case. If Ken whoops up on Master Bader and Mom finds out why, she would have to recuse herself. This kid is the most unsympathetic of unsympathetic characters introduced to the strip. Go ahead and pound him into the ground, Ken.

Judge living in jurisdiction? In my state there are judges that live counties away from where they sit on a bench. All are Appointed by the State Attorney General or by the Governor, not elected. Several, for small municipalities, might sit in one town Monday and a different one Tuesday, another Wednesday, etc. As the the matter of ‘break your face’ as an adult over 18, just this threat alone is enough to have a jail sentence of 6 months in county lock up, if taken to trial, which most cases are not…actually doing so would result in a simple assault charge, punishable by not more than 3 years incarceration. Under age High school kids, playground/locker room fights, the threat might get a 2 day school suspension if overheard by an adult.

Here’s what Ken should be saying: “Listen here, I’d smash your face, only you’re so skinny you might dry up and blow away!”

Not only am I considering breaking your face, Dustin Pedroia is not gonna’ have a big year

Sometimes you kick in their nutsSometimes you don’tKen Brown will stop Barry’s hobbyIf Bader don’t.
