Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 15, 2016

True’s Mom – I think that’s a first sighting! Barry being consistent in his narcissism while pretending to cop a double feel on himself.

My preferred outcome for this scenario: “In the name of Robert of House Baratheon, first of his name, king of the Andals and the first men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, I, Eddard of House Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, do sentence you to die.”

Wow. He really has no idea what the power of “His dad killed Boo” ripping through the rumor mill will do, huh.

It’s crazy to think either one of them would be in any shape to go to school. For one thing, they would have had almost no sleep. And if Barry Bader had such little feeling for his father, why the anxiety for Dad to show up at every game?

“You don’t HAVE to to go to school today, True. It’s June 15, and school ended three weeks ago.”

Not necessarily, Chip. The last day here is Thursday. (Granted, this is Massachusetts, and snow days play a part.)

Not sure how this storyline will transend into the usual goofy summer antics in Milford! 2 a-days in six weeks should tie up all the loose ends. Unless…….

Oh man, imagine the embarrassment when True and Barry realize that they’re wearing the same outfit.

I see the problem. The black mold spores growing on the window have affected Barry’s brain.

Well Tru(e), it’s a good thing you two were a non-couple. In 2 months, you’ll be at Wake Forest and Boo would have been starting her senior year at Milford, so to be honest, wherever you are at Wake, she wouldn’t have been there anyway.

Young Master Bader, doing his Fonzie imitation in P3. EHHHHH!

Gee, wonder which two characters are going to rumble, only to have Gil (who accidentally came to school thinking it was closed so he could take out the shower-cams over the summer — and put them in the pool house) come in and show that Mr. Bader wasn’t the one who killed Boo.

P1- The dark ominous eye area has been drawn on characters before and is an indicator of Bad Mood O’ Rising. Art had to be a punter/placekicker. He outkicked his coverage. Pedro could use a part time job if Standish Manor has a pool.

Y’all lost me on your comments today.

In all reality , both True and Barry are going to man up and face the issue of Boo’s death head on and Dory will be there with jokes like Why did Boo try to cross the road and Hey Barry, I heard your old man was more loaded than a UPS truck at Christmas time . First day of Summer school today.

Don’t be so sure she won’t be there, Tru(e). Be on the lookout for a peacock.

P-1: Tru’s head is on fire. Mom’s never seen that as an excuse before and says he can stay home.P-2: Tru turns to existentialism to deal with his loss.P-3: Oh boy, we’ve never had a “Tar and Feathering” at Milford, before.

You know it’s going to be hard for R&W to just drop this one off quickly at the end like they usually do a storyline. I don’t remember one in my brief time here with as many diverging threads as this storyline has. I mean we may never know the outcome of the all important Dustin Pedroia argument. Enquiring minds want to know these things.

Tru(e) will do something st(u)pid and end up as yet another elite Milford athlete who will end up — in the words of former GT writer Jerry Jenkins describing 3 sport mega-star, Jarvis White — ’ruined".

P1 – Reminds me of one of those Japanese cartoons with the character who’s always mad and has flaming hair – is it from Dragonball-Z? Something like that. And Tru(e)‘s mom – guess she finally sold the house? Only took her 2 years to get an appearance in the strip.P2 – Holy crap, Tru(e) snapped. He is going to beat the living hell out of someone, probably Master Bader. Which isn’t a bad thing I guess.P3 – “Well, we visited dad yesterday, back to normal. Just because he’s under arrest for drunk driving, vehicular homicide, etc., doesn’t mean we need to change our routine or anything.”And speaking of routines, I’m sure you all have the daily routine of reading Mopped Up Thorp. No need to change now.

The next game will be interesting, when the relief pitcher charges second base. I just have a feeling Tru(e) will irreparably break his pitching hand and forearm, when he punches Barry’s front teeth into the back of his sinus cavity.
