Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 23, 2016

Here we go……

Bader: What’s that got to do with my two hits and two ribbies?

Stuff’s getting real. Time for Ambassador Standish to step in

What exactly was Ken Brown’s mother “right” about? Trying to prove that at a time like this is almost as bad as what Bader was doing.

Them’s hard sayin’s

Can True stop the can of “whoop a$$” from getting opened?

Seriously, Bader? You got 3 hits less than Pedroia. What makes you so hot?

Seriously, BKB, you seem much more upset about Boo’s demise than Tru(e) ever has. Maybe you had a thing goin’ on?

This really sucks. Now we have to wait until Monday to see Big Ken Brown make it all happen. Last time Kaz came to the rescue, but since he and Gil both showed up to coach, I suspect they’re long gone. Things are looking grim for Young Master Bader.

In all reality , I agree with The Brown Starfish perhaps BĶB and Boo were daytime friends and nightime lovers . What’s that - Attention All Students —-School Ended A Month Ago ! VACATE THE SCHOOL NOW ! HAVE A NICE SUMMER . Barray to his teamates See you at the lake and Kenny ,your secret about you and Boo cheating on True is safe with me.

Call me stupid, but what is a Robbie?

Dang auto correct what is a ribbie?

@supplier: To quote my alter ego, “Obviously you are not a golfer.” A ribbie (or ribby) is baseball lingo for a Run Batted In.

My mom was 100% right, too. Unfortunately, what she was right about was saying I was a smart a$$ and I’d never amount to anything.

Ken Brown is all about initiating loud noises, He ain’t gonna do nuthin’. If KB was a man of action, the BBB (Barry Bader Bobblehead) would gyro rate more vigorously in P3..

P-1: That Freshman almost escaped my lockerP-2: You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht. Your hands fumbling with your brain stem, you seem to do that a lot.P-3: BKB is jealous of Barry’s bloop ability. C’mon Kenny, that was weeks ago, move on; just like we wish this story would

Yeah, yeah, here it comes. Tru(e) breaks the tension and stops the possible impending beatdown with some words of wisdom on Monday that he learned from Gil, much to our disappointment. No beating, no Tru(e) breaking his hand, makes me doubly sad. And speaking of doubles…double your pleasure, double your fun, double your Mopped Up Thorp enjoyment, today it’s two for one! (Friday’s and today’s.)

Okay, Rubham, some continuity please? Yesterday Big Ken Brown BANGed the locker, today he BAMed the locker. WHICH IS IT?

Didn’t we learn in Sunday school about not holding children responsible for the sins of their parents? Looks like Ken needs some churching up.

@ Ellisburkes: Banana, Fana, Fo

In panel three it appears Ken Brown is the ‘angry young man’ from Elvis’ song “IN THE GHETTO”.

dadjo thanks for the. Heads up. I always called them "RBI"s. Guess I’m just old school.

Now Boo’s folks were supposed to be at hospital, yet it is quite possible they were killed on the way by Del’s drunken client; and since Boo’s a bit boyish looking she might be doing a coma gig in a body cast while the mystery pickup person was blasted to quarks. Stuff like that happens all the time.

Hmmm, maybe it was him in the pickup truck.

Okay, somebody has to say it, Young Master Bader leads the league in rubbies. How did we all miss that?

Is that a guest appearance by Lee Marvin in the doorway in P-3?
