Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 19, 2016

Like a bolt out of the blue, fate steps in and pulls you through.

P.3: Subsitute electronics for Fisher Price Play Skool Computer and under the desk for home!

Yet we will get no such early relief from this plot line.

P2- Awesome alternate look for Kaz. Hairdo reminds me of some of these lacky underachievers holding out their hand for entitlement pie.

Marty better not stop for milk at the convenience store on the way home. That can be dangerous even when it’s not hurricane-type weather.

The ref in P1 better be careful. With that Giant Fickle Finger of Fate he might get struck by lightning.

P2, There’s nothing sadder than a wet mullet.

Marty gets to hit Happy Hour early. The game might be a tie but to Marty, it’s a win win.

I’m sure by “home” Marty’s referring to the O’Bucket him and Andy Capp spend 20 hours at every St. Patrick’s Day.

Has this ever happened in the strip before?

This game must not have playdown implications, otherwise they would finish it the next day.

Let’s see who drunk Marty might kill in a tragic accident on a rain slicked road. Then he’ll end up in jail with Mr. Bader and they can put their heads together to coordinate the great escape. Then they’ll go celebrate at the bar and do it all over again.

P-1: Game called due to Step and Fetch It character from the 30’s.P-2: Gil’s cell phone check shows the team has finished in the showersP-3: Wow, how could Marty tell Gil was wearing a “rare tie” with all that rain obstructing his view?

alternate P-3: Run Marty!! They’re making yet another remake of the Blob!

Gil delays and then calls off the game on his own, rather than the refs, and without agreement from the other coach?

That’s the ref with the hat on, not Gil. Gil has the big M on his jacket. And speaking of jackets, take off your jackets and sit a spell while you read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Marty Moon must be happy, he can get to his jack daniels IV that much sooner.

After careful study, if I didn’t know better, I’d swear R&W are paying tribute to H.P. Lovecraft in P-3. Is that Yog Sothith lurking in the window?

Hope thats water on Marti’s window or mirror!M. Bader

@Bearwku & MOP: timbo might not know about the Milford time warp. If we aren’t careful Robespierre will appear as a new Line Backer.
