Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 28, 2016

Here comes the acting bit I mentioned, maybe?

Kaz is referring to Gil’s intelligence.

Is this where the Pelwecki QB plot finally gets used or was that a complete red herring?

In all reality , Kaz let me run this up the flag pole and see if Heather salutes it. Give her a pass for AP Biology , they’re doing something with frog crotches. Heather can give us some blow back when we see her then .

So, what could this big plan be? Guard around with Moose passing to Heather for the winning TD. Yeah, that must be it. I just hope Moose throws left handed since it looks like the tips of all the fingers on his right hand are gone in P3.

Next week, basketball! Who will the new mystery star be this year?

We’re really gonna need sign man for this big rivalry game.

Technically, isn’t that true of every play in the book? I mean a dive is pretty useless on 3rd and 25.

P2- Why are Kaz and GilPa talking Boo’s neighborhood bookshelves?

I’ve never asked, Dory…why are you named after a cartoon fish in a children’s movie?

So the rivalry is over who can be the biggest jerks? I guess?

I’m telling you that there is something deeply troubling about the relationship between Heather and Gil…any veteran teacher would be distancing themselves from this obvious infatuation, instead Gil gives out passes to skip class while silently Kaz pines for the old days of shower supervision with Gil ….now this icky girl has wrecked the Kaz/Gil dynamic.

Expect Kaz to limit this relationship “situationally”, probably with a tragic event a’ la when silent John Pascoe’s parent’s mysteriously had an “accident”.

It’s Pelwecki time.

Ooh, that means the return of Coach Drool. He was pretty good at the start of the Tru(e) saga. I suppose this means a trick play using their 5th string QB throwing a pass from the RB position….which he never plays. That doesn’t make sense. Which doesn’t mean it won’t happen. But somehow it has to tie into the “whenever H.E. is on the field it’s a pass” problem. Unless, once again, after spending all that time analyzing the problem, they made ABSOLUTELY NO ADJUSTMENT! Not sure if I complained about that before or not.

And speaking of complaints, I don’t want to hear any complaints about today’s Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

And as long as I’m ranting, what the hell was the deal with making a point of calling up a JV tight end that was going to affect H.E.‘s playing time, and then didn’t change her role one bit? In fact he never even played a down as far as we know.

Is Kaz talking about football or a three way?

There’s sound reasoning all over this strip today.

@Ellisburkes; with puns like that you must be working for scale.

I always thought those Clowns from Goshen were the main rival.

But what do I know…

Wow….. we commenters must be Valley Tech based on panel three.

@ t-car: with the reference to AP Biology the other day, it may be a typo. Maybe Darwin didn’t mean rivals maybe he meant they’re bi-valves.
