Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 14, 2017

I get the sad impression that once Dafne comes to the conclusion that she went too far the whole student population throughout Milford and surrounding area will embrace Ryan giving a second chance… whereas in reality Ryan will always carry that reputation, (well as much reality as the fictitious town of Milford can muster).

All Mz Rizk need say is, “This is a high school newspaper. We print stories highlighting the achievements of our students and athletes. Period.”

Maybe they’ll break Del Bader out of prison and have him target Dafne.

D.D. in panel two is striking her “I’m turning into a werewolf” pose. Back off, cub reporter!

P2 DD needs an undergarment makeover, her DD’s are sagging too much!!

P2- After chugging that energy packed Hooo, Dafne is sooo excited, she just can’t hide it. She’s about to lose control and thinks she likes it.

My guess is that Ms. Rizk will make Dafne, with Gil and Mimi threatening to kick her off the softball team if she doesn’t, write a puff piece about Ryan. … although I still holding out that she might either give her info to Marty Moon (who will do what he does best) or write the story in her blog (I mean, they should have those new-fangled things in Milford by now … I mean, I think GIl has a Twitter page from a few years ago)

She calls three schmoes with a hand-made kiddie sign a public demonstration?

In all reality , have no fear Mr Reality is here and I have been asked by the corrupt school board, Dr Pearl and Coach Thorp to determine what the reality of this story is .

Are they intentionally holding out on telling us the result of the accidental hit (black eye? broken bone? coma?) in order to spring it on us in a big reveal where we collectively say "ooooh, so THAT’s why her classmates can’t let it go) or is Alyssa’s injury akin to the identity of the pickup truck driver?

P1, Gil, “There’s another problem?”

Van Awkward, “Maybe. Double D has been asking me about what goes on in the showers after practice and games.”

P2, Double D reminds me of John Belushi singing with Joe Cocker on Saturday Night Live.

P3, P3, Ms. Rizk raises the radiation level of her X-Ray Specs in an attempt to calm Double D down.

P-1: Don’t worry Ryan, she’s not writing anything. Cursive is a lost art.

P-2: Nice pseudo name “Ms. Rizk.”

P-3: Ms. Rizk removes her glasses revealing her true identity, while prattling on about needing actual facts.

Today’s special guest star is Steven Tyler as ‘DD’ in panel two.

Of course with this plot line he’s doing this little ‘number’!

DD is one of the most unlikeable characters in years, and it’s not just her Michael Jackson nose job that makes her bad.

What high school paper writes hit pieces about students?
