Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 18, 2017

I guess you could say that when it comes to end zones, Millard fills more.

Judging from the way Millard scored, at least Milford still owns the clock.

Millard West’s coach brilliantly and ingenious devised game plan to smother Millford early, control the ball, and own the clock is working to perfection.

“You guys haven’t been doing any smothering! I told you we had to smother them!”

Will the kid sing a (pep) song instead of Gil giving an inspiring halftime speech?

Milford “ain’t s**t”

IF MW is going to reverse things, Gill will call for a Double Reverse. Last seen in the 60s

The Smother them early strategy went over as well as Keith Moon’s exploding drum kit

After every Wildcat score, the PA speakers blare that new song screamed out by breakthrough artist Ted Nugent. Cat Scratch Fever, duh, duh, duh. Cat Scratch Fever, duh, duh, duh, duh.

Isn’t someone who wears #1 usually an offensive player?

HIFIRICK, #1 for the past 3 years was Max “Just Throw Me The Damn Ball” Ortiz. The #1 in P1 looks like a plodder. Notice how low his pants are below the knee. P3- Fist Pump kids are pissed GilPa hasn’t inserted them into the game.

Why is the narration box in P1 talking about “the best laid plans…”? That surely doesn’t apply to Gil’s “strategy”.

What’s this strip coming to? In the first two panels R&W are talking about plans being laid and the opposition making passes. Is this an allusion, a metaphor, a simile, or a parable? Mrs. Brown’s English class wants to know.
