Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 24, 2018

I had a feeling that the world-saving “peacenik” grew horns and a tail on the court.

Austin 3:16 says Paloma’s about to get a stunner

Is she saying that with a Southern accent? The referee must be very confused.

From the trajectory of her fall, the other girl is clearly diving. Don’t blame Paloma for being upset.

P3 I smell a big “T” coming and a lot more trouble down the road for “5-0”. At the same time the Valley Conference is known as a a pansy conference!!!

is that Joe the Bartender from Central City moonlighting as a ref?—- must feel bad about freshining up all those drinks Del had

P1, Looks like any NBA game to me. Come within 3 feet of an opposing player and those guys start flopping on the floor like fish.

P2, Book ’em Ref-o!

P3, The NBA kind, PP.

…must be non-conference, never heard of “West Falls” before.

Mimi needs to instill some discipline into her squad, pretty sure 5-0 makes contact with ref in P3…ejection coming

Careful with the Ref, Paloma, I understand that Black Lightning’s back.

P3- See these man hands Stone Cold? What? I’m fixin’ to knock the taste outta your mouth. What? “T” me up? WHUD!

Uh oh, PP is about to erupt. It’s going to be less than 20 minutes of playing time today.

The ref goes to the PP tape to show her the infraction.

Do not argue with ref Otis Sistrunk.

Cinco Nada, Bubba

Ah, yes – the John McEnroe approach… good luck with that…

Scorekeeper Jerry Mathers (adult version) seems somewhat amused by the call.

In the nitpick department….In P2, since it’s not in quotes, it’s the narrator describing to us what’s going on, it is not the ref speaking, same as P1. It wasn’t really necessary for the narrator to spell out “five-oh”, we can read the 50 he typed!

Is “Girly-girly” Paloma’s way of saying “blank-blank”?

I’ll bet Paloma becomes a problem by frequently getting technical fouls called on her.

Jump ball! Wait. Who ordered the possession (ain’t got no) arrow sign??!!

Someone must be on vacation. The new strip can again be found on the Seattle site.
