Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 12, 2018

Hoo: the gateway booze.

I know WDIG is a small operation, but this is ridiculous. What do they tell their listeners, if there are any: “WDIG is proud to bring you Mudlarks basketball whenever Marty Moon is available. But no Marty, no broadcast. Sorry, fans.”

Gils gonna suggest Marty and Pirate Boy become a broadcast team.

Yes, a team like Marty had been for a while for a football season a few years ago. Who was that guy?

P1, Nice to see SIGNMAN back and that we’re still in basketball season.

P2, Marty, doing what he does best while Pirate Boy, off the air and sitting home alone with a frosty bottle of Hoo, and the ants. All is well in Milford.

P3, Gil meets with the station manager to see if he can do double duty as both announcer and coach.

Boy, Marty even hangs out at a racist bar , look its Woppy hour.

Familiar panels, familiar props. Fist Pump Man and Sign Man Live!Dark sinister Marty. Everyone’ favorite drink Hoo, and the long overdue panel of GilPa and Race Bannon on the CopyWrite Cafe’.

Speaking of stupid stories – there is Aaron. He looks a lot more muscular, though – must be eating well this year. I wonder what sort of work Gil got his mother…

How nice of Gil, meeting with the manager of Gut Buster Burritos to close the advertising account for WDIG. It’s the least he can do.

P3: Gil’s joined Team Flash?

P4 I want your to keep Marty off the Air. Attendance is up and concessions are skyrocketing!!

There is no reason for Marty to get his job back unless he truly turns over a new leaf and offers a sincere public apology. I’m sure there are plenty of unemployed aspiring sports broadcasters out there who would gladly take his place.

How many announcers said No Thanks to announcing Mudlark’s games because of the “Pirate Network”?

There are no young up and comers that could take over from marty that would be a good cartoon character? How about a Native American for once? That racist filth should never be allowed in front of a mike or camera ever again!

P4, radio guy to Gil: “I don’t mind meeting, but does it have to be in a diner?”

P4 – “Dammit Coach, look at me when you’re talking! It’s very rude!”

Besides wherever MHS is located, is any state still playing in-season HS basketball?

P3: I knew that pose looked familiar- he’s trimmed down since I last saw him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVNiKhJenUg

The comments here had been getting fewer lately. Bitsy starts posting and the activity explodes. Coincidence? I think not!

I have no way to tie this to today’s strip, but as a long-suffering Sixers fan, I feel compelled to say, “Trust the Process!”.

Gil, stop enabling Marty-here is the better response from WDIGhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0hK1wyrrAU
