Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 02, 2018

So they pull Pelwecki out of class at 10:05 to tell him he has mail? These kids are seldom allowed to stay in one place for an entire period.

“Nice! What else does it say?” “He thinks I should at least wash my hair once in a while if I’m going to wear it this long.”

He says Del Bader thinks he’s a victim!

“He says I don’t need to hit long balls (at the expense of my team) as I can get an academic scholarship, instead. Argh! How boring!”

P1, And shake my flat booty for Dr. Pearl.

P2, That’s one massive left meat hook on Moose.

P3, Somebody a while back mentioned Moose being a walk-on, ahem!

Get a haircut!

In all reality , What else does it say, Kevin you moron ? Inquiring minds want to know !

What are the odds Milford High School also houses the local ICE office? Paloma Padilla, Paloma Padilla, please come to the office.

State U. sends out letters to high school students at random, telling them that if they walk on, they can try to make the team! Er… if Moose has a 3.5 GPA, shouldn’t he have been able to figure it out for himself that walk-on tryouts is something that sports teams do?

I gotta go to State now, cause I can’t walk on at Harvard.

“What else does it say?”

“Nothing — paper can’t talk!”

…could this be the end of one of these horrible story lines? Could R & W actually get us to Milford CC for a brief summer run?

It sez that this is the end of this idiotic story line and that I won’t be returning to this strip until I’m a washed-up, alcoholic adult, in about ten years or so.

“It says that tuition here is $22,000/year and they accept credit, checks, or a 6 month installment plan. If you’re really good, we may cover your fees for books for one semester.”

Can’t any schmo “walk on and try to make the team”? He needs to be called to the office to receive a letter telling him that?

Aaand here we go, brakes pumped on a storyline already outpaced by the average glacier…

The secret of P-3: KP has a new stamp for his Philology hobby.

The secret behind this story line is very PC. Kevin is a Trans-sportual, a Baseball player trapped in a Football players body.

My Great-nephew got a scholarship to play baseball for a ‘JUCO’ here in NC. Maybe not a big deal but he gets to keep playing for at least two years and who knows.

If I were a Milford student I’d send a letter to myself at the school every day. Who knows how much class I could get out of?

Good thing Gil used his massive influence to get Moose a chance to attend an open tryout at State University. You know, like anybody else who was going there could do.

P1 – Kaz didn’t hear a word Gil said, he’s totally digging his ass.

P4: school administrator: “Hey Coach….WTF are you doing here? You lost or something? You never come down here, even in a casual manner…”

As Captain Obvious would point out, the door behind Gil in P-2 is very cool.

See how many posts we get when it’s too hot or too cold to leave the house?
