Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 16, 2019

No, not True, Howry.

What are you going to do if Max gets involved, Gil, put him in street clothes for the next game?

… right, and you’re going to stop him how, exactly?

Notice Gil’s smile. “I can’t let you get involved” means “I have to protect my deniability!”

I’m not sure why Gil pulled a gun on Max between the 1st and 2nd panels, but it makes Gil’s threat in the third panel more sinister.

P1, Your team has won two games, Gil. You need all the help you can get.

P2, Two more big hands from Maxwell and what’s with the Joker makeup, dude?

P3, I mean I can’t help you get involved. . .

In all reality , Look Coach ,I’m an Art Major at The U , one of my classes is Urban Art. Milford doesn’t have any Urban Art commonly known as graffiti . Those billboards defaming you make a perfect canvass for my display of Urban Art. See you at the opening , Bye.

“Let you”? Max isn’t his student anymore.

“I can’t let you get involved.” Wink Wink.

P1 – “What’s with the hand-in-the-pocket tribute? I’m Max, not Master Bader!”

P2 – Kind of an overreaction to Gil’s statement. “WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! EASY! I didn’t come to see you.”

P3 – I’m not sure how he’s going to check out the billboards. Considering there’s only one that had it’s message changed a few times. Unless he’s providing him with a Wayback Machine…

Max can’t quite get the Vulcan salute right.

P2- Because Max has a class in Vulcan Theology, gives GilPa the opposite sign of live long and prosper.

P3- Thorp’s keenager sense. Because we have some sharp razors here to compliment Ellis Burkes, True dat tribute.

P4- Uhh, True? Steve? Max? As you drive back to Hawaii, make sure you check out the billboards. I’m just an Ordinary Average Guy. On Saturdays, I work in the yard. Pick up the dog doo. Hope it is hard.

P2: “coach! What are you doing? Put that thing away…..I’m not like that anymore”

How could he have missed the billboards; there is only one way in or out of town. P3 I am starting to think the close up on Gil’s face is the artists 2nd favorite drawing. (After hands of course)

Lest anyone things some tragedy befell me in Central City, I’ll be in warmer climes with poor wifi for the next three weeks. Keep snarking the good snark.

Anyone besides me think we may have picked up a second ‘Whiz’?

“State U”….. makes me think of a racoon coat, a hat, a pennant, and an old jalopy.

So now will Max go on the air and blow the cover off the Placeberall scandal?

P3: lets just hit the showers for now… it will be like old times

Gil has a plan-remember Pulp Fiction, as in “I’m Winston Wolf, I solve problems” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANPsHKpti48
