Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 22, 2020

Are you ready for some Valley Ball? Or do you prefer Volleyball? Both to follow. Who do you start this week in your fantasy league — Thayer, Rapson, or Oakwood QB?

P1 Is she a double fisted drinker?? She takes the definition of being a b..ch to a whole new level!!! Somebody needs to knock that giant chip off of her shoulder!!!

P2 Who owns that giant hand??

P3 R & W did not leave enough space so the other half off the team arrives tomorrow when rest of the bus gets there. Milford loses because of a depleted roster,

The scale of today’s strip is all messed up R & W flunked at their attempt at creativity.

In all reality , that giant leach on the arm featured in P2 has got to be a first for Gil Thorp Comic Strip

Too soon? West-Coast readers?

Wow, they really advanced the story line today

P2 – Got to be The Fire Starter – CK’s mother

P1, But I hate football players.

P2, Thing always did enjoy a good bonfire. I think Gomez Addams actually said this on the show once.

P3, Does Oakwood have an indoor stadium or is the team having a pregame shower.

Get invited to this shindig and now I’m the Mt. Dew gopher? Does not mesh well with my fiery ’tude.

P 1.5: “…yeah….I heard that too…”

I am the god of hell fire and I bring you

Fire!

I’ll take you to burn

So that riveting exchange was between Will and Gordon? These guys should wear their jerseys so you can tell them apart. Anyway, it looks as though we are in for another True-Boo love story.

I think they burned down the concession stand.

That is the biggest bonfire Milford has had in YEARS. I smell linament, tuff skin, Coast soap and fresh towels. It reminds me of….VICTORY!

Poor Will Thayer. He is falling for a girl with snakes in her head. Guaranteed misery for Will.

I did post this the other week but so late I don’t think anyone saw it. The Beach Boys from 1966. “Mrs. O’Leary’s Cow”. AKA “The Fire”

and the point of P2 is?

P 1.5: “….I like girls too, so buzz off, buster….there’s nothing here for you…”

I guess Will is humming “I fell into a burning ring of fire” while giving CK the cool intro. She’s going to tell him it “burns burns burns, that ring of fire,” and send him for some whiskey to put in those drinks.

I took Milford and 3 points from Vito in Goshen for the opener. I put down a dime at 500-1 for a Valley title. Vito thinks Gil can’t coach anymore, but he’s been saying that since 1989. He doesn’t know State Champion Gil will have CK sub at cornerback and put the Night Train Lane clothesline on receivers until she’s ejected.

It’s too bad that the team had to bus to Oakwood. I wish we could just have different versions of panel 2 to stare at for weeks!

P2: Is that half of the Hamilton logo on the arm?

P1 – There’s that REBEL we’ve been expecting! Being an ass to simple questions.

P2 – I’ve never seen a hand look dejected before, but that hand really looks depressed! Props to the artist for once.

P3 – Sign Man? I hope you’re not responsible for putting GIMILFORD on that bus!

And speaking of responsible, we know who is responsible for this Mopped Up Thorp monstrosity: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
