Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 18, 2022

Can’t Hollis just not go to parties where there might be drinking? Or does she think that if other kids on the team drink, even if she’s not there, the Air Force Academy might turn her away? What about if other kids in her Math class drink? Or in the school in general?

This is Neil Breen-tier dialogue writing. Just atrocious.

Perhaps Hollis should discuss these situations with Air Force Academy admissions? Or with Mimi — who clearly DOES have SOME right to set rules for the team.

P2.5 “For sure. Hey I’ve got some weed, wanna light up with me and maybe I will get stupid with your frisky knee?”

You have to admit it’s selfish of Hollis to worry about her future.

Where are the betting windows from yesterday? They were a nice touch. And what’s Hollis standing on?

Cressa: I speak for all the girls of Milford High. With these Keebler elf hairdos and Clark Gable mustaches, we deserve a pop now and then. Cheers.

P3: The rest of us should follow their lead.

P 2.5: “…we’ve got a party to get to anyway…”

P 4: “…yeah, but no one is gonna’ listen to you until you stand on one of the tables and do your leading during lunch…”

Everybody sing: “Every party needs a Pooper, that’s why we invited you! Party Pooper, Party Pooper”

P-1: Wait, you think a seltzer blowing up could affect your appointment. How in the hell did you pass the admissions test?

P-2: Your selfishness doesn’t trump our selfishness? Very deep

P-3: Well, I tried. I guess I will have to narc them out, now. That should go well.

A little stupid?

She’s going to be one of those officers who makes it all about herself instead of the servicemembers under her command.

I took the advice in the second panel and quit reading.

Here’s an idea. Don’t go to parties with alcohol. Then it doesn’t matter what blows up, it isn’t on you. I’m also not convinced that 6 kids drinking 1/3 can of hard seltzer each could potentially “blow up” anyway. And speaking of blowing up, Mopped Up Thorp is blowing up in popularity! Readership may have even hit double digits!

I think the more important question here is what happened to P2 girl’s fingers? Been losing bets through Pranit without paying and Vito chopped them off?

If Hollis hasn’t heard of fratricide, she will soon enough.

P 1.5: “…and for God’s sake, tuck in those pajamas…”

So it appears that we’re heading towards these two girls getting caught with alcohol at some point, and I assume kicked off the team. Unless Rubin pulls one of his, “introduce conflict but then just ignore it the rest of the season” tricks and there is no more drinking. I’m getting ahead of things, but if so, they’ll be kicked out of Milford, right? I mean, if a butter knife means you have to enroll at Valley Modified, than this would probably mean being deported.

I just got a notification that someone replied (on the same day) to a comment I made 6 years ago. Hmm…

Too bad one of us snarkers didn’t do something cheap and tawdry to push the number of comments into triple digits for the day, what? Oh, never mind…
