Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 20, 2022

Gil looks like he had money on the other team.

P2: The ball must be electric….must be one of those Tudor electric football games from back in the day.

It’s good?

Vito, what’s the early line on Milford’s playoff odds? Will it be a (typical) Milford one and done, or will we be dialing operators standing by to take our ‘Gil Thorp, State Champion’ gear orders?

So confused. What’s good? The point after? Or is this a two point conversion? Tays is a bewildering story teller.

6 panels of no dialogue, save for Marty’s drunken outburst of “It’s good!” and Gil leading the team in a “Yeah” cheer. Barajas is definitely not a graduate of the Charles Dickens Literary School.

All of this excitement had to happen B.T., Before True. Does anyone remember the exploits of this Tays guy and #11, the Joe Kapp heaving QB?

P-1: The new white receiver challenges the D backs to a race.

P-2: The frozen hands of the opponents can’t stop the Gil Thorp cotton warmed fingers of the Milford Split end (whoever is wearing Teys number).

P-3: Jolly Good!

And so Gil wins the Coach of the Year award for getting to the State playoffs, what, 25 years ago?

In all reality , Vitto is busy setting the odds on when Summer starts in Milford , check back later !

This is just a ploy to sell more “State Champion Gil Thorp” merchandise to distract us from a no-golf summer.

So that’s not snow, it’s confetti. That’s been falling the entire 4th quarter?? Is that foreshadowing??

82 on a defensive back??

Compelling

The whole regular football season is over in 3 days??? Was I in some alternate universe?

Ooh, I was close, there was dialog/narration today after all. But only in the last panel. I predict plenty of talking tomorrow. And speaking of talking, everybody is talking about today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp.
