Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 14, 2022

Shouldn’t it be that Tobias’s running is the irresistible force, and Valley Tech’s defense is the immovable object? Or is it that Valley Tech’s defense is the resistance, and Tobias is the voltage?

Or is it 14 all at the half?

Why are they playing up against a fence? And where’s the rest of the teams? Is this some sort of new format?

The resistance? Ha! Woke!

That is a super narrow field. The fence is right on the sideline it appears.

“You can say that again, Marty! But this time, make your word balloon spell ‘irresistible’ properly!”

Having a chain-link fence as an out of bounds marker is just one of the innovations Coach Thorp has come up with.

This dialogue is incoherent. I do th think the author has ever watched football in his life.

In all reality ,ever witness a Chick fight Marty ? Those b#tches can really throw down !

Started out as a night game two days ago. Time does not march on in Gil Land.

Marty flashbacks to air force base: win a dog fight to graduate. Sadly, no. Buzzed tower.

P2.5-“Before I went on the wagon, I couldn’t even say that the first time!”

And speaking of first time, I hope this isn’t the first time you’ve read Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

P4 Lachlan: “Sooooo Marty, you admit you attend dog fights?”

Tobias is some kind of expert at transitioning, from female to male, soccer player to football placekicker to running back. What’ll be next?

End of 2nd quarter in the middle of a play?

Henry’s verbiage fits Marty’s commentary perfectly. Hic, hic. Moonpie, let’s be clear. The meanest dogfight you witnessed was that last Mogen David 2020 you downed.

The crowd’s not helping things chanting “E-C-W! E-C-W!”

Yesterday it looked like they were playing in a college stadium, today it looks like a fenced in practice facility….

whos talking to marty ? john maddens ghost ?

It was 35-28 a few days ago???

I think they’re playing in Dallas, on the Gassy Knoll. Watch out for Badge Man!

Tobias as Milford’s best running back still makes no sense. I guess when basketball season comes we can expect to see him dunking with two hands behind his head.

Merriam-Webster says “dogfight” is one word, not two. Sorry. I’m feeling particularly snarky today.

Vito from Goshen invites all the sharpies to double down for the second half. The ending guarantees to be irrisistable. The wise guys are leery of the “over” at 42. Waiting for a big bet from “Hank” at the last minute.
