Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for March 14, 2023

Why on Pi Day?

Slow day at Milford High? Not taking readers to the classrooms and playing fields of Milford High School.

Strip about high school sports. I’m in!

Remembering Jack on the anniversary of his passing.

Was Jack’s colorist always (or almost always) using Carolina blue and black for opposing team uniform colors even way back then?

In all reality , Thanks Mr Berrill .

Many thanks to Jack Berrill for creating the Gil Thorp strip. Sometimes it’s fun to escape to the world of GilPa.

A nice tribute on the 27th anniversary of Jack’s passing. Hopefully the editorial team will allow for another dedicated panel to Jack on his September 22nd centennial birthday.

Thanks for tribute Henry.

Uhm. What happened to the girls’ sports teams ?

Is Mr. Berrill dead? Because he’d be rolling in his grave to see where this strip has gone.

On Pi Day, somewhere in the Sonoran desert Mimi, Erika and Amelia are talking wedges and sharing slices of their delicious pies with each other.

And the Milford (Michigan) playoff run ends with a 59-41 thrashing by Rochester Adams in the Regional Semifinals. Unfortunately the coaches didn’t buy the players new shoes, and it showed.

Single bar facemasks shown here- likely punter tackling punter on a quick kick fake.

They could have shown kaz or gail nelson for old time sakes

Henry, Nice tribute. You made my job a lot easier because today’s post will be short(ha).Seriously, I grew up on Gil Thorp and it has been an integral part of my life. My mom and I were always talking about the haps on the strip and I’d see a lot of people in many different places talk about what was going on in Milford that day. Jack Berrill must have done something right. Well done today, Big Guy. You da Man.

Nice tribute that I cannot alter, so going with an overdue appearance of Sign Man and Fistpump Man, exclusively on Mopped Up Thorp: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/
