    Is that two kids in detention getting yelled at by Vice Principal “You Mess With the Bull, You Get the Horns” Vernon in panel three…

    or Gil yelling at some rando fan who came down from the stands and is distracting his star player in the 4th quarter of the State Championship game?

    It is a pity that Mel is so poor that she can’t afford a decent pair of jeans.

    P1 Is that Jami after a recent sudden growth spurt that is causing him to look dorky for his age? Or is Jami ‘roiding up to impress Gil in hope that he might actually spend more time with him and teach his own kid to play all the sports that he (allegedly) coaches? What the h*ll kind of clapping technique is Mimi using? Mel, act your age and get a new pair of jeans.

    P2 “Keri who? It’s been so long since I’ve been to Milford, I hardly remember anyone in town.”

    P3 BHHL looks on in stunned contempt, not only as They successfully convinced Pedro to defect from VT and join Milford during the break between the third and fourth quarters, but also as Pedro and They start making out on the Milford bench with their action as hot and heavy as the game action.

    Bold prediction: BHHL charges over to tell They to get the h*ll off his team bench. As BHHL lunges at the rebellious Pedro, They steps in front and takes a bone breaking fist to the jaw that was intended for Pedro. The Milford bench clears, led by Cami, who’s itching to get a piece of BHHL. As the melee on the floor begins, a full blown riot ensues in the stands. Hours later when peace is restored, Valley Conference officials cancel the game. Milford and Valley Tech are declared undefeated co-champions. Moments later the sweatshop begins production of “Gil Thorp and Luke Martinez Valley Co-Champions” caps, t-shirts, hoodies, mugs and other commemorative items. While Luke stews over the fact that Gil’s name was listed first, somewhere in Goshen a certain Mr. Vito is not happy about having to refund “contributions” made toward predicting the outcome of the game.

    P1- Can guess that tee shirt Mel is wearing is something goofy like Mel Yeah.

    P3- Tough Keri oozes machismo in her Punisher tee. Pedro is subtly telling Pops he’s in the transfer portal.

    P3: “Call the police. Those moron snarkers won’t let up. They’re causing trouble.”

    P1: When is Walter Matthau going to get acknowledgement by the P.A. announcer?

    P 3 would be better if Keri was sitting on his lap, swappin’ spit, and giving Luke the finger at the same time

    P1: Sargeant Joe Friday/Walter Matthau/Broderick Crawford looks totally pi$$ed about Jamie kicking him in the back.

    P2: Mel’s depilatory cream is not working as well as Mimi’s.

    P3: Big Hand Luke is quite annoyed that Pedro and Keri are not playing along with his “Simon says, Hands on hips” game.

    A bit confused by P3. Are they on the Valley Tech bench? Players can’t invite guests to sit with them. Or does Valley Tech have courtside seats set up for a premium price, like an NBA game? Either way, Pedro wearing a Milford sweatshirt is a bug FU to his dad. Or, more likely, the artist forgot what school he goes to? And speaking of forgetting, don’t forget to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

    Wait, is that me in P1? Did we do a Funky Winkerbean time jump? What grade am I in now? I need a new up to date profile picture.

    Knowing that Gil is clueless about his team, Pedro dresses in Milford gear hoping to be subbed in and to commit turnover after foul to secure the win for VT!

    Haha…“Tobe” will notice Keri & Pedro’s PDA, not be paying attention to the game, and then make some gaffe that costs Milford the game. Gil will be happy, since he welcomes failure in close games, and Luke will be happy as well, that he once again “smoked” Gil F$%-ing Thorp.

    Wow, just realized that yesterday’s MUT had a big problem. I was so excited with my idea of having Jeffy in the game guarding ToBe that it didn’t even occur to me that they were not even playing Jefferson! Oh well, I could change it but it’s not worth it at this point. Jeffy will have to wait for baseball season for his next appearance.
