Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 22, 2023

Due to the budget cuts, Milford won’t field a varsity team this year?

Why? Sorry. I’m not touching that.

And 69 New Haven is a location?

It definitely says 69 New Haven, and as a parent, my hand is up too.

“…and why did I call the whiteboard a ‘chalkboard’?”

In all reality (sorry Mr. Reality for stealing your thunder), we’re reduced to rooting for JV teams now? And I’m not buying Henry’s BS comment either.

JV state tournaments????

P1- What would be the state of Milford athletics without The Fist Pump Family? A little in the background unlike the gregarious parents in front of them.

JV State Tournaments for baseball annnddd softball? What ever happened to traditional play downs? Never have heard of any state having a JV tournament. JVs end the season in KY with district tournaments.

Wow!! Gil predicted that.

Betting is open on softball. Odds of Milford making the State Tournament, 1-1. Odds of Dorothy becoming a softball star, 10-1. Odds of Keri belting Dorothy in the mouth during this season, 2-1. Odds of Gil NOT slacking off and forcing Cami to do all the work, 500-1. Odds of commenters complaining about the softball story, off the board.

No phone number listed for parents to call? That’s actually pretty smart on their part.

Spoiler Alert: The Opponents will not wear Carolina Blue & Black this year.

Holy moly, I know the other day I said Rod must have been orgasmic over the huge hand drawings, but today he really went overboard. P3 is a new personal record for number of big hands in one panel! And speaking of big hands, let’s have a big hand for the wildly immature Mopped Up Thorp that was just posted.

Rhetorical question: Should I be starting a Teams Held Hostage for the VARSITY softball team?

“Coach, when is the peacock becoming the new mascot? HRRAKK” “Coach, you know where I can get those badass vapes?”

“Why 69 New Haven? Because it’s not 77 Scottsdale. What’s the difference? Mimi Thorp is there getting ate more then any of us here in Milford.”

So does this confirm that Milford is in 69 Connecticut?

I wonder how much the year end compilation is going to set me back?

Rookie move. Gil never asks for questions.

69 New Haven is a huge Yale tradition… or not

The CIAC championships are usually held around June 9… and they used to play those games at Yale Field. But in all my years as a Connecticut resident, there’s never been a JV baseball state championship tournament.

“Why don’t organize have a fund-raiser to support the trip to state? A vape sale at Valley Tech!”

She couldn’t say “f**k you” to the parents, so 69 is the best she could do.

We’re going to lick all opponents in New Haven!

G-dd-m parents.

“69 New Haven”? Junior varsity state playoffs? Is this strip being written in code now?
