Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 18, 2023

Wait…. Pedro Martinez? And he needs to pass or stop the clock? What the hell does that even mean? Is that ‘snap’ the sound of a bone breaking and who the hell is ‘Mijo’? This couldn’t get more bizarre if it tried.

First-ever ECS? exploding calf syndrome

Another juice box, stat!

Even though there are some football gaffes with these last few strips, at least it’s football and not something with those idiots Jami, Keri, and Keri’s geek friends

Pedro at least stopped the clock while they drag his a$$ off the field.

If we are gonna have Rice Krispies, gotta have crackle and pop. Blah Count Thorpula! Blah!

Tough break, kid. There’s always the chess team.

Oh, snap!

Gee, I wonder if the resulting lifelong limp will affect his pitching?

Keri buries her face in the shoulder of the young man standing next to her and sobs: “Hey, Sailor, new in town?”

He shoulda passed…

This isn’t awkward at all. A Coach whose son plays for a rival team…

now marty moon thinks hes a doctor or did he just stay at a holiday inn express last night

if henry had a sense of humor twenty flies could have flown into lukes mouth

pedro should have never said talk to the hand like he did panal one

cant wait to next thursday to see what float jami will be riding in milford thanksgiving parade

I feel like I never know the score. The last 3 days of balloons doesn’t help.

Recapping the week: Pedro has no protection, Pedro penetrates, “I’m coming.” Next: off to the hospital.

Torn acl?

P4- Luke runs onto the field resulting in a penalty on Milford. Kim puts in Kwan who dances into the end zone for the win. Monday morning Luke gets fired….again.

Just noticed this – in P2, the Milford defender is wearing his right shoe on his left foot. That Milford student high IQ once again on display. And speaking of on display, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is on full display.

Some Spanish speakers will code-switch into mija when otherwise speaking or writing in English. Mijo is used just like mija, meaning “my son” among family or elders or “buddy” among close male friends.

Tomorrow, Pedro will blame Luke for his injury
