Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for December 27, 2023

The pro has the ball…we can’t lose!!!

P1: The M&M mascots take the court…maybe Peanut is one of them.

As in an attempted three point shot or a made three point shot that puts Milford up by one with an eternity of eight seconds left in the game? Is it over? Perhaps not until the UNC blues say it is.

P1 Fistpump Family continues their holiday rooting frenzy! Has Whigs slipped another subliminal message to the snark-o-sphere commenting about the story content with the subtle hand gesture carefully hidden in the mayhem of the moment? Coincidence? I think not.

P1- is that The Gilfather talking strategy with Willie Mays Hayes Tays? Or which nightspot to troll to after the game? The point is GT used to be GQ dressed for basketball season. C’mon GilPa, step your game up. Players make plays.

….”and Barnes dislocates an elbow and a shoulder!”

Maybe we’ll find out how this game ends (?) or maybe it’s over to wrestling or hockey tomorrow.

Basketball games should be 2 minutes long. Spot them each 100 points, and the winner is the one who makes the 3 pointer at the buzzer.

P 1: and the crowd goes wild while the coaches stand around and talk

This is all taking place in MeeMaw’s morphine-addled unconscious.

is that the guy from barbershop in panal two ?

Did they change the rule in H.S. basketball about no jersey digits over 5? When I was in H.S., home was odds and away was evens so no two players on the court wore the same number, regardless of team. The uniform sets would be 10 and 11, 12 and 13, 14 and 15 and then on to the 20’s,30’s,40’s and 50’s but no number ever higher than 55 since like most humans, the ref only had five fingers on each hand to indicate fouls.

i hope they play that team from last year with the fifty year old kid

i see three people with hands up to buy a hotdog and no concession vendor in sight

Hey, I see my cousin next to me in the stands. Arm Waving Man!

In all reality , is that the grandson of Marvin “ Bad News “ Barnes who played for Detroit ? If it is kudos to Hank for slipping Bad News Jr. in for a appearance.

Air Ball!!! The dream is over. Next plot point.

Fistpump Man, Arm Waving Man, Texas Longhorns Fan, everybody turned out for this battle. And speaking of battles, no need to battle for access to today’s Mopped Up Thorp, it can handle the throngs all racing to read it.

This kid is going to be in the NBA in two years, and teal team leaves him wide open? Fire the coach!

At least today we have some sports action instead of adult infidelity and teenage angst…

gil hopes you will crowdfund to send him some swiss colony if you click on once it never goes away
