Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 23, 2024

Thanks. As suggested, just went back to 4/5/23. Does Rodney have a heart condition? I remember the thread of the football player — “Sacko” or something similar — who was also thought to have one, something about switched records.

Pedro, you best watch yourself.

Quit misdirecting those free throws, my guy.

Is this in any newspapers? Because “Read 4/5/2023” seems to assume that it’s digital.

After reviewing 4/25/2023, the only thing I took was a WAP!

We’ll just leave it here and get to the start of the hockey game on Monday.

No need to go back and re-read. This whole nightmare is pretty unforgettable.

Let’s all go back to 4/5/2023 so Henry gets more clicks.

Moon: “… but wait!…the tech bench is being called for a technical foul!… Coach Kwan is just livid that Milford is allowed to shoot free throws for an offensive foul and has apparently said too much so now Milford will get two more foul shots…”

where is the milford mascot when the team needs him

the rim should go hrack hrack instead of clank

P1.5 “It’s just a flesh wound. I’m not quite dead yet.”

meanwhile jami finds what he thinks is a vibrating pickle in gils bottom draw !

P-1: Henry & Whigs qualify for a PSA: The correct way to hold someone hanging off of a cliff (per the Milford Fire Dept.)

P-2: That sigh isn’t from the crowd, Marty. Check out Rodney’s posture.

P 2.5-3.5 Square: To refreshen your breath, chew Doublemint. It’s two gums in one.

P-3: Metal hits metal! This is a tougher League than we thought. Go ahead, dribble that ball!

He might make the next one if he moves up to the free throw line.

Hey Marty (Henry), even if he made both free throws it would still be a one-possession game.

P3- Ouch! Marty has Milford -4.

For a strip that’s not about sports and never has been, having 12 consecutive days of them is pretty remarkable.

Riveting. though giant hands in P1 save the day.

P1 – Why the hell is the whole crowd on the court? You’re all scuffing it up!

P2 – See what I’m concerned about? Check out that sheen!

P3 – Dang, missing that shot keeps it a one possession game. If only he had made it, then it would be a….one possession game.

And speaking of possession, hopefully you’re in possession of a sense of humor when you read Mopped Up Thorp.

A little early for the eclipse.

No Sign Man? No Fist Pump Man?!? They are the best characters in the strip.
