Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 12, 2024

Isn’t Kwan going pro? It’s all the rage…

I thought it was batters that are urged to make kwantak.

I loved Kwan Tak the Magnificent on the old Tonight Show!

In my experience the real Korean nightmare is something that comes after eating an entire order of extra hot bibim-guksu.

Wait!… Valley Tech plays against other schools besides Milford?

Marty Moon does VT games too?

Maybe Marty got traded to VT? It happened with the Tigers’ radio announcer Ernie Harwell- for a player.

Baseball is Kwan’s only sport. What kind of off season training does this kid do, intense suds dishwashing in real hot water supervised by Jun Jun? Did venerable Milford Memorial Park upgrade the outfield fence from 4 feet to 8 feet? Thanks Wildcat Maris, you civic saint.

Crooked interpreters are lining up as we speak.

Is Marty broadcasting this game just for kicks or is Tilden so poor they don’t have their own play by play?

With all due respects to the Korean nightmare, I wish this strip would instead go through a Japanese Food Nightmare, a la Newhart.

kwan already has a agent long duck dong

marty was gonna say he had some chinese mustard on his fastball but stopped just in time

do to illness at tilden they subsituted the chess team to play valley tech today

Tomorrow, Kwan talks a little s*** to Moon: <…hey!…tells those punks and that doddering old coach over at Milford that I like to pitch with my eyes open, so they don’t stand a chance against me…>

P-4: The Oakland A’s contact the VT coach to find out where they can get uniforms that color.

The rest of the fielders didn’t even bother coming out of the dugout I guess.

P1- Someone forgot to fertilize the infield.

P2- As Kwan throws his last pitch he gives Tilden the finger.

P3- When the rest of the team comes back they’ll be unstoppable.

Dottie could’ve used some Kwantak for her allergies yesterday. There’s 600 tiny time pills in every capsule.

Oh sure, he’s lights out all year. But wait until the big showdown with Milford and he’ll fold like a house of cards again. And speaking of cards, Marty is often a card, although not today. But he does kind of fold in Mopped Up Thorp.

No contact off Kwan Tak.

“…only…only…wanting KwonTak with you…”

Kwan, talk, Kwan, talk / All you do to me is Kwan, talk
