Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 15, 2024

It’s called the opener. Having a sports strip with an author with limited sports knowledge is absurd. We deserve better.

Also, am I understanding that Dotty is pitching through a small hole in a protective screen??? Perhaps my knowledge is limited, but I’ve never seen such a thing; usually it’s a screen you can move behind after a pitch is thrown, not throw through a hole in it. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Pounding coming. What’s over under for how many runs Dorothy allows in first inning?

P1 Is pitching the “opening” a thing? When did a screen with a hole on it become a tool for pitchers to improve their accuracy? Does one really want to be that precise all the time? Won’t hitters eventually zone in and start smacking the snot out of the ball if it’s located in nearly the same spot everytime?

“Daddy says I’m the best at it!”

Looks like Coach Cami Toe has about had enough of Dotty Dubbs’ ego and is getting ready to put her mind right.

Does it look like the catcher is about double the usual distance from the pitcher?

D Dubbs works on perfecting her “launch” angle, delivering her pitch. Is she the best pitcher? She is at least the prettiest smelling pitcher. Bring the rally hippo back!

What about the artist? Is it that difficult to draw a fence where the mesh is connected ? And how did Dorothy’s uniform change colors AND go sleeveless from P1 to P3 ??!!!

I take it she’s filming a commercial for the opening of a new store?

Well, HB…here’s a thought…draw all the ladies in Daisey Dukes. No one here woulld argue about the Sports Shorts then.

Don’t you just love how the softball team talks in the middle fielding grounders and pitching?

Dottie Dubbs’ ego mirrors the writer’s.

That is some crazy pitching on display. From firing fastballs through that small screen opening in P1, to the one Keri is catching in P2 coming out of Dotty’s ear in P3! And speaking of catching, you should be catching the latest episode of Mopped Up Thorp right about now.

P 4: “…. That IS so, plus I’m the only hot girl on this team, so everyone would rather see me out there anyway…”

Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a long sleeve out of my tank. It’s MAGIC!

and we all thought Pedro was pitching what Keri was catching.

did she rip off her sleeves in panal 3 to prove even her armpits smell pretty ?

they still filming that documentry about rod ? the cameraman wants to come over and smell dorothy

they should let inma be a pitcher she could hide vaseline in her hiblib to get more curve on her curve

Glad to see Peanut is finally using protection.

So coach—you want to Teach Her An Important Lesson? Or win the game?

Dotty is a natural leader. She knows all the nursery rhymes.
