Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 24, 2024

The Fist Pump Girls Team…

Where are they supposed to be in P1? Is that the backstop in pink? Oy…

Oh, you don’t see the point? Maybe you should look up and to your right at who’s name is on the strip, sister.

Particularly in small businesses, almost everyone has to play out of position once in a while.

P2.5 (Sniff, sniff) “It doesn’t smell pretty.”

You’d better be careful Dotty Dubbs. You’re surly attitude is about to set Coach Toe off. You’ll be a pretty smelling heap by the backstop after Toe goes upside your head five or ten times.

It’s like Dotty Dubs is one of us now. Welcome, new snarker!

P1- Cami references GT as “Gil” instead of Coach Thorp. Attitude reflect leadership.

P2- Rampant EES and precocious teens go hand in hand. Hand? Hands? Pay attention Whigs.

P3- Cami: It doesn’t matter what you think! Know your role Jabroni!

Unlike football, baseball and softball are sports where players can have some fun swapping positions. As a lefty first baseman, I used to love getting a few innings in at third or short or shagging some balls in the outfield. And every position player thinks they can pitch!

This little plot thread is absurd. The “coaching” teaches kids nothing other than “have fun!”

Yeah, Dorothy, and apparently your role is striking out to end games

You got a pretty face, Dotty. Shame if it got messed up…

Quite a few wrestling references here today. P1: Cami failed to mention that the Iron Sheik also broke the boys’ backs, did something else and made them humble. P3: If they know their roles, they should also shut their mouths.

P 2.5 (Dorth): “…why? …did you f*rt?…”

P 2: Which story is Dubs referring to?

P 2: Those hockey players should have said that to her too.

“And my role is to strike out on three straight pitches with us down by a run and the bases loaded.”

Utility players? We don’t need no stinking utility players!

P 1.5 (random girl): “… if Gil told you to jump in front of a train, would you do that too?…(giggle… snort…)…”

Hey, Henry, no Passover Seder at Kaz’s place this year? To modify the first of The Four Questions, why is this year different from all other years — or at least from last year?

i wonder if cami said excuse me just like aunt ester

one day dorth will get mad enough and tell cami to KISS MY GRITS !

i think cami just loaded the hat with fortune cookie slips to mess with the team . dorths fortune said you are known for your fabulous odor

P2- “Another positive pregnancy test? This is absurd.”

P4- “I’m usually the one in the French Maid outfit.”

P 2 (Dubs): “…my short straw here sez ‘coach’….well, that oughta’ be easy enough….I see the way you do it, so no problem…”

I guess when we were hounding the writer for more sports, we should have clarified we meant GOOD sports.

no ones seen luke and tays for awhile there down in mexico enjoying donkey shows

P1.5: Are you talking about playing other positions or Loofa "drills.

P-2.5: It says Power Forward!?

P-3.5: Rolls are only a part of this drill, you also have to learn to bump and grind.

It looks like Dorothy is trying to ignite that slip of paper with her intense stare. Not working. And speaking of intense, Mopped Up Thorp is not very intense, but it is a bit ridiculous.

P2-“Ooo-ooo that smell

Don’t you smell that smell

Ooo-ooo that smell

The smell that’s around yoooouuuuuu-oh, nothing, Coach, I was just singing to myself. You want me to put on the knee pads now? And can I borrow your catcher’s mitt, Keri?”
