Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 01, 2024

P1: The first kid is so intimidated that he keeps tabs on Rod via his phone.

P4: “Rod throw garbage out bus window. Make Leo cry.”

P1 Ah yes, it’s the old, “hey Rod, pull my finger” gag on the team bus while ToBe captures the hijinks between team mates with his nifty over-the-shoulder hidden smart phone trick.

P2 “Rod is so competitive, he not only plays against the opponent, but against his own team mates in every game.”

P3 “Rod is a legend in his own mind.”

P4 “Rod is known all throughout the Valley for his heart-stopping play. Unfortunately, it is his own heart that stops.”

I can’t wait until these two goofs interview Rod’s “room mate”, Mel.

“But hey, at least Rod doesn’t assault the Coach like Martin did.”

Doesn’t Hot Rod Barnes play baseball? Or is he skipping the season to prep for pre NBA draft workouts?

but despite all that, he doesn’t smell as pretty as Tobe

Oh, snap!

P 4 (Leo): “…he’s an ok high school player I guess, but good enough to go pro?…there ain’t no Oakwoods or Valley Techs in that league…gimme’ a break!….pro windbag maybe….But you two clowns will probably cut my interview from your little movie, so what does it matter what I think?…”

Is the follow up question to that going to be “How?”

“Rod’s so good, not one college bothered to recruit him!”

Is Rod self-financing this production? Will there be any interest from Cannes?

does leo cut his hair with a flowbee or he goes to same barber as that coach who was gonna call the comissioner

cappy decides to be in shadow mode today he got too much attention yesterday

leo wonders how much wampun he will get paid for this interview

Synchronized dribbling. Way to spread the floor.

P 2.5 (Leo): “…but that really ain’t sayin’ much because Toby is one of our best players too…”

P 3.5: “…just ask him…he’ll tell you all about it…it’s his favorite subject…”

P3- Is that a soul patch under your lip? Oh wait, never mind.

What was the point of the last 2 days, driving out to the Milford Res?

The new baseball….turtleneck sweaters?…look good. And speaking of looking good, today’s Mopped Up Thorp looks good as usual.
