Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 14, 2024

P3 sound effect describes this plot.

Spicoli and his friends must be on the bus.

So the kids took a school bus to see Star Wars?

New day. Team on way to game. Antiquated bus breaks down. They need a new fund raiser and someone suggests selling vape to…

Oh, been there, done that. Maybe they’ll be selling weed this time around.

You picked a bad day to get out of bed, Mr Reality.

Girls get a charter, boys get a defective Big Yellow Taxi?

P2.5 “If I poke Jimmy in the eyes and impair his vision, then will he be ready to pitch, Gil?”

Oh Signman, where art thou?

Winners get the nice bus. Losers get the pos yellow bus and a set of steak knives.

The bus is not going pro.

As the bus sits stranded, Luke channels his inner Johnstown Chief and commences to beat the hell out of the side of the bus. Gil: What are you doing? Luke: I’m making it look meaner.

Don’t they have something called a “starting pitching rotation”? Or do they just wait till the last minute before each game and decide? P3: Yep, Mr. Reality, again. Now get out of that engine so we can get to the game.

Oh Boy! Oh Boy!! I can’t wait until tomorrow when a new HS kid, working for the local Garage, shows up throws a stone at 90+ before fixing the Bus and Gil has a new pitcher to face the Korean “slightly bad dream” and a certain negative blonde’s future boyfriend. You get TWO…TWO…Two plots in one.

Girls softball gets a modern ‘Trailways’ type bus (5/9) and boys baseball gets a daily-use school bus. ??

Seriously, what is going on in panel 3??

Is anyone besides me having trouble figuring out how this bus is put together in P3? I can’t for the life of me understand what’s going on with what I think is a rear view mirror.

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

“Well, here’s your problem: you got one of those cubist buses! Sure, you can perceive it from multiple perspectives at once so you can better understand its context, but that kind of setup is hell on an internal combustion engine.”

jimmy pop corn and i dont care ? is jimmy a mystery like eliza ?

milford mayor dirk diggler annouces milford will put in bid for next superbowl

luke glad bus broke down near woods because hes packing a deuce

Probably a good thing it broke down though since it looks like the hood is blocking most of the driver’s view.

Maybe the girl’s Madden Cruiser can come to their rescue.

Well, now all those commenters over in “Crankshaft” know what Ed’s been up to.

Guess they don’t have to worry about who is starting today since they forfeit the game. Odd too, because it was a home game.

I think P3 is supposed to be us looking up at the bus from the front driver’s side corner. Things are confused because the view of the sky above the lights has inexplicably turned yellow>

P4: Out of nowhere zooms Del Bader, celebrating his recent release from prison, and slams into the bus.

Somebody is peed cuz he’s not starting or playing today

“All right, who left his vape stick on the radiator?”

P 2 (Gil): “…no!…my name is Gil…”

Today’s special guest artist: M.C. Escher.

Gil, Coach of the Year, as always. Perhaps you should have developed a second pitcher during the preseason. Or at least prior to gameday. And speaking of at least, at least you know what’s coming in today’s Mopped Up Thorp, with all the bus and road action.
