Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 27, 2024

Threw the ball behind the batter? … Not bad for a strikeout!!

Such compelling dialogue!

Quail-ifier?

That’s a good pitcher who can get the batter to swing at a ball going behind his butt!

That’s a great call to say he won the game when the ball is still in flight…said no one ever.

Have there been more than 2 or 3 boys games this season and we’re at the qualifiers already?

In all reality, take a moment today to remember those who have served our country.

About time for a Coach Luke meltdown around here.

VT is 5-0-1 during this undefeated streak

I think “quailifier” was intentional, because it distracts us from all that is wrong in the picture in panel 2. Does he pitch with no stride at all?

I thought the Korean Nightmare was VT’s ace? Did he trade in his cleats for a nail file?

P 3: Silly rabbit….of course not…Milford never loses

The one consistent factor in the new GT storylines is Pedro has great sideburns. So much so that Ericka and Coach Toe are not envious but jealous.

A time of remembrance. Happy Memorial Day Snarkers.

i thought for sure todays strip would be gil wearing his leather helmet and goggles flying his sopwich camel

does pedro get to go to whizzos ice cream with coach kim when he wins ?

P1: The game begins. P2: That All, Folks! P3: But the batter’s still up??

P2: After the announcer already called it when the pitch was on the way to the plate… did the hitter really have any chance?

Setting up a Pedre/Tobe grudge match for Keri’s heart.

P2 is a visualization exercise Pedro uses. He is remembering knocking down the milk bottles and winning the stuffed panda.

Gosh, it seems as of the season just started and here we are on the verge of the playdowns (as they call them here). Life comes at you fast.

Hey, I could be the winning pitcher, if the batters swing at pitches that are behind them.

Into the “qualifiers” and he’s only had 4 starts?

this is for the birds

How many starters does a high school team use? Maybe 3-4 regulars I’m guessing since they don’t play every day? I think the school near me has about 30 games scheduled. Kwan must have had arm trouble if he only pitched 4 times, unless they’re super protecting the arm of the future MLB star. And speaking of stars, yes, the new star of Mopped Up Thorp is back hurling more insults.

I would like to say THANK YOU to all the Veterans for their services for our country. We walk tall thanks to their sacrifices and commitment. Where you can, do something to remember these heroes. Personally, I take 5 minutes each day to thank 1 Veteran for his or her services for America but whatever you feel comfortable doing is fine. The point is, do SOMETHING. Our Veterans deserve it.

Lest we forget

Another new hat with black on one side. The VT marketing team has gone pro.
