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

P1: Gil embraces failure.

P3: Gil does his Perry Como facial impression.

Nice job on the office floor, Mop!

“Let’s try to win some”, said Gil with a winsome smile.

Someone suggested a VT rematch the other day. Looks that way.

P2.5 (Coach Cami Toe): “Rolling numbers, rocking and rolling / Got my Kiss records out.”

P4 “What time are you picking me up to go to the gentleman’s club, Tays?”

Win some? Wow! A new coaching strategy from Gil. Beth has been having a tremendous effect on him!

Not sure what to make of Gil’s complexion in P3. An uneven application of sunscreen? Whiteface to slur and belittle caucasians? Skin getting bleached out from long, frequent tongue rides by Beth? Other guesses and or theories?

P1 “…and some get rained out.”

You win some, you lose some. Sometimes it rains. Think about it.

Wow. Coach Thorp’s Vitiligo is getting worse.

Now that’s done, Gil can head to the COTY banquet four weeks early.

What a novel approach to coaching. Let’s try to win some games, but not all of them.

Gil has the Get Fuzzy comic open on his laptop.

P 3 (Gil thought bubble): “…like I really care…giggle…”

Wait…..wasn’t this game supposed to be the state quailifier? How does MILFord lose but still quailify for the tourney?

P2 Where was that clam digger claw when E(MeMe)ly was around, Gil?

I wonder how long Cami has to coach here before she earns a coveted red coach’s polo? Or do only the guys get one? And speaking of guys, all the guys and gals are rushing to read today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp.

P1 & P2- Wow, Dr Pearl took that loss pretty hard. Coach Thorp is now just THORP and she gave him a kid’s desk.

“Umm… this is sports, not band!”

Gilpa with the classic – desk raised up a foot and give the underlings kids’ chairs. I’d expect nothing less

“Not to worry, Jami. You win some, you lose some. We can’t all be D & D World Belt Holders.”

“Thanks, Dad. Can I have the rest of your Lifesavers?”
