Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 30, 2024

This…is CNN.

I was half expecting Mrs. Coach Thorp there, and the whole Beth thing was a coma dream. Too “Dallas Shark Jump”?

P1: Did her face get hit with a frying pan?

No ambulances in Milford?

I do appreciate the detail in the artwork from the new artist: lines on the blinds, the detail in the camera,,,and no large hands!

Henry: “Can you draw hands?”

Rachel: “No.”

Henry: “You’re hired!”

No IV going, no monitors, no tangles of wires, maybe it isn’t as bad as we thought; either that or Coach is already in hospice care.

P3…unless our lawyers advise against violating his HIPPA rights.

Gil was piloting a plane when he had his heart attack / stroke / aneurysm / black-out. I’m glad Beth was also a trained pilot and could bring them down.

In all reality, we all know Gil is faking. Nice try Hank , remember Gil’s your meal ticket !

Gil will do anything to get out of this strip… even die

4 days ago I posted The Gilfather would feel the effects of student body right with a broken leg. Laid up with no cards or Get Well Soon balloons. One economy flower vase, probably from Marty. Beth looks different, ala from the Jerry Jenkins era.

Dibs on his Jell-O.

Pretty cool Gil gets to stay in his street clothes as opposed to those stylish hospital gowns.

The new artist may come in with a splash and draw Gil as a dead man. Whatever Gil is suffering from, that band-aid will fix it.

Gotta say that the detail on the camera in P2 is amaze-balls.

I’ll just check in to see what condition his condition is in.

Near death and near Beth at the same time.

They sure have an active life flight in Milford. No ambulances, just helicopters.

Okay, I’ll admit my last comment about the mid-game collision being abandoned without explanation was unjustified given this development. I’ll admit admit that this is a pretty clever plot twist (for once).

(But I still won’t forgive the mid-game discussion about Gil’s love life that set it up.)

Gil’s not doing so good- he looks completely different than he did on Saturday

P-1: Milford Medical, now we know where the Athletic budget cuts went!

P-2: To justify the storyline, the reporter tells the residents of Milford why Gil Thorp rates a news story.

P-3: To treat a concussion, the crack Medical Team apply a band-aide to Gil’s inner elbow.

this is lemonvanwinkle i just woke up wtf wheres neil rubin wheres wigham wheres kaz and clambake im going back to sleep

a town that small needs a hospital that big ?? well they just got a university a couple months ago so makes sense

Who has news at 9?

Beth looks a little frazzled after holding that pillow over Gil’s head longer than she thought it would take. Don Vito from Goshen told her Gil was starting to demand a bigger statue and was getting hinky about covering the spread. She already stole the watch off his arm, and movers are at the house loading furniture while she watches Judge Judy reruns on the television above the bed.

In his unconscious state is Gil demonstrating that he is really, really excited about the nurse who just left?

P1- “..between the Mudlarks and some purple team.”

P2- “…Some people say he’s done a little too much touching.”

P3- Beth perks up when she sees the bump in the sheets.

Yeah, yeah. But what was the final score of the game?

So instead of using the ambulance that is typically going to be at every high school game anyway, it was faster to call for and send a helicopter from one part of Milford to the high school, land on the 40 yard line, then fly to the hospital rather than just use the ambulance and go through the two or three stoplights on the way?

Hmm. I don’t like the shape of her dialog balloons. And the “not directly coming from someone’s mouth” boxes, like in P3, are supposed to be square. I don’t like it! And speaking of stupid, petty complaints, my biggest one would be you not reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Milford just keeps growing. Now their hospital is as large as LA General.

So… where’s the National Media?

Excuse me, but did Gil have his heart attack while flying that plane? Of so, who landed the plane?

Nicely rendered camera. Kaz hasn’t unplugged him yet?

i had a comment banned today no profanity must have been the crankshaft police

Okay, who takes over the Football Team, while Gil is in Recovery, Luke, Cami, etc.? Does Kaz come back to save the day, or does Milford forfeit the rest of the season until Gil recovers? Tune in tomorrow, same Bat time same Bat channel.

Interesting read.

Gil is in a coma, as usual.
