Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 07, 2024

“So that I can go back to asking him annoying questions!”

What’s going on in that first panel? And, “They will start.” Huh? No one says that. Does that mean they’ll kick off or receive the kick? More sports ignorance.

At least Marty looks like Marty. Luke doesn’t luke much like Luke.

Luke and Cami have been recently treated by Dr Frankenstein

I thought the cheer team was on the field in P1 but those are definitely football players. Maybe warming up with some interpretive dance? Was this a late addition to the schedule as the groundscrew could not finish the endzone lettering? What happened to the yard numbers in P3?

Start where? And Cami looks horrible. Luke with his usual Emperor Ming look.

Speaking of swift, that’s Taylor and Travis on the sideline.

The ratio of WTFs to panels has gone over 1.0

WAIL. P1 sez it all for most of us.

Does the end zone say “WALL”?!?

The end zone, yeah, says “wall.” SMDH

Coaches at karate tournament ???

Hm. The balloons are suddenly normal and varied instead of every one being a rectangle with rounded corners.

It’s the little things.

P1: Alien abduction?

What will MILFord start? Wrong answers only.

Does ToBe get to roll the dice first?

This new artist or style is weirding me out. What’s next Anime?

Two interim head coaches? Never happens because it would create confusion.

Is WALL the new “Clear!”? Is this game playing out in Gil’s delirium brain? Are the drugs that good?P.S. I concur with Mopman. D@mn fine trees.

Good thing someone won that coin toss. Otherwise, we’d never get started. Of course, the way this strip is going, one of these days the coin toss will end in a tie.

No coaches headphones , laminated play cards, clipboards, or any other device used by football coaches. Sounds about right.

I’ll say one thing about P1. That kid in the middle is making a super acrobatic one handed grab! Of the kickoff? It’s so awesome that the kid on the right is fainting. The other one is cheering I guess. And speaking of cheering, many of you will be cheering the return of you-know-who in today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

is luke turning into a walrus ?

what happened to tays ??? well good for him more time at the club

And thus Gil Thorp goes the way of Alice, from Alice’s Restaurant, or Barney Google…remembered in the title; relevant at one time but nobody can quite remember when.

Why are Luke and Cami wearing robes?

Gil is being treated by Dr. Jethro (“I’m gonna be a brain surgeon Uncle Jed”) Bodine, so I expect him to look a lot better than this group of zombie people when he returns.Is that a cemetery past the end zone?

P1- They should fix those holes in the field before someone gets hurt.

P2- Nobody has more than one interim coach, henry.

P3- “…And speaking of recovery, does anyone know how to fix the blue screen of death on my computer?”

“WALL”?

I have to honestly say that, so far, I like Rachel’s artwork.

Henry said “Draw three players trying to jump over wall.”

What is going on in panel one? I don’t know what that’s supposed to be.

imagine marty wearing a mirror on his shoe to look up jackies skirt

Did Tays get hit too? It’s usually the assistant coach that takes over, not two assistant assistants. Hey Henry, there are books you can get at the library that will fill you in on how sports work.

And why is the 20 yard line marked, but not the 10?

P1- that white thing the leaping player caught is the felt football. Mattel you rock!

P1: The Nerds get their revenge by dousing the players’ jocks with Icy Hot.
