Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 11, 2024

Whigham is gonna sue to get his name taken off of this crap. This isn’t “stylized,” this is just awful.

Nameless, faceless, numberless garbage.

Still no numbers and unusually clean uniforms after a completed football game.

P1: Name of kicker? Holder? Wind? And shouldn’t right (plant) foot be further back? P2: Shouldn’t Moon emphasize word NO? P3: Son of a gun? Another penalty and opportunity? Overall strip particularly weak today.

Yeah, Luke would say “Son of a GUN!”

Holding on that skinny no-number guy over there. 10 yards from the spot of the foul. Repeat 3rd down.

They did great, but the expression on their faces says otherwise .

The kick missed because the holder let go of the ball too soon!

I am so glad that they’ve finally managed to sync up the writing on this strip with the art – Gil Thorp is now a narrative mess AND a visual mess!

I like this

Are these replacement players? And why are they all the same exact size and build?

Where’s Tays?

I thought the score was tied? At halftime Milford was down 7 and then got a touchdown.

P4- No they didn’t.

CFL rules were not enforced. They did not have to run/ kick the ball out of the endzone to avoid the single point. It was a bad time for the kicker who had previously gone 10/11 on field goals to miss. It will be late, but the stats will update as 10/12 tomorrow.

P4: “Now embrace failure and like it, you maggots!”

At least Luke has some competitive fire. Cami sounds like she’s ready to hand out participation ribbons and orange slices before leading the team in reciting the nursery rhyme of the week.

Brilliant artwork today. The blank faces reflect the empty, hollow feeling after losing a hard fought game.

Luke wanted a Gatorade shower.

P 4 (rando player): “… yeah coach bimbo… we did great but you coaches didn’t do sh!t…”

when did casper and the ghostly trio and extended family join the team

shut up cami go home and shave

so milford gonna play all there games at night because the artist cant draw faces ?

P-1: As the kicker is about to step on the ball, the holder tells that ball: “STAY!”

P-2: Close enough for a 47 yard HS field goal. The referee awards one point because it was within one horse shoe’s width before the wind caught it.

P-3: If not winning, is doing great. What new adjective would be on the vocabulary test, tomorrow? Uh, Luke, …if you’re going for endorsement money, you need to tell us what brand of gun.

he might have made the kick if the holder had been positioned correctly for a right footed kicker

I like the art fine, but even I think they should have numbers on their jerseys. And let’s name the players, please.

Wide right, Just like the Buffalo Bills. UGH

Next artist will be using stick figures.

Why is the kicker wearing a glove on one hand? Is that Michael Jackson?

Well, his plant foot is so far off he must’ve kicked the holder, who let go before the kick, but since he was holding a pillow, it didn’t really matter..

47 yarder in high school? Really? Why didn’t they use the rainbow kick?

They were unable to win one for the GilPa. Does that mean 6 more weeks of bad strips?

The art gets more atrocious each day.

But they’re not “going for it”. Going for it implies they’re trying to get the first down. And what’s with Luke? Is he high or something? He didn’t react to the missed field goal until the ball landed, teams congratulated each other, everyone left the field, and the team was gathered together by Coach Cami. And speaking of high, you’d have to be high to not want to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
