Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 19, 2024

A DRAGON BALL reference!

I prefer the baby gamera myself

Someone sure can’t draw football uniforms. And what’s with the formal evening gloves?

Whelp. Those face masks won’t protect their faces from anything other than a virus.

What’s with the Covid masks?

Have the schools switched to batting helmets as a cost-cutting measure?

Put RC Owens at Flanker Hank. You can call a cutting edge play called the Alley Oop.

Play looks a little “Cloudy” to me

The wideout looks like he’s wearing a backpack.

Is the db trying to take a dump?

Great timing for asking Luke if he’s sure.

Is that classic block letter graffitti behind the Milford bench? I think it says Home Center, they’re playing at Big Box Store field!

Good call. I-94 can get busy from Wisconsin Dells south on long weekends. I-96 is much less busy.

I-96? I guess Milford is in Michigan, that’s one of our expressways. And speaking of expressways, the expressway to Mopped Up Thorp is clear for now, but expect delays once everybody piles on to read today’s strip.

P3: Is the receiver related to Santa Claus??

In Michigan, the Milford Mavericks continued their drive for second place with a thrashing of Mott Applesauce, 27-0. They remain tied for second place in the Lakes Valley Conference at 6-1, 6-2 overall.

Okay, it’s really the Mott Corsairs, but that nickname stinks.

how does she draw marty normal and everyone else is a circus freak ?

could that be the ghost of big cat ernie ladd as milford wideout ?

soon luke will be singing dont stand so close to me if tays dont move

Are those football players or nutcrackers?

Did they bring in a new actor to play Tays? His head is elongated. Or is that from the sideline injury? And did he ever thank Gil for saving his life? Too many questions here.

Call me a fool, but these numberless uniforms might catch on.

“Oh Nimbus,Oh Someone “Hey,Hey, we’re the Monkeys!

Woo hoo! What an action packed day! From Marty uncontrollably drooling and ranting in the crap shack while Fistpump Man whips the home crowd up into a frenzy to Luke spewing gibberish in front of Sign Man’s cryptic words to playes and snarkers looking at each other and thinking WTF? We have it all folks!

The “Thorp Special”, the vaunted “Rainbow Kick”, and now the “Flying Nimbus”. With such a devastating arsenal, MILFord is sure to lay waste to any team who dares to oppose them.

Meanwhile, Coach Cami is getting Lucas warmed up in the locker room with her rendition of Hot Cross Buns.

The artwork is in serious decline over the last couple of weeks

I think “Flying Nimrod” is more appropriate.

P2- Luke strongly resembles a Klingon circling your Uranus.
