Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 15, 2024

*Hastily scribbling in facemasks…. “Those dang snarkers!”

This Artwork Sucks.

Nice shout out to an old Dan Patrick line from the heyday of SportsCenter in the first panel. That was as cool as the other side of the pillow (the late Stuart Scott).

Third and long screams “pass”. In P3 the runner has his left arm way way out of place for a hand-off. Where did the numbers come from ? I’m so tired of debating whether HB or now RM doesn’t know WTF they are doing !!!

Is Gil at the game?

P4- Azoutite fakes to Gordon, sets, it’s a drag across the middle to new acquisition Lucas Martin! He. Could. Go. All the way! Settle down Peanut.

“Blitz the RB”?!? Good lord and take your job seriously, Henry.

Somebody help! Find the crocodile that bit that poor kids arm off!

Is Rod wearing a tin foil helmet in P1 or is that a guardian helmet made by cheap sweatshop labor?

P4 ToBe gets drilled deep in the backfield by the linebacker. Somewhere in the stands, peanut utters, “oh, drill me big boy.”

P3: ToBe’s got:

A) jock itch

B) a yeast infection

its a football tobias not a watermelon

tonights numbers on uniform were sponsored by tape depot

P-1: New Nickname: Rodney, the Virus.

P-2: Coach Kim next calls for Forward bass by a Linebacker

P-3: At Halftime, the Milford Dance troupe dresses as Mudlarks to demonstrate the latest Dance sensation, the Hands Off!

Just a note, if a Running Back was standing up straight like that a took a hand off that high he would be practicing hand offs for a week. No wonder Milford is terrible this year

Also, you do not say Blitz the running back. The blitz is to take the QB down and generally you call a defensive play ii.e. “Cobra”

A complete jersey change for Milford- from red pants and no numbers to white pants with numbers on top.

P 2.5 (Kim): “…and knock his d!ck off…oops!…I meant “their”…haha….”

And of course Henry replied to my comment on his writing being the issue we fans have, not the change. And of course his reply was “I disagree”. So, that makes Henry disagreeable. Thoughts? ;-)

Tecmo Bowl had better football graphics than this train wreck

Please move this strip back to black and white. Color is just not working.

It’s great that Rodney is so unstoppable that even a sudden eclipse doesn’t slow him down one bit. And speaking of a bit, can you spare a bit of time to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp?
