    A high school football team has a P.I.O? Apparently they don’t need facemasks anymore, though.

    So few people play Spades anymore, it probably is easy to win a title in it.

    Are those actual coaches headphones on Toe and the gang (even though they usually aren’t wearing them before they get to the sideline)? Nah… probably just matching earmuffs.

    Looks like Coach Kim is walking in from a rugged, jagged mountain range. The tectonic plate shift caused a rise at VT.

    Hankie has completely ignored OLine Coach Boonie. What a waste.

    The refs are going to have a hard time calling penalties, since none of the players have numbers on their uniforms.

    Old technique, media as chronicler of important background information for the audience, setting the stage, in this case not a strawman but good ol’ Marty Moon. For me, it’s another example of the comic strip shifting from emphasis on the kids (with Gil bestowing wisdom at the right moment) to more on the adults, in this case merely a coach for another school. Kim has to prove last-year’s Coach of the Year title? That’s just odd. But, we know Marty’s said a lot of odd things from the booth over the years. Whereas Gil taught us to ignore, we are to see, now, that this matters. I’m just ready for another great MHS/VTHS match-up.If the MHS cheer section starts chanting, “Prove…your…ti,….tle…in…spades. Prove…your…ti,….tle…in…spades,” then it gets real for the boys, girls, and thems. Unless none of them are there because they’re all at the bonfire.

    Valley Tech’s normally the last regular season game. Could someone pass me a schedule?

    PIO? LMAO! Again Henry shows a complete lack of High School sports. And then he’ll blame the readers for not liking his changes, instead of blaming his lack of writing research. I do have to thank Henry for the hashtag though.#Day857ofGilFansHeldHostagebyBadWriting

    Marty, “spades” is no longer the correct nomenclature. It’s African-Americans now.

    From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

    I don’t know why but it infuriates me that Marty is casually dropping “P.I.O.” into his patter. We get it, Marty, you know that they’re called “public information officers” and not “press secretaries” now, you’re very in the know and up to date and yet you still couldn’t convince them to violate HIPAA and tell you what’s wrong with Gil Thorp’s heart and brain, blah blah blah.

    Take a look at This Week in Milford for how yesterday’s strip was essentially a bad copy of one Whigs drew

    I guess Valley Tech traditionally being the last game of the year in every sport goes away when a different coach is the villain. And if Milford sucks this year, beating them won’t prove anything for Coach Kim. But losing to them puts defending his title in jeopardy. And speaking of Jeopardy, the final clue in tonight’s game is, “This parody strip is a must read for all Gil Thorp fans.” What is Mopped Up Thorp?
