Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for November 22, 2024

You know what I wasn’t expecting? Not the pass to Butterfingers the tight end. That was telegraphed yesterday.

I wasn’t expecting VT’s uniforms to stay orange and yellow all game, without turning Carolina Blue at some point. Nice work, colorists.

Gosh! Where to start? P1—-“fires off”? Receiver is 5 yards away.P2—-falling down nobody around ? Turf monster? P3—-“seals the deal”? It’s a one-score game !!!!As long as there’s time on the clock game ain’t over ! Anybody remember “Heidi”???Patrick Mahomes with 13 seconds left !!!!

There are no Milford players visible, so clearly, they must have left due to a curfew or something. Uncertain, then, as to the pass play when there’s no defender anywhere. Shoulda just run it in.

Is it mandatory to dive into EZ to score now?

Echoes of the sculpture of Alberto Giacometti in today’s art, or am I the only one to feel that way… Am I the only one who reads this who knows who Alberto Giacometti is?

Somewhere Coach Drool is misty mouth with emotion over this colossal victory. Gil’s only concern is where are his graham crackers and chocolate milk?

Just like when Pedro “sealed the deal” with Peanut.

Great, now that the football game is done, let’s get back to Keri’s storyline.

Everyone falls into the end zone. Goal line must be 6 inches high!!!!

Does this mean Luke is going to hold a grudge for the next 25 years?

I don’t think the art can get any worse

panel 3 i didnt know buckwheat went to valley tech

was the milford team doing a chinese firedrill while this play was going on

Is there a site that has old Gil Thorp comic strips?

They must have a lot of earthquakes in Milford. Every play at least one player is falling on their face. And speaking of face, it’s time to face the fact that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

Rachel finally saw some football but it was flag football. And what’s with the gray in the back of his helmet? Same thing yesterday.

Coach Kim just sealed the deal on his second consecutive Coach of the Year award. Best wishes in the playdowns to Valley Tech. Now, at Milford, on to track season.

Well, it looks as though Gil will have to shave and return to beat Coach Gerads (unless one of Gerads’s players beats him to it) and make Milford great for used cars again!

Maybe the kid Gil brought in from the jail will kick Gerard a$$ just for old times sake when goshen plays Milford…(snicker)

Interesting that the QB in P1 and receiver in P2 don’t have face masks.
