Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 16, 2024

p3a: “Nobody worry ’bout me…”

So are “his boys” the underage kids on the team? Oy…

What is on Marty’s head? His headset? A hat?

Doesn’t Beth work at Barney’s? Is Perm going to get a second a$$ kicking?

So, Henry thinks it’s comical to push alcohol on an alcoholic. Not funny. This used to be a wholesome, family comic strip. What a shame.

Make new friends, Marty.

He went to my barber, the knucklehead.

Find 10 differences between panels 2 and 3

Where is your sobriety Chip Marty? Strike one. Going to a bar. Strike two. Responses for strike three please.

Calling my shot. The Goshen coach gets killed in an alcohol related crash after the pub.

Aren’t shots served in teeny tiny glasses ???

As an AA coin-carrying member myself, going into a bar, even if you are only planning on drinking water, is a huge Bozo no-no. Marty should’ve told Gerards to get ’effed when he was pressed into joining him. Now Marty has seen enough and should tell him “call me when you are ready”.

…and take his car keys.

It would be more accurate to say Milford didn’t score at all. And why the h.e. double hockey sticks would Marty even go to the bar?

Have one for every player on your team.

He’s asking for another shot in the gut, physically.

ahh…. How can you only have one?

By “My boys” and “Darby,” Coach clearly refers to Darby’s Rangers, which means a special guest appearance from the late James Garner!

marty can get out of this when gil lands his plane in the parking lot

stupid marty should have went with tays he could have got a lap dance

Are there other people there? Or does he consider Marty “his boys”, which would be really weird. I’m mean, he’s signaling for only two drinks. And speaking of signals, this is a signal that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

How about an ice cold HooDad at the Bucket?

Wait a minute. I thought they were going to “THE Barney’s Pub.”

Another round of Trainwreck Beers for the Snark Team.

P1- ….or a field goal or a safety. It’s called a shutout.

0-14 or 14-0, however you score it Nonads, it was hardly a blowout and therefore a joke. It appeared to be a close game between two evenly matched teams, good for what? Fourth? Third? Maybe for the coveted second in the Valley?

Is that Beth behind the bar (even without moving between P2 and P3) or not?

Speaking of drinking after a game, the White Sox once took Babe Ruth out on the town in Chicago and fed him enormous amounts of booze, thinking that he would be too hung over to be effective in the game the next day. This strategy backfired, of course, as the Babe hit three HRs and had 5 RBIs in the NYY win over the Sox. After the game ended, the Babe ran over to the Sox dugout and said “hey fellas’!…where are we goin’ tonight?…”. True story…haha…

Somebody mention a trainwreck. If your reading this trainwreck. How about an ice cold Train Wreck Beer. Train Wreck Beer goes down good with any train wreck. Even this comic. Also Train Wreck Beer has been known to go down well while listening to the local TRACK GAME on the radio. So be good to yourself and treat yourself to a ice cold Train Wreck Beer or 36. The new count for Team Rebellious is 36 members. Snark Long, Snark Proud!!!!

Worth repeating…. #Day887ofGilThorpFansHeldHostagebyBadWriting
