Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 07, 2025

Incredible panel 1! Love the motion!

OMG, the artwork in panel 1 is terrible. Is Rachel trying to show motion?

Leo needs to see someone about that dislocated right wrist.

Panel 2: Go Go Gadget Arm!

Leo’s carpal tunnel hasn’t affected his shooting.

Was there a sale on #7 unis?

OMG !!! Can the artwork—-especially in P 1 —-get any worse ??? Yes, it can !!!!!!

Men among boys. These guys are all in their 30’s

What’s worse than 1 ToBe? 4 ToBes.

Why are there a bunch of Lego Mini Figs watching the game from a jury box in panel 1?

This is Gil Thorp 2025

The writing doesn’t matter, but the art also doesn’t matter.

Artist continues to use uniform numbers not allowed in HS basketball (7, 89 for ex.)

Panel 1: “Begun, these Clone Games have…”

Tough shooting jumpers with a broken wrist.

P2- Rodney Barnes. High School athlete. Smalltime vape dealer. Yute Center graduate. NBA prospect, allegedly. Enjoy HS Rod. Glory days.

P1: A special seating section just for Blockheads?

P 3: Leo shoots an air ball under an over-sized net.

backhanded shot for two

Let’s see, 4 ToBe x 3 = 12 points.

“From the midrange”?

1/7/25 a momentous day in GT history: The block head family is introduced.

#DontFeedTheTroll

P1- Nobody shoots a three like that unless it’s a running last-second shot at the end of a half.

P2- Did Rod burst through that wall? Nothing can stop him today!

P3- Leo is home, home on the mid-range.

panel two THING trys to stop rods shot

i know racheal is too young to know this but there was a cartoon called the impossibles which featured a charecter called multiman which could do that panel one stuff all day

OK, in what universe would Rodney be allowed to be back playing for a HS team after registering to play for even a minor league? Henry? Barajas? Barajas?

Is Rod wearing a Rollerball jersey?

I guess, nobody on the other team plays defense as they are not in any of the panels.

Jonathon E meet Rodney B. Tokyo! Tokyo! Tokyo. Keep those micro disco biscuits away from Moonpie. Perry King not Marty.

P2: A cobra tries to block his shot.

Oh geez, look at that net in P3. How embarrassing. It’s all stretched out on the bottom, and it has a rip in it. It’s looks like a stripper’s fishnet shorts. I should have replaced that before the season started. And speaking of started, if you haven’t already, it’s time you started reading Mopped Up Thorp.

1-0… Here’s hoping for a loss in the next game so we can once again look at fifth place.
