Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 01, 2011

That’s quite a ’do on the woman in panel 3. Sort of a modified Hitler look.

BTW, my name is Polecat Fergusen…

Meet the new defensive coordinator.

Somehow I get a feeling Mildcat Waris is going to be Gil’s latest problem.

Looks like the Mudlark football team is taking part in the fashion rage of tube socking.

Only the freshman turned out for practice?

How I long for Hobart already.

Someone PLEASE take this strip away from Rubin and Whigham! It’s HORRIBLE, and I am no longer a reader!

Someone PLEASE tell chadefdstg he or she is an idiot.

“We’re both all-state?” Wow, what a stupid joke, who refers to Roger Maris as all-state? Or themselves for that matter, when they’re middle-aged.

I think that it was supposed to be a stupid joke. Establishing character’s dooshy credentials…

Wildcat Maris better not turn out to be Gil’s latest problem. He’s evidently been a leading booster for many years. It would make no sense for him to start causing trouble at this point.

I would like to thank Wildcat for making me remember that I was once All State too! It was 40 years ago, but now that I remember I can use his joke also. If only my name was Maris. Nevermind. Best to just forget it again. Go Milford!

If he’s such a big booster, why isn’t his name Mudlark Maris? I think he’s a spy from Trimble Tech or Goshen.

P3: Wilt Chamberlain must have used a line 20,000 times to reach the heights of loving bliss.

BikeMike, surely you can find an all-stater named Mike and then make the same joke.

This is a tough crowd. First day of the new storyline and haters all ready.

There must be a new pope, cause there’s white smoke coming from that pizza.

Apparently Gil is ready to punch someone since he is wearing boxing gloves in P3.

Didn’t we read all of today’s strip already? R&W must be taking the day off, or it’s Flashback Tuesday.
