Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 13, 2012

Coach Thorp! I can’t hear you! You’ll have to speak up!

Does’t Gil ever do any coaching himself? As if a few quick pointers would be enough to play football.

P2- Where did Sir Terry get that facemask, from the 1957 bin? I think Ol’ Gil will put him where he needs him, much like Bobby Boucher. Noww…what will he use for tackling fuel?

Hurling. Donovan McNabb could coach him on that.

I just kew it> Terry is probably All British Isles and on a Championship Junior Rugby team

And suddenly Gil sees a way to crawl out of the bottom of the conference and improve on that 1-8 record last year. Watch out soccer team, there could be two Milford teams in the playdowns this Fall (assuming, of course, that Mimi and the volleyball team remain missing this season).

P1…and Hamani Gaines is preparing to:

a) show Terry his best dance move b) engage in some impromptu Greco-Roman c) dive on the quarter that fell out of Thorp’s pocket

Plus, notice Terry with hands on his hips, he already has learned the fine art of taunting.

P2…Gil looking more like Dr. Oz today….

Is there any particular reason Thor P sent him to Shaw and not me? It’s not like I had anything to do all summer while he was getting Steve-O to shave, and then he brings him on as an unpaid coach??? Sorry, I have a lot to get off my chest. Send Mickey to me.

Easy, Gil, you’re salivating.

The kid’s a natural linebacker I tell you. Start those recruiting visits to Happy Valley, Oops,er, never mind.

He kicked off then played golf?

bearwku82, all Milford equipment comes out of the 1957 bin. It’s always 1957 in Milford.

@Graden, I can’t imagine anyone yelling what Gil is yelling across a football field. But I hope they save that drawing and recycle it sometime. It would be perfect for Gil in the stands at one of Mimi’s games, heckling the officials.

P3: RIIIICOOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Somebody get this poor coach a headset.

P3: Now watch my Tarzan imitation. Anyone have some kudzu I can climb on?

@titus, that’s classic!

Coach Kaz. Go to the locker room and get Terry some football pants. Those bike shorts he’s wearing in P-1 are going to have Mimi coming out of the stands.
