Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 03, 2013

It is just me, or is the phrase “or are Omari” a tongue-twister?

I just realized that I keep reading this strip because I’m dead and this is my eternal punishment.

Troy Costello is a dead ringer for Spike, the bully who was always after Sluggo in the Nancy comic strip.

Gil Thorp in “Too Many Troys”…

No, no..it’s not you….it’s me.

Mix the Troy’s in with the gymnast and the Mute and let the fun begin! I see the first game being played mid-November.Jaimie T.

Roll call. Big John, The Troys, Chip Visci, Terry Gallagher, Angie Sanchez and Chip’s girlfriend. Brody Albro in a minor role. Marty’s face time is gonna be limited.

Have a hunch that Pascoe’s communication preference may soon become throwing around players from the offense like rag dolls.

In all reality, is Kaz still plaing the role of Danny Zucco in Grease at the Milford Tent Summer Theather ? His hair style in P 1 suggests that he is. Gotta love the spit curl.

Didn’t we just recently have a problem with part of the team mouthing off and bragging all the time? Couple of seasons ago. If only there was someone that would let his play do all the talking.

The coach that dies with the most Troys wins !

Looks like Kaz is getting excited for football, or is it just the cozying up to Gil.

P1: We learn the Troys talk too much.P2: Apparently, the Troys talk too much.P3: It is revealed that the Troys talk too much.

How the plot thickens.

Omari Troy and Troy Costello. Remember those names in that order Gil fans because that will be an Alex Trebek answer on Jeopardy one of these days. The clue in the before and after category will be: These two broken-nose, trash talking offensive lineman headlined a forgettable 2012 Fall storyline in the Gil Thorp strip.

Big Silent One is going to knock some Quiet into them when Gil gets him on the squad, or else he’s going to be a huge Cheerleader Mime.

miffedmax and Gilfan79 tie for best comment of the day! Despite 2012/13 typo.

Is anybody actually going to pay money in six months to ready this?

Pascoe is either Chief from “Cuckoo’s Nest” or Samson from “Longest Yard.”“I think I broke his f#$%in’ neck!”

And the soundtrack will be Aerosmith’s “Troys in the Attic”.

My comments are not banter or snark. They are observations of excessive silliness. Whoever draws this strip doesn’t learn.

I haven’t called anyone a poopy-head, yet. But if you want poor taste, I can do it.

Spike appears in this strip, assuming the link works: http://derrickbostrom.com/wp-content/pg51/nancy.jpg

I think everyone needs to “ease up pal”. While I haven’t posted as long as most of you, I’ve read the comments for a long time. It’s all in good fun. For instance, there have been comments about the thumbs up and the knuckles not lining up. But have you ever tried making a thumbs up sign with huge hands??? We should not comment on her looks because I think she’s really, really, REALLY super nice. Now let’s all have subwich sandwich or head down to the bucket.

Ut oh, Costello, John “Pokomoko” Pascoe is coming your way.

JPuzzleWhiz your pedantic responses to obviously joking commentary is also getting tiresome. You are free to ignore these comments if they are that much of a burden on your enjoyment.

Try cutting and pasting the link, and it should work. Links in these comments can never simply be clicked on, for some reason.

In all reality, its Sept 4 is this strip stuck in a time warp ?

The Sept 3 strip drew such strong ratings, they decided to keep it up for 2 days!J. Berill

Today’s strip since it’s missing. and in color! http://www.jsonline.com/comics/32402404.html?feature_id=Gil_Thorp
