Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 24, 2014

Lucky took the coaching advice to keep his eye on the ball a bit too literally.

So the ball is going to bounce over his head. Instead of stabbing at it with his glove, he has time to straighten his whole body from a crouch and get hit in the eye. He’s not unlucky, he’s just stupid.

But at least his father is a dead ringer for Pa Kent, so he gets points for that.

Another week of practice and he’ll be in a full body cast. Is this going to turn into a “Mr. Bill” (from SNL) story line? “Ohhh nooooo!”

Congradulations Terry928. You called it Saturday with the two black eyes prediction. Lucky will keep the team loose as long as he’s healthy enough to stay out of the hospital. With that raccoon face, I wonder if he’s fast and can steal a base….after a HBP. CheezeWhiz, that stands for Hit by Pitch in baseball terms.

No way, he’ll keep getting more black eyes all season. Still wondering how he got a full shiner just from banging into a small cabinet door. Extremely sensitive skin.

Looks like it’s going to be a long baseball season.

Just saying….. I called it yesterday.

In all reality, Lucky was named after his uncle Lucky Luciano. Uncle Lucky is going to pay Kaz a visit for blackening his nephews eye. Kaz will be nicknamed Lefty after Uncle Lucky gets through with him.

Are his parents going to be (wrongly) charged with child abuse?

and the laughs just keep coming. Instead of a Racoon, maybe he’ll don a pair of Wendy’s leotards and be Robin to Kaz’s “Batman”. Oh, ha ha he he, Neil loves puns

This strip has truly passed into the realm of the unbelievable.

Milford has an evening paper?

This is the Jan Brady glasses storyline. Lucky gets his vision corrected and becomes the greatest BB player in Milford history.

He has a Frank Gorshen look to him, a.k.a. The Riddler.
