Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 21, 2014

Are they supposed to be stretching in P2 or is this how people sit in Milford?

I know it’s 7-on-7, but do they mean that literally? Are there only seven players on the team? Everyone plays offense and defense?

QB Hale needs to stop stressing about it. He’s going prematurely gray.

Well they really sucked to begin with, so getting better is a dubious accomplishment.

In all reality , Milford is still using the 60s model AFL football . Losing close is OK in Milfotd, just like finishing second is .

Why are they playing on a soccer field?

Jarrod needs to dye his hair blond for the Billy Idol Look Alike Contest later tonight.

Well this sure is an action packed start to the week. Over in MUTland I think this week will be shower-free, can’t overdo it any more than I’ve already done. Sorry, cuttersjock.

I look for John Pascoe to make some noise this year.

“Lost close”….? Is that about the same as finishing tied for second in baseball in the highly competitive Valley Conference? Real high expectations for Milford athetics!

P-3 That’s Gil’s early 70’s haircut. Is Hale really….?

Mop, understood….but, don’t count out Neil and Rod lobbing up a softball that will just beg for another gratuitous shower reference!

P3- We’ve seen this guy before under a different name from a few years ago, I’m sure of it. Maybe from the “tat slap” era?

Looks like Gil’s illegitimate kid from a liaison with a waitress from the Bucket years ago?

p3 – Is that a young Johnny Unitas with glitter tint in his hair? I don’t see any black receivers in this speed drill, so count on second place forever. Gil is going to let Art recruit his players for him when Tru caves in to Coach Gil’s ambivalent, clueless tough love. Mr. Reality, that could even be a rugby ball they found in the back of the defunct tat parlor.

A few more practices and that hair will be completely gray.

Is that Gil in Panel #3. You can’t tell, since Whigman draws everybody the same.

And why doesn’t Neil get Wildcat Harris or Marty Moon in this story. Knowing Rubin, he’ll probably just pad this storyline for another few weeks, then resolve it in his usual idiotic mannter.
