Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 27, 2016

I guess the team didn’t really care about Boo.

Me and you and a stiff named Boo, travelin’ and livin’ off the land …

If those 12 runs represent 36 bases awarded to batters whom Carrie hit, then the tribute to Boo was appropriate.

Nice of Jefferson to wear black ribbons on their black uniforms. Of course the bigger tribute was the team wearing basketball uniforms in tribute to Boo’s last game.

Quick way to get story line over, move on to Gil’s summer job. Isn’t he a golf instructor?

Forget the comic strip, the Sunglass Hut ad right under it is a nightmare. Anyone else have this woman sticking her face in the screen?

In all reality , the folks at the Milford Funeral Home and Milford Meadows Cemetery continue their wait for Boo’s parents visit . Speaking of visitors , Bitsy Twill awaits the arrival of her niece Nancy Drew who she hopes will solve The Case of the Missing Pickup and It’s Driver.

Considering there’s no bag in P2, I assume the runner is sliding into the cuttoff man, er, I mean girl. Playing dirty must be Jefferson’s tribute to Boo.

Carrie should have thrown one pitch left-handed like Bo Kimble did after Hank Gathers died.

Well, at least we know George and Weezy will have those uniforms spotlessly clean for the season opener.

Wrap up the boys Baseball season. I hear Snagglepus, “Exit, stageright..”

@Ravenswing: Bravo! Well played!

With all the sucess of things like Sharknado, Preacher, etc. We need a surprise ending. In the final three cells: We find the funeral service is an ancient Aztec ritual; Barry Bader is tied to the altar; after ripping out his heart, the body is kicked down the grand staircase. Readership soars!

Alright, nothing to see here. No playdowns for Mimi. Now a quick kiss and makeup between Big Ken Brown and Tru(e) with Young Master Bader, Grand Master Bader goes to jail, the pickup remains a mystery, Tru(e) goes off to Wake Forest and Boo’s name is never mentioned again. Next week, on to Milford CC.

I think Lamont Sanford was driving the pickup truck.

I guess Mimi’s motivational speech to “Win one for the Boo-ser” didn’t quite go over well.

“There’s no crying in Softball!”

Well today’s Mopped Up Thorp is a 7 panel bonanza. I had thought about doing a one-time Sunday strip this week for an idea I had featuring Marty and Tru(e). I decided to just mesh it in with today’s regular strip. Hope you like it!

Why would you slide in shorts? Didn’t any of these girls see “A League of Their Own”?
