Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 02, 2018

Who’s got nicer hair, Pelwecki or Dafonte?

P1, Gil, being diplomatic, refrains from telling his big power hitter that he’s not good enough or smart enough to get a scholarship.

P2, Now Moose will strike out every at-bat for the next month trying too hard to hit the ball out on every pitch.

P3, I’m hoping ace investigative reporter Double D finds out it was her dad who was driving the pickup truck on that fateful night. Inquiring minds need to know.

In all reality , P 1 Thanks for the advice Coach but Ricky Soto’s Uncle Gary advised me to sign a pro contract with the Central City Fence Busters ,I got a $250 signing bonus . I’m on my way to the Bigs . No more techers, no more books , no more coaches dirty looks. See Ya !

Bro-fist? Gil is certainly keeping up with the time.

Gil is 100% right about Baseball Scholarships – and still people keep chasing them, spending thousands for 100’s of dollars.

This should be on all the news networks and not just on a weekly school newspaper.

11.7 scholarships are available per Division I school. When you have a roster of 35 guys, the coaching staff gets creative helping with grants, academic financial aid, housing subsidies, etc.. A full baseball scholarship for a student athlete is unheard of. That aid could sustain 3 to 4 players. Could Moose be on the juice thanks to Jarvis White?

I hope the Bader household doesn’t have any murder guns.

Moose should go for a college football scholarship as a quarterback

I love the cute, flirty look Gil is giving Moose.

Hmmm…. what kind of ‘potted’ plant might the Gil Pa be growing in the window sill? (visible just above dialog balloon in panel two)
