Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 15, 2019

The whole student body will be waiting at school with TC banners.

I don’t think anybody here in Canada noticed that the Raptors won on the road…

…Really? This mess is leading to a Championship?

Get out to Milford CC for the Club Championship!

P1, Uh-oh, it’s looking like another 6 weeks before we get to Milford CC while Mimi chases a State Championship.

P2, Finally, a chance to get rid of some of that State Champion Coach Thorp merchandise that’s been clogging up your garage for years.

P3, You only won The Valley. Come back when you bring home the State Championship trophy.

Congratulations on a “Too Cool” Season, I believe this is the first Softball title for Milford.

P3 If they won at home there would have been a least 5 people there instead of the 2 that showed up at Valley Tech.

Does anybody know what happened in Boys Baseball??

“Too bad we won the Valley championship in a rout. We didn’t get to use the Rally Hippo!”

In all reality , now that the Ladies have made the play downs will other activities prevent them from fielding a team ? Will Molly chose to play professional Roller Derby , will Linda choose just to chill and play beach volleyball , inquiring minds want to know !

P1- BKB’s sister Jocelynn has all the makings of a teetering erector set. Does The Cow Judge even attend her daughter’s games?

Did the boys’ team play baseball at all this year? No one noticed. (Well, except for Marty Moon, who needs some excuse to go into his broadcasting crate and drink all afternoon.)

No one noticed their championship — but enough about the American women’s soccer team. Thread still (almost) too weak to peek.

Feel the Flab!

Typical Gil Thorp story, they win the championship but need confirmation from the other students. ???

I’m glad the pitcher and catcher finally got it together.

And just think. If Mimi hadn’t made them read (or pretend to read) “Animal Farm,” none of this would have happened. Can we get a cheer for George Orwell?

I noticed! How about the rest of you?

If these story plots don’t improve, no one will notice this comic strip.

They need to get in a docuseries like Friday Night Tykes with overbearing parents and all to get noticed

The whole world is Happy Boston, Golden State and Valley Tech all lost!

Well this is odd. You have to see the colorized version (which is in MUT), but in P1 a Valley Tech player is signalling in the Milford player! I guess that’s good sportsmanship?

Yeah, won’t we all be shocked on Monday when the whole school is celebrating the victory, with giant posters, etc. I mean, nobody cared enough to actually go to the game, but they’re willing to jump on the bandwagon afterwards.

And speaking of jumping, you can jump for joy that a new edition of Mopped Up Thorpis here: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

Sunday , Happy Father’s Day as an Amazon Drone drops a package on Gil’s front porch. What can this be Gil says as he opens the package. It’s a tee shirt saying Drop Dead Dad , wonder in all reality who it can be from, Mimi .

On to the play downs and let’s keep this story arc going!! I am psyched. Hippo mascot at the school when they get there?
