Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 25, 2020

He looks like Joel Osteen in P3.

Mopped up Thorp arrives early today, without Mop even having to do anything.

P3: Sounds like a cheesy B movie title. OK, C movie. Would you believe D?

Hey Terry there’s no I in team, and there’s only one P in rap, for shizzle.

P1 I thought it was more than a “scoot” to get home from Oakwood. Isn’t it pretty far away from Milford??

P4: But enough about Jimmy Garoppolo. Rapp song “Put Me In Coach” is Pick Hit of the Week in today’s WDIG Friday Countdown Show. Here’s Marty.

In all reality , P 1 , looks like Terry has his game face on, P 2 his sad face and P3 his mad face.

P2: Be happy Rapp, or I’ll Rapp you on the side of yo head with my giant hand.

Okay, Milford is weak in receivers and we’re not sure about the ability of either quarterback at passing. You’d think Gil would be working harder on that issue rather than sending out postcards to opposing teams saying, “We’ve only got a running game.”

P1, Gil finally shows up just in time for the showers. Terry isn’t quite clear on the concept of masks in the age of Covid. No, a Halloween mask is not okay.

P2, Don’t worry, be happy.

P3, Mopman, meet your apprentice.

It looks like Marty’s wrinkle is catching.

P3: I was awaiting for this breakthrough for years. Up until now, robots were limited to playing air hockey and table tennis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_qN3dgYGqE

P 2.5: “…F*** off, skippy…”

P4: Gil peeks his head in and tells Rapp that until he cares more about the Mudlarks than himself he’ll always play clean up. The good news is with a Milford education it’s job training for the future: “Clean up-isle 6!” (No offense Mop)

Storyline Twist: Gil forgot to tell the QBs that the plan is to alternate starters until one shows he’s that much better than the other. Too bad Rapp quit before Monday’s practice.

Milford beats Oakwood handily and no post game handshake with former GilPa assistant and Oaks coach Tod Andrews? Tod was the main reason Gil used to be a great coach.

T Rap may be a 4th qtr. mop-up QB but he’s got his sights set on the larger prize – CK’s main squeeze.

So what was the final score?After all that scooting and mopping.

Joel Osteen in panel three?

Yeah, Rap(p) can’t wait until he gets his chance and floats a game-losing pick-six!

Is Gil going to make the team drag their butts all the way back to Milford?

P 3- If Terry gets his right eye fixed, maybe Gilpa will let him air it out.

I saw this in All the Right Moves. A team will play goal line defense the entire game and take away Milford’s running game. Then we’ll see if the robot quarterback can throw the ball.

This is actually ok for once

I’m sorry, are you using “mop-up” in a derogatory fashion? Mopping up is an HONORABLY PROFESSION! You’ll be lucky to do so well after you graduate. If you even graduate.

And speaking of graduating, if you’d like to graduate to a higher level of humor, then you are ready to read Mopped Up Thorp.
