Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for October 05, 2020

Okay, there should be an unlimited number of snarks with the set ups given in panels one and two today. This may break 100 comments.

My first attempt is a flash back to Steve Martin and Bill Murray on the earlier SNL’s with the classic “what the hell is that?” routine for panel one.

Panel-1: Regrettably the game was interrupted by the UFO flying overhead.

In all reality , Milford flanker Curtis Charles exclaims , Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman !

P1, Marty must be so drunk up in the booth he’s taken off his clothes again.

P2, The cornerback gets dizzy and falls to the ground after looking up for so long.

P3, The showers are going to very unpleasant for Terry Rapson.

“Just win baby!” Rapson channels Al Davis and tells Gil he’s throwing deep every play. “Get used to it Coach.” They carry Terry off on their shoulders. A new day in Milford.

Betcha didn’t see that coming. Unless it’s going to come back because of a penalty.

Gil decides that maybe this works…instead of “ Ground Gil” he will go by “Air Thorp”

Now, to really piss Gil off, wave off the kicking team and go for 2. Gil will have to apologize to the other coach even more.

Someone is going to be running many laps after this game. Or wind sprints.

OK, I see what’s coming…Gil benches Terry, but the rebellious QB’s popularity goes through the roof. The Mudlarks lose their next game, and Marty goes on the attack. Gil tells Mimi, “It’s a matter of principle.” Corinna slips into a Mr. Miyagi role with Terry – “no, THIS is how you play the rebel…”

P3- probably the only time #81 Curtis Charles gets the ball all year. He should celebrate like another guy who wore #81.

P1: Charles distracts his opponent.

“Look! A birdie!”

“Ooooh! Where? Where?”

P2: Charles deploys The Green Apple Quickstep ploy and his opponent slips and slides in what remains of yesterday’s sun baked tacos.

P3: Someone on the team calls Gil at the Country Club and tells him about the touchdown.

“Who wants to have some fun? Let’s all stomp our cleats into the smalls of their backs!”

Ha! See my comment from Friday!

UFO sighting in P1. Doing the Hustle in Panel 2. Realizes he is in the wrong end zone in P3

After Vito from Goshen pays off, I’ll be buying at the Bucket. I’ve got my Marty Moon autographed flask full of ‘shine. Vito is not sure what Air Gil will do do the point spread, so he’s got to keep an eye on this kid.

P2: Sure, if “slipping” is caused by the receiver kicking you to the ground and holding you down with your foot. “Someone has to put his foot down….and that foot is me!”…Dean Wormer

P2: Dammit, Ballard, this is no time for a hoedown!

In P2 & P3 Curtis Charles is captured in poses that would made an electric football player envious. Put some Elmer’s on that left hand in P3 and toss him the felt football.

P1 – Worst quarterback ever! That looks like someone throwing a high fly baseball when playing 500.

P2 – Does Milford have anyone coaching the wide receivers? What the hell kind of technique is that? Or is he doing his touchdown dance too early?

And speaking of too early, it’s never too early for Mopped Up Thorp. Even when it’s late in the day.
