Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 10, 2020

My dog likes to be scritched under the chin like that too

What a Kumbaya finish to this lame story!!! What a nice thing to do, turn the job of running out the clock to your new pal!!!

“GilPa, he also seeing things that you have missed all year.”

“Terry, take the job.” “But Coach, we coulda been a contender.”

Flashback to the running back summit GilPa held with Mr. Blow Top and Rut Roh. What did that do except provide panel filler. My eyes are getting misty, sniff, sniff. Dang you GilPa! You made me feel again.

Pretty amazing she can stop watching the rear end of linesman and pick that up from the stands. Wonder if Marty Moon, who is paying less attention to tight pants on guys, will also notice.

After seeing Will’s bold yellow/black hairdo in the color version, and his sensitive deferring to Rap, I think Will may be thinking he’s better off with some pom- poms on the sidelines.

So, The Mayor gets kicked out of school, just so we can introduce AwfulGirl™, who then proceeds to bring balance to the Force? (These guys actually get paid to write this crap…?!)

P3- Susan’s mustache gives her a distinguished look, like Errol Flynn or Clark Gable. No, not the Clark Gable from the show Cheaters.

In all reality , P3 ,It’s a Christmas Miracle that came early , I prayed to my special angel that brotherhood , peace and love with goodwill to all would find its way to the football team. Wow Corina , Thanks !

Perhaps Rapson’s the grandchild of Louis Ciccone, formerly of the Toronto Gazette. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67vDFxVyoRk

If they’re just going to run out the clock, do they really need to “see things” in the opposing defense? It sounds as if they want to run up the score again. That way, when they win second place in the conference, they can appeal to the Valley Supreme Court and demand that they be declared champions, because they deserved it more. Bring in Hadley V. Baxendale!

C- on the hand drawing in P3 . Not even sure who it belongs to.

P1, Are they playing in Tilden’s cafeteria? What’s with the windows?

P2, Let Rapson take a knee three times.

P3, For the first time ever Corina smiles. She must be listening to Marty’s drunken attempt to broadcast the game.

and, ….play the Scooby Doo end of episode music as Corina has solved the mystery of the competing QBs

Unfortunately, with how this dumb story is wrapping up as well as how Whigum is making CK look less manly lately means that she isn’t going anywhere for a while

So, Thorp screws up once again. CK OTOH was 100% right when she sent the text to Mimi. And Thorp, being a total asshat, just dismissed her as being a HS kid, and therefore knowing nothing.

Tell you what, the writing on this strip has gotten worse since the original cartoonist departed.Used to be that Thorp was the smart guy. Now, he appears to be the most clueless guy in the entire strip.

This story arc being by far the worst.

Tomorrow: Rapson proves some people never change. He calls a swing pass that’s intercepted for a pick six and Milford finishes third.

What’s going on down there? Well honey if you don’t know I’m sure your local pharmacist can sell you this product I think it’s called Rite? It comes in the six pack party pack and by the case.

Please pass the barf bag. This change of attitudes is just SO realistic. Even The Brady Bunch would have rejected this plot. And you mean to tell me the girls way up in the stands can tell what is going on at the bench? I’d say maybe she’s a lip reader, but their backs are to the stands. Unless it’s so quiet, and there are so few people there that the voices on the field are easily heard.

And speaking of voices, use your voice to spread the word, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is here!

This is insane. Even I know that no teenage quarterback ever said no to playing time. Those kids are dying to get out on the field.
