Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for January 15, 2021

Another Ohio school, I guess that is the featured state for this season.

Good job Vic. Alert the refs to Irby’s propensity for throwing elbows and guarantee he fouls out quickly. And speaking of throwing elbows, you don’t need to throw elbows to get inside Mopped Up Thorp.

What in the what? Is Marcell stepping over a sideline balance beam?

Look at those floors! Mopman is on his game, P2 the ants show their respect by walking on the lockers and attempting to form a sign of respect and admiration above them. In addition to Vic’s crowd-igniting PA work, the gym shiny, slippery floor is Milford’s other “secret weapon” for keeping the home floor advantage, at least until conference play begins

P2: Enter Vic’s sideline reporter and probable love interest. What was “fairly painless”? P3: Maumee arrives, coached by George Cooper. Big M cooking up more elbow macaroni.

P3 I think R & W messed up cuz I think that is GilPa not Marcell running onto the court!!!

P3 Vic, you forgot to mention the 50 steroid induced pounds that Marcell put on in your introduction

Is Vic holding a hypodermic needle in P1? Diabetic also? Or maybe he’s the one injecting Marcell, like Jose Canseco claims he did to Mark McGwire

In all reality , the look on # 22 ’s face of Maumee says WTF !

Marcell Irby has been replaced by Cortez Beecher in P3 with GilPa’s noggin. Vic really did his homework at Perrysburg. In order to get to the gym, he needed the Perrysburg address.

Vic is studying the weekly line from Vito from Goshen. Now that he’s an insider, he’s come up with a great idea on how to finance a new van. Just cover the spread Gil!

I assume the vertical lines on the floor in P3 are supposed to be reflections because Mopman has done such a great job keeping them shiny. But what are the lines on the far left of that panel supposed to be reflecting? There’s no comparable vertical line in the wall of padding behind the basket. And why aren’t all of the lines in the padding reflected on the floor?

P1, Breakfast of champions.

P2, Not for the readers it wasn’t, One And Done girl.

P3, If Vic’s overenthusiasm for Marcel’s elbow problems causes him to foul out, Gil may make Vic scream for his Maumee.

@BrownStarfish Nailed it!

Gil must be mad at the Mopman and have him working the night shift. Mopped up appearing at Midnight is unusual.

C’mon Vic…..aren’t you supposed to also say height and year? e.g " at 6’8" , senior Marcell Irby…" Don’t put nicknames and silly little comments before facts

P 2.5: “…..sorry…. I wish it was bigger….”

Eight elbows?! All Randy Savage needed was one to claim a victory.

Vic is wisely using his study time to calculate some advanced stats. "And with eight points, seven assists, two steals, and three encouraging hand slaps to the floor, Charlie “Ruh” Roooooooh!!!"

Marcell “the black octopus” Irby
