Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 11, 2023

The Return on Gregggg Hammmm? Clearly, someone has been listening!

“No, I just meant I have some ham in the fridge. You hungry?”

Gil doesn’t know how to coach pitchers? What a fraud!

“… he’s so good, that I bet he could teach a blind man to pitch…”

The Greg Hamm storyline is proof that the previous author was sometimes as bad as the current one. (But at least he understood sports.)

Apparently weed is legal in Milford, as Bob and Gil step out on the terrace to enjoy a fattie. They have to be totally buzzed to think Greggg “Mr. Magoooo” Hammmm is the answer in their quest for second in the Valley. Today’s strip would have been more appropriate on April 20th.

The Cami and Hammy show

Vito from Goshen just raised the number of batters Milford pitchers will hit this season, one of many prop bets for your entertainment. Get in on the action!

Guess True or Larry Cutter weren’t available so Kaz is a genius to propose Hamm help the pitchers. Once Coach Meat, always Coach Meat. At least former girlfriend Kelly made him somewhat respectable.

Kaz has a penthouse, but still has to steal ashtrays from bars?

Gil has a hard time remembering the last panel let alone 11 months ago.

Four more months saying Gregggg Hammmm’s name. Yas!

He’s a Pitching Wizard, there’s gotta be a catch(er)

a Pitching Wizard, I think I’m gonna wretch…

I don’t know. I just can’t see it.

Kaz is really livin’ the life off of his new girlfriend…penthouse, smokin’ cigars…

Hammmmm: “I’ve been trying to teach ToBe the cutter but he was pretty non-responsive.”Gil: “Greggggg, you’ve been coaching the light post again.”

P 4 (Gil): “… it’s perfect since I heard that he’s still in the school somewhere… he never found his way out last year…”

And maybe some eggs.

P1- …..But sometimes they disappear for an hour or two.

P2- Boney’s Pub? Is that a gay bar?

P3- I don’t think that wooden railing is up to code, but I’m sure Meemaw would enjoy the view.

Greggg will help the pitchers sharpen their control by conducting exercises where they pitch blindfolded. And Gil will bring Meemaw to watch it, from behind home plate.

Is hiring Greggg going to cause problems with the outfielder on the girl’s softball team? Hmmm, stay tuned for more adventures in “Culture Wars of Milford”!

Who better to spot flaws in the pitchers’ deliveries than a blind kid? I thought we were done with all the extra consonants in names after Gregggg Hammmm left, but here we go again. And speaking of again, it’s time to read Mopped Up Thorp again.
