Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 04, 2023

Is voting the same as betting? I’m betting not.

Who’s this punk Rogan, I mean “Kogan”. Moon should be all over this upstart, show some respect!

Okay it’s funny to see Luke having gone from Gil’s arch enemy to his hype man. I may miss his supervillanous zeal but I love him now being Gil’s wacky sidekick.

I would have preferred a Rick Bozich cameo. Gil looks freaked out seeing his younger doppelgänger.

First, why did they have a game anyway. Assuming you’re having a game, why don’t you tell the coaches what is happening? And why does Gil assume there is betting going on?

Tune in tomorrow, when none of these questions will be answered. But there will likely be a new set of imponderables.

Football match? Globalist writer!

Are we playing football or futbol?

P 4 (Gil): “… especially since I wasn’t cut in on the action…”

…and does Vito know about this?

Listen here Gil! You’re powerful, but not more powerful than me. You try to take away my livelihood and you’ll find yourself meeting the same fate as John Darling, who crossed me back in 1990.

Yeah Gil, what you said. I believe it’s in poor taste to continue straining credulity in a simple high school sports strip.

Watchers? C’mon Kogan, you’re in the Journalism HOF. Surely you’ve heard the term “viewers” once or twice before in your career.

P3: “…these poor boys. And I use that term loosely.”

Hey, is that Gil’s long-lost brother in P2? Gil doesn’t seem too happy to see him. And speaking of happy, everybody is happy when a new episode of Mopped Up Thorp comes out.

Well of course Vegas had a betting line! This was one of the most anticipated matches of the year!!

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

“I’ve been betting on these poor boys. Big money, too! That’s legal, right?” [Coach Kaz whispers in his ear] “Uh, no further comment, this press conference is OVER, get those cameras OUT OF HERE!”

So, who’s hand was that in P3 yesterday and how did all these people end up on the field after this match?

Note to Gil: Poor Kids that required $150,000 to pay off the damages they caused to society,

P4 “Yas, and because of this happening, these poor boys will not play again until they have their NIL’s – (Inmate) Number, Image and Likeness agreements in place.

This is such a strange story line…

“Then, again, it was a pretty cool idea to let the winners go free while the losers have to double their stretches.”
