Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 13, 2024

Next up: Etiquette classes from Draymond Green.

Pull a gun on them!

How did he get the two-tone sunroof in P3?

Luke tries to recover from the Moe Howard eye poke.

Have we finally established a story arc for the basketball season? Two dysfunctional coaches trying to help one another?

P4: “Give them the Jerry Jeff Walker treatment – take one or two steps backward and drop kick them in the crotch.”

Just turn in your man card and leave right now, Nonads.

Love, Respect or Fear…the only three motivators that work and usually two of the three are at work together.

There are no teachers or coaches who talk like this… C’mon, man.

I was hoping for Tony Soprano rather than Luke

“Welcome to Coach Luke’s Alpha Male Training Camp. By the time you’re through, we’ll BOTH want to crush the Gilbot!”

If Coach Nonads Gerads is the Goshen basketball coach, who’s supervising their practices while he attends BHHLHM’s School of Machismo? Only one who could help this comic character is Randy Savage.

Uhm, if this is Coaching 101-Man Up(note Nonads sitting in a student desk ???), shouldn’t there be something on the poster-board to help hammer home the message ? Doesn’t sitting in an office having coffee like 2 grown-ups(alleged) make more sense ? But, alas, that would require better script writing. And that ain’t happenin’ here anytime soon.

The name is Gerad not Gerards

This train wreck is becoming more laughable by the day. The writer ought to consider a career in standup comedy.

Repeat after me Gerads: I’m big enough, I’m strong enough, and doggone it, people like me

P4:

Gonads: “Can I go home now? I need to go home and watch Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl.”

Luke: [Slaps Gonads across the face] “PRO FOOTBALL IS WOKE! HEY, I’M CURED! GET OUT OF HERE, NANCY BOY! I’M OFF TO KILL GIL!”

P-4: If it comes down to that, you can tell their parents on them.

If this actually is a storyline and not just a 5-day non sequitur, we may find out that Gonads is suffering from PTSD because he saw the Zamboni fall through the ice last season as he snapped the team photo. “Say cheese [CRACK, SPLASH!]”

P-1: Being a polite person, Henry posts a disclaimer on what you are about to read.

P-2: IRONY WARNING: Man standing at 20th Century flip board, tells student, sitting at school desk, that the desk occupier is the authority figure.

P-3: Hey everybody, they put a personification of the blog right in the strip.

Meet at the flagpole after school and settle it.

Good thing that No-gnads isn’t on the juvie staff. He’d be the girlfriend for the entire cell block.

This is such a ridiculous story line that words of snark have literally failed me.

(Look at that. I bounced back.)

Luke should get his resume ready for that head coach position at Goshen.

“You give them a count of 3, and then headbutt them on 2.” —Jack Reacher

Even Jami is tougher than this guy

I am 5’8". I had a successful career as a police officer. It’s all about attitude and presence. And if they get me, they have to contend with my brothers (and sisters.) This guy should have jammed that kid up from the time it happened.

P 3 (Luke thought bubble): “….and I thought that Gil was the biggest wuss coach that I ever saw…”

hold on gerads im gonna paint a landscape maybe ill let you add some little trees

gerads i didnt tell you to marry a lady weightlifter get use to washing dishes ill give you a number to someone you can bond with

if gil dont give me a raise for talking to this fruitcake hes gonna get a pink belly from me and pedro

P3- (Nonads): “…….Should I just give ’em the finger?”

P4: Then you pull out your switchblade

Look you sniveling p##sy .In all reality , it’s time to cowboy up ! Start with terminating their families starting w their grandparents and work your way down. Show them no mercy!But wouldn’t it be nicer for me to ask Henry just to write me out of this comic strip ?

“Oh, Brother”? That’s my reaction every day reading this ever-worsening writing.

What’s Luke gonna’ use that whiteboard for? To draw stick figures of no-nads kicking kids’ a$$es?

Dude they suckered him in the gut. He’s a normal guy physically, you have abs for days. This goes beyond respect and into reporting them for assault

I think Kenny G fell asleep in P2, and was startled awake in P3. Embarrassing when you only have one student and you can’t keep them awake. And speaking of awake, while you’re still awake, you should check out today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

P2-“…repeat after me. My name is Elmer Fudd. I own a mansion and a yacht…”

Just turn in your Man card coach.

Agree, just don’t want you to think I stepped on you
