Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 17, 2024

Is anyone counting how many sharks have been jumped?

See that guy over there? He slugged Coach Perm.

Compare this to Denzel Washington taking HIS team to Gettysburg.

It’s a Domed Stadium

An indoor athletic facility for local deviant yutes?

Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion

I was soaring ever higher but I flew too high

Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man (tribute to Hamm)

Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man

I hear the voices when I’m dreaming

I can hear them sayyyy.

Milford team is like, “These guys get an indoor practice facility and we practice in the rain?” Then Gil informs them that the practice facility doubles as a dorm.

Someone is going to get strangled with the whistle cord.

Moral of the visit…offenders live better than some of you and anyone from the rez.

P 4 (Gilly): “… oh! …. And look out for shanks from those guys…”

Fweet! painted on the wall suggests that the indoor facility is a gift of the wealthy Fweet! family.

well now we know where crankshaft is !!!!

if any of you guys get out of hand theres plenty of books to read ask tobe

we need you guys to sign these waivers because draft queens is filming this

You can’t see it, but Red has steel wool loofahs in P3. Orange had better be pretty strong on defense.

Red Grange is leading the offense? And Anthony Orange, the Canadian football cornerback is leading the defense? Gil has so many connections! And speaking of connections, you don’t need any connections to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

P1 The wheels on the bus go round and round – LOOK OUT MR REALITY!

Let’s give some credit to Henry for acknowledging in P1 and P2 that he’s recycling stuff and mailing it in

P4- "But Coach, we’re all in our street clothes.’

“And some of you may spend some time here.”

Gotta love a coach with such unconcealed low expectations for his team.

Red Offense, Orange Defense? Not very contrasting colors Always had White on one side and color jersey or contrasting cover on the other.

Nice pep talk from the coach. “Many of you are lowlifes and criminals. And some I’m sure are very good people.”

Better get used to these bars, Uncle Joey.
