Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 05, 2025

Apparently the Goshen Gophers are tougher than the Owls.

Spin the wheel….see what the storyline will be today. If you don’t like it, don’t worry. It will change in a day or two.

Why does Gil ALWAYS have an alpha wannabe a$$hole on the team to often wreck the season? Like EES, entitlement and arrogance have run rampant in Milford for decades.

On this day in Gil Thorp History: 03/05/1978

Tod: Are you suggesting that Ernie wasn’t really sick last night?

Gil: I don’t know…..but he made certainly made a rapid recovery

Gil: Ernie is only 5’ 4" tall but has a 7’ 2" ego.

Gil: It’s possible he wanted to remind us how valuable he is to the team

Tod: Well…if he did…he made his point

Gil: Yes…and I think he learned an unhappy lesson, too!

P2: Rod may have had a case of EES, but we’ll never see it with those usnglasses.

Looking at P2, I think Rod is all set for the NBA. The dude is stylin’!

panel 2 is rod ready to sing superstion ?

did gil take the buget for benches for the lockeroom and just have people donate old living room tables for players to sit on ?

10-to-1 he’s listening to Tony Robbins.

P-1 & 2: To prove we’re in the present, Henry gets to use a DMS reference, then to add to our confusion we see earphones instead of Buds, and Foster Grants instead of Oakleys.

P-3: Number 7 appears to be a new character, Rapunzel! While, Achoo may have new shoes, but he couldn’t afford a pair with tread on the sole. Now, available at Shoe Carnaval.

P1- I don’t think a kid would ask “Have you spoken to him?” unless he’s practicing his Shakespeare. I think he would just ask “Did you talk to him?”.

Where’s peanut these days? Shovelin’ horse apples? (her horse therapist girl has convinced her/them/it that it’s the best way to deal with emotional issues).

Goshen? Ooh, must be the long awaited return of Coach Nonads. And speaking of return, take a minute to read today’s edition of Mopped Up Thorp. Then return right here.

If Henry let’s me do a guest role for the strip, one of my storylines will be Keri trying out for the cheerleader squad.

On the first day of tryouts she does a split. Five class rings fall out.
