Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for January 31, 2013

By the way, your forehead is bleeding.

The magik of P-cock means more and better scores!

P2 – is she wearing safety glasses?

Wow, how tall is No. 12 in that first panel? She can grab the net without even straightening out her arm. I’d guess she’s at least 6-10. She should be able to dunk the ball with ease if she can even get a foot off the ground.

More Marjie Ducey means happier Thorpalcholics. The difference is confidence Ms. Ducey. From the Tat Slap and Shamrock Shake to the latest craze in Milford, get ready you marketing whizbag, Doyle Doofus…The Peacock Strut.

Ms Ducey I commend you… The last stalwart of journalism.. You have rebuked the use of a tape recorder like the rest of your peers and have stuck with paper and pencil for your interviews. Good thing Mia is stammering on her response so you can write everything down correctly.

Ms. Ducey will then find a pay phone to dictate her story to the paper, or maybe the paper has given her an old Tandy word processor to write her story on.

She can’t decide which is better luck, P-cock or the thick ’stache.

I hope Marjie doesn’t abbreviate or misspell “peacock” in her column when she handles this quote. That could be awkward.

What’s different? The ball started going in.

By the way, why are you applying coal tar to your lip?

Marjie better get her facts straight. Says Mia scored 15, but writes 19 in her notes. She must have other thoughts on her mind.

BikeMike, I hear the official scorer has her getting 17 pts.

Rod W began drawing this strip around 6 or 7 years ago, I believe. I think he’s fine …. we commenters like kidding him, but at least on my part, it’s tongue in cheek. Hey, it’s just a comic strip.

“I’ve seen the cock” is not a good answer.
