Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for December 04, 2013

I think Moon’s watching somebody playing Plinko on The Price Is Right in P3.

John Pascoe, aka Poor Sweet Baby, seems well aware of why he doesn’t speak. That doesn’t seem to add up somehow. At least Gil has reclaimed his desk chair from Kaz.

Meanwhile, Chip and Hamani lie hospitalized for two weeks, the victims of a mysterious car-flipping plot device. But so long as it brings John and Angie closer…

I don’t recall any damage to the car other than it being dull side up – but there was braking of something involved.

Maybe they were attempting a “Back to the Future” event and hit a parking bumper.

Clearly a case of the fourth law of comidynamics. A body at rest remains at rest until acted upon by a desperate writer.

or something.

Being upside down is not the same as dead. I walked away from one. (I did have to crawl out a window.) I could have walked the 100 yards home, but the cops insisted on driving me. I did not think it prudent to start an argument with them.

Milford’s playing for some other team’s championship! This is as close to actual “success” as they’ve come in a long time.

Sooo….with two losses, Milfoford is out of contention for the playdowns. Terry Gallagher probably has played rugby, why not let him play RB? Once again, it’s up to the gritty, gutty, humble Mike Hayes and the two way Troys to save the day. Moonpie adheres to the late, great Dan Rowan credo, “I’ll drink to that!”

In all realty, note in P 3 the 3 bullet holes in Marty s press box window frame.

P1 – Making up? When did they have a fight?P2 – Oh Gil, you coaching genius. Let’s run a variety of two plays with the same player the whole game, they’ll never stop it.

Brilliant plan Gil! Why did they bother to suit up Tip?

P2 disturbs me. I can’t figure out if Kaz is standing on Gil’s desk or just really trying to get a peek at what Gil actually puts in that personalized mug.

Hopefully, Kaz isn’t wired. Gil has admitted to running a player ragged. With all of the injuries his players have, it won’t be hard to shut Gil down.

If that happens, then what’re we going to read? The playdowns are the least of our worries!

Hmmm. I wonder how long it will take the Valley Tech D to figure out that every play is a keeper.

Well, I am glad that Ang and John made up for the most mild ‘fight’ I have ever seen. Gil, how about those players laying in the hospital, bleeding from every pore?“Well, we should just run Hayes till his legs go numb. Then we will haul him down to sit with the boys in the hosptal. He won’t have anythng better to do. Next problem.”

Gil, now running the “veer” offense, boldly steps into the 1960’s…

Panel 3. Sign guy is holding a black sign. Is that a signal to the aliens?

Okay, remember this from the beginning of football season?

What was the point of that? There was never any reference to it or follow up in the story.

Judging from Gil’s hand holding the coffee cup, it would seem that he is suffering from horrible rheumatoid arthritis.
