Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for March 10, 2014

Yes, the world would be much more interested in the Harlem Shake performed by a girls’ basketball team than in a teen-aged girl’s exposure.

Yep, it’s time to break out a flash mob/basketball practice dance routine that goes through all of Milford High.

Since every boy in a radius of a hundred miles apparently couldn’t stop watching Wendy dance with her clothes on at the St. Fabian’s mixer, maybe this isn’t so far-fetched. Apparently the world really does revolve around Milford High.

Sure, let’s sacrifice a few days of practice to try to make a viral video to take the focus off the OTHER viral video. Brilliant!

You’ve seen Wendy. Now stalk some of our other players!

Two words: cat meme

Another Gil talent – the ability to eat and talk simultaneously. No wonder he’s spilling his soup. What a schlemiel. Good thing the windows are up, too, with all those poisonous gases drifting outside the car.

To quote Spock from Star Trek II, “The needs of the many…outweigh the needs of the few.” How about a season that Mr. Berrill would be proud of, minimal dealing with goofy topical teen issues and maximizing the coverage of MHS teams.

Two possibilities: 1. during filming of “practice” there will be multiple wardrobe malfunctions involving every team member. 2. Mimi herself has a wardrobe malfunction.

Oh no, I was afraid of this. Neal and Rod have upped the ante and are coming up with something even stupider than I can create. They’re trying to put me out of business.

P2. The office setup, two women, seductive posing, bad dialog. I could swear that is taken directly out of a bad 1970’s porn film.

In all reality, the video / porno plot will feature sex starved female basketball players seducing the Mop Man in the gym , with the boys team taking the court to join the fun and all soap up in a mass shower. Sign man will make subtitles.

Check the body language in P2: legs open, arms down and between. I don’t think they’re talking about Gil’s idea, but I do think a camera is going to be involved and multiple other participants.

Maybe they caught one of the aliens and are planning an autopsy video.

Is that Casper “the friendly ghost” materializing to the left of Gil in panel one?

If Gil knows so much about misdirection, why can’t we see it on the football field?

Just noticed Mimi is in the driver’s seat. Maybe this is a metaphor for Gil’s life.

Here’s today’s alternate strip, only slightly more ludicrous than the real strip.

Staring at the same bit of porn for too long gets old.A brief distraction will improve the viewing experience.

In all reality , Sign Man needs some help with creating signs for the video. Dirty Girl, Scrub Me, and Yes , oh Yes are all he s thought of. Any other ideas ?

I called it! I said Rubin would resolve this in his usual goofy manner.
